I was tired of spending a lot of money on pillows for them to go flat 3 months later. Bought mine through the store while on vacation 5 months ago and have loved it. My daughter asked for one for Christmas. I agree with the other reviewer that it would be nice to be able to buy cases for them. We both took enough out of our pillows that we could each build at least a smaller travel pillow. After 5 months, mine hasn't deflated one bit and I have recommended this pillow to quite a few people when pillow shopping comes up. I'm buying for my other daughter now!
