just got these and unwrapped them. they're pretty puffy for being shrink-wrapped or whatever, but i'm still giving them the suggested 48-hour fluffing period. i cheated a bit and have snuggled up with one. my cat took to lying on the other. they seem very comfortable, full, and well-made. no immediate need for an extra pillow cover ... but might invest in them down the road to protect these. 95% feather 5% down, but not noticeably pokey. quilting is nice. can't wait to sleep on them! great and very affordable addition to the bedroom.
