I chose to buy an Emma Original pillow for myself and partner in the hope of achieving more comfortable sleep. We left them to "rise" over a weekend before trying. We've used them for 8 nights now, and each night they have become more and more comfortable. No need for a second pillow, except when sitting up in bed reading. The 2nd pillow is then discarded! So far, we are both finding Emma supportive, easy on the neck, comfy, even though they are firm. Pleased I took a punt which seems to be working out well.
