It takes an exceptional product to get five stars for me. Having said that, four stars is a really good result. I am incredibly picky about pillows. I literally go through two or three pillows every other month. I just can’t seem to get comfortable. I have only had these pillows for about a month, but that’s twice as long is I usually have pillows. So that’s a good sign. They are very soft and I like to twist and squish a lot. And they seem to be holding up so far. There’s not a pillow on earth that won’t break down eventually considering how much I fold and pull and twist. But I like these and I’m going to order more as soon as I submit this review.
