First, I didn't realize the foam was in pieces. But that actually worked out well because I tend to shape my pillows around me when I sleep. These pillows have the right balance of give and firmness. They're pretty heavy for pillows but that's not a deal breaker. They come with a removable cover so it's easy to keep them clean. And even the cover has a little plush layer.

All in all, these were what I was looking for.
