I had never had a feather pillow and these will not replace my tempurpedic pillow my daughter gave me several years ago for sure. I didn't find them to be all that comfy even after they nearly doubled in size from sitting out per the instructions for a couple of days. I will probably use them for sham fillers rather than try to use them for cuddle or sleep pillows. At least now I know what I'd rather not have after buying these. Unless you like a rather flat pillow that isn't soft & cuddly, I'd say pass on these.
