[Updated] NOT GOOD for SIDE SLEEPERS
March 23, 2015 Update:<br /><br />I had to purchase another one because the original pillow lost volume over the years (the millet probably crushed into powder).  The new version of this pillow has MUCH LESS MILLET inside, making it a lighter and flatter pillow than before that is NOT GOOD FOR SIDE SLEEPERS.<br /><br />You cannot change the volume of the millet yourself because the pillow sealed the millet seed compartment.  You have to be handy as a tailor and have a sewing machine to undo the seams and later repair the hole.<br /><br />As a side sleeper, I buy several pillows every year since all the pillows I buy start too high then flattens out over time.  My search is over: the Serenity Pillow has left me without neck pain since I've used it.  The wool/cotton cover over the millet softens the firmness of the grain so it's not uncomfortable.  There is a faint millet/grain smell but it doesn't bother me.<br /><br />The only concern I have is the wool/cotton cover is fairly warm -- good during the winter months -- but I wonder if it will be too hot during the summer.  Only time will tell.<br /><br />UPDATE February 11, 2012:<br /><br />It's still a great pillow, BUT the pillow case has stretched out so the grain has more room to move and the pillow will flatten out a little. This pillow does not flatten out like normal poly-fill/foam pillows because the pillow is still very firm.<br /><br />I may try to sew the end of the casing shorter to make the pillow full again.<br /><br />The grainy smell went away (for any of you who are interested).
