I gave this pillow to my daughter to use because she loved it when she saw it.  It is a nice size too.  Both sides are very soft to lay your head on.  The side with the fringe is not the best for laying your face on, as the fringe does go into your mouth or nose or eyes, but it is very soft.  The other side is also soft and perfect for laying your head on.  It is more of a decorative pillow in my opinion, but my daughter loves it in general.  If i saw it, i would get her another one in another color.
