Their F rating is because they are constantly saying that "buy one get one free" is a limited time offer, which apparently it wasn't, it's not because of the quality.

I have two My Pillows and I love them! I've had chronic insomnia for about 20 years, three hours of sleep is a good night for me. I'm used to the lack of sleep, as I apparently don't need much, however, I hated the way my other pillows left me with a stiff neck, shoulder aches, upper arm pain, etc.. It sucks lying in bed for hours and being uncomfortable. The My Pillow is extremely comfortable. It's different than regular pillows because they're made from chopped up pieces of memory foam. You can rearrange the foam by squishing it with your hands and it feels so soft against your ears and side of your face.

If you buy some, get the large, I bought one large and one regular and wish they were both large. The size depicts how thick they are, not their length and width. I'm 5'7", average build.

I bought mine from QVC, knowing I could easily return them after thirty days if I didn't like them. I definitely won't be returning them.

I love mine, I have the large size and it is very comfortable. I believe it
helps *me* with my neck problems, dh likes his as well, but doesn't think
it's much better than other pillows. YMMV, but I have never been sorry that
I bought it.

I have yet to find a pillow that suits me and I have bought top quality
as well as "hotel-quality" pillows . I also bought an expensive memory
foam pillow from a retailer with many outlets up here that advertises
itself as a "sleep expert". The bloody thing was a waste of money. I'm
still looking.

It's good to hear from someone who actually has and uses it rather
than from people posting negative hearsay, thank you. I see their ads
on TV constantly so never thought My Pillow could be purchased other
than directly from them. My two pillows are very old and ready for
the trash, but they are filled with some sort of dacron fiber that has
held up well for some twenty years. For me it's important that
pillows can be used for back support while sitting up in bed...
eventually I fall asleep and slide down so my head is on the
pillows... I've tried one pillow but I really need two.

> Have you tried pure Canadian goose down (not feathers) ?

There's no such thing as "Canadian goose down", you must mean Canada
goose down. Down is still feathers only it's the small undercoat
feathers. The best fowl down would be eider goose down, but down is
used for warmth, not comfort. I once owned an eider goose down
sleeping bag, exceptionally warm but after a couple three uses begins
to stink and costs a small fortune to be professionally dry cleaned. I
also had a generic down filled jacket, label said to machine wash
delicate and machine dry low... ruined. I would never buy any down
filled items again. Nowadays for ultimate warmth I buy Thinsulate. I
have several pair of gloves and boots lined with Thinsulate, excellent
for cold weather. However I don't want a pillow for warmth. I use a
very good wheelchair cushion on my computer chair, primarily for
height, it sandwiches a 3" thick slab of memory foam between some sort
of gel... it's lasted about ten years. Amyway there're a lot of
different pillows out there, very difficult to decide. I don't know
if diced memory foam is better than dacron. For me an important
element of a pillow is its ticking (the cloth covering) plus I use a
zippered pillow cover as well, then of course the pillow case. I've
found the layers of cloth coverings and their quality makes a big
difference in the comfort the pillow offers, the fill is only part of
it.

If you like sitting up in bed to read or watch TV, an adjustable bed is
ideal. Of course it is considerably more costly than a couple of
pillows. If you've been thinking of a new bed, give a look.

There's no such thing as eider goose down.
Eider down comes from ducks, not geese.
Eider ducks.

And what about an adjustable eyebrow wiper for after you've walked
from your adjustable bed to your adjustable chair?

You owned something made with eider goose? In the rest of the world
eider is a duck.

I already have a costly bed with a very expensive Sterns & Foster
mattress and box spring, and I really am not nearly ready for a
hospital bed. I've looked into those back support cushions, some have
built in arm rests but I don't think they'd be comfortable for
sleeping. I really don't need a new bed, I just need two good
pillows. Amazon sells a lot of pillows including My Pillow:

Our bedrooms are set up with them. I still have down pillows and
"other"pillows around the house. I have a stiff neck, and it took some
time to get used to the MP that I sleep on now. In fact, I went back to
my inexpensive down pillows for a month or so and decided I liked the
MyPillows better. So that's what I use and am happy with. I won't rave
about them. They work for me.

If this group is any indication, I should see if I can buy shares in
the company.

Dinner tonight: chicken thigh/leg (aka maryland in Aus) with garlic,
chilli, galangal, capsicum, lime juice, kaffir lime and curry leaves,
a bit of veggie stock and fresh coriander.

Yes, I have had some really good pillows cost wise too, latex pillows, goose
down, foam rubber etc., but for me the My Pillow has been the best so far.

Honestly, I haven't tried it that way so don't know about back support when
reading. I use my other pillows when I'm reading so that I can be propped up
higher and supported, and use the My Pillow for sleeping. I don't know this
for a fact, but have heard that the My Pillows purchased in stores for less
money are not the same quality even though they are the My Pillow brand, but
that might be some kind of marketing ploy. I ordered mine from the company
site which asks you how you sleep, side, back, combination etc. to make sure
you choose the one best for you. They do come with a money back guarantee so
it might be best to try it and see if they work for you, if not...return
them.

I have one of those with the arm rests in the closet, it is not comfortable
to me at all, and certainly not for sleeping, but again...YMMV.

The very best pillow I've found for good back support while reading or
sitting up in bed is the Joy Mangano MemoryCloud pillow. It's a memory
foam pillow that offers a supportive, firm loft. Really supportive. I've
found no other that compares to it for that purpose (I'd rate it a 10!).
As far as sleeping goes, I no longer have to use two pillows (I'm a side
sleeper) or bunch one up under my neck. It's supposed to have a warm and a
keep cool side, but I haven't noticed much difference. The only con to the
pillow is that it tends to mould itself into the gap between my mattress
edge and the headboard (making a triangle shape), so by morning there's
more pillow there than under my neck.

I saw a segment about that on the CBS Morning Show. It seems he
advertised a BOGO at Christmas when there had already been a BOGO ad in
place for months (just pay extra shipping!). It was not a "new" offer
but the ads made it sound like it was. They dunned his rating. He
doesn't care.

As for how well My Pillow works... no comment. The various online
reviews of the product are mixed. The reviews I read were not laudatory.

When I was married, the wife gave me a king size down pillow one
Christmas. I used it one night and gave it to her. And yes, that
probably offended her.

I sleep with several pillows. The giant down one was so super soft.
I layed on it and it sunk down to no pillow quickly. So I folded it
in half and again it sunk down to nothing much more than the
pillow case. eheheh

note: if you've ever tried a down pillow, you know this.

Anyway, that first night, I ended up folding and folding and this
king size down pillow ended up being about the size of a washcloth
and it still didn't support my head.

No thanks.

No, dummy, it means geese reared in Canada specifically for down
production. The cold climate produces a higher loft of down

Of course; but some people* who know bugger all about pillows, confuse
the two; that's why I specified down, not feathers.

There's no such thing as eider geese. See above*. Their down loft is
smaller than goose down (which matters, for pillows).

> down is used for warmth, not comfort.


See above*. In pillows, down is used for comfort and resilience.

It's a curious thing. I never noticed it happening. I went back and
looked and only some of my posts had the Avast signature, and I had not
made any changes.

No, they're not meant for sleeping but they are fantastic if you
watch tv while in the bed or read. They're available at K Mart
Walmart, and Bed,Bath, & Beyond to name a few stores.
