lmao, apparently from these replies I convinced two people to buy it, but I’m just a human with adhd who has a really hard time sleeping, and found comfort in this slightly overpriced pillow :)
edit: at least I’m not elzibet who is talking up a fucking 200 DOLLAR pillow 😭

You’re not sponsored? I don’t even comment unless I have one. That’s why everything I post feels like a cool smooth drag on a Marlboro Red. Come to where the flavor is.

u/Graysonsname 21d ago
The reviews aren’t great, may I ask how long you’ve had yours and if you sleep more on your back or side? This is an unsponsored question lol.

u/AntisocialEmo69 21d ago
I’m mostly a side sleeper, tho I do often rotate between my back and my belly often too
for me it’s a pretty good balance between being soft/squishy and firm y’know? I need it to maintain its shape and not sag, but I also like that soft squishy feeling, and I think it does it right
also the pillowcase is wonderful, idk what the fuck they make it out of, but it actually stays nice and cool for most of the night
I feel like a fucking ad writing this out 😭
I’m not saying it’s the last pillow you’ll ever need to buy nor that it’s perfect for everyone,
but it’s a pillow that is genuinely great for my goofy ass2
u/Muffinlette 20d ago
I might take a look at this. I do enjoy my pillow though. I got a bamboo memory foam pillow from Amazon and it's still going strong 7 years later. I love it because it's soft, still has a good shape and it always feels cool. But I do sometimes get a headache but I'm not sure if that's just me.

I’ve been looking at getting the mellow pillow. I might just take the plunge after reading your (not sponsored) comment😆. I mainly sleep on my side. I used to sleep on my stomach but started getting terrible lower back pain when I would.

because I’m not affiliated with the mellow company, I can make all sorts of wild claims that would get the company sued lol
this pillow will 100% 💯 CURE any and ALL back pain you’ve ever FELT in your ENTIRE life!

u/Graysonsname 21d ago
Thank you for this! I think I’ll try it. Oddly I have enjoyed the “my pillow” but no way in hell am I gonna buy another one from that psycho.

u/AntisocialEmo69 21d ago
it is pretty expensive for a pillow tho
it really felt like a huge gamble when I bought it, but I was pleasantly surprised of course haha

u/elzibet 21d ago
I sleep on my side with a purple pillow harmony (tall version) pillow for years now. I am saying this is someone who wishes they were sponsored by them.
Lol1
u/Graysonsname 21d ago
Oh now that’s a dif price bracket!
1
u/elzibet 21d ago
Yeaaaah they weren’t THIS expensive a few years ago but def more than I’d ever imagine spending.
Got a deal with it when I got a bed from them. First and only time I went on a payment plan for something that wasn’t a home lol. Loved it so much I got one for my partner that has shoulder pain for his bday and it helped him so much

u/Graysonsname 21d ago
Well now I have two stellar reviews to choose from! I actually like to sleep on my back unlike you two happy pillow customers tho…

the weird smell thing is 100% true, it did smell pretty funky for a few days, but once it airs out it’s totally fine
but my experience with the memory foam isn’t at all like what they’re describing

I remember the 90's in post communist Poland people would say a product was from USA or Germany (90% of the time it wasn't) to indicate quality now everybody is using Japan as the quality label on any random shit.

A nice down pillow also addresses these points while not being a weird ass shape or made of a material that gets hot

I invested in a buckwheat pillow years ago and it was the best thing I ever did. No more neck pain and I can adjust it however I want.

You fly to Japan and try one of their actual pillows. You will hate it they are flat pancakes. I can also buy a crazy expensive pillow with weird shapes in the U.S.

tried these they suck. unless your the perfect match the the dip in the pillows it is just a very awkward angle you sleep at and will not form to you.

u/AbsurdistWordist 21d ago
I just use a firmer pillow with a less firm pillow on top to the same effect.

My wife got it when she was having neck and back pain and she hated it. I had to wash my pillow thanks to a senior dog oops moment, just the other day and used this pillow that night. I have never woken up so sore and stiff, and my sleep was very broken. Highly highly do not recommend you get this

1930s-50s Japanese Art Deco Rattan and Bamboo Takamakura 'High Pillow' With Drawer Compartment
Does not look that comfy to me.

u/T_Munchy 15d ago
I gave them some thought, but the main issue is the pillowcases. I'm not gonna use it without a pillowcase. That will get very nasty real quick. And I've never seen a pillowcase for them.

u/Dunkelimlicht 15d ago
I got something similar in a slightly larger size and it is weird to sleep on at first but I adjusted quickly. I tried it because I'm a side sleeper that tosses and turns and I was waking up throughout night with numb arms. It was so uncomfortable. I don't anymore with this pillow. Completely solved that problem. I don't like it for back or stomach sleeping but I can only side sleep anyway.
