Doesn't lose loft and resiliency
I was given one of these pillows about three years ago that had been purchased as a 2-pack from a warehouse store and I liked it so much that I went to the same store and bought an additional 2-pack.<br /><br />I prefer a firm pillow that provides more loft and support without collapsing, as I tend to sleep on my side.  This pillow fills the bill perfectly.  It weighs considerably more than a down-filled or polyester fiber-filled pillow, but that isn't an issue.  From a thermal standpoint, it feels about the same as down and polyester fiber pillows I've used in the past.  All considered, I don't think I'll go back to those earlier technologies.<br /><br />There are some quirks about this pillow.  The fill material doesn't shift as easily as down or feathers would, and with abuse the pillow tends to compact into a lump after a while.  This can be corrected with some vigorous shaking and kneading.  Conversely, the material doesn't seem to break down and lose loft and resiliency, whereas after a couple of years of use a polyester fiber pillow would have been ready to toss out.<br /><br />My pillow 2-pack says they were Made in China, even though the description above says they're made in USA.  Further, I recently discovered that the inner spun-bonded (non-woven) polyester bag that contained the foam bits was disintegrating and leaking.  The filler consisted of random bits of memory foam ranging from off-white to pale blue in color, and appeared to be shredded remnants from mattress manufacturing. I solved the problem by cutting the bag open, dumping the filler contents into a large plastic tub, then stuffing the filler into a new Standard/Queen microfiber pillow protector that I had obtained inexpensively from a local department store.  Thus, I managed to recover 99% of the filler.  I then put my reconstituted pillow into the original protector.  It was an easy fix that cost about $2 and 20 minutes of my time.
