So far, I really like this pillow. The bigger size is so good as I turn from side to side and I don’t have to continually reposition. Firm enough for neck support but soft enough to be comfortable. I let it sit for five days  before I used it so I didn’t notice any odd odor. Seems to stay cooler and at 90 degree heat during the day, it’s nice to have a cool pillow to sleep with. Pillows are very important to a good night’s sleep and I look forward to many good nights ahead.
