Serta Down Illusion Medium/Firm Cotton Bed Pillows, Standard/Queen (2 Pack) | Down alternative fill offers soft comfort for every sleep position, hypoallergenic and machine washable

Mid range size and hardness . So comfortable. Perfect for me as a side sleeper. Sleeping better since I got them . Great for price .

I am a down pillow user and have slept on down pillows since I was a kid. In the past few years I've noticed that I've been much too hot sleeping on my pillows, probably due to menopause. And also the odor of the feathers started really bothering me. So I went on a search for anything that wasn't down but would give me the same sleeping experience. I tried so many down alternative pillows and most of them just felt like regular foam pillows and were thick and hot. I even tried a buckwheat pillow which felt like a rock. I couldn't even sleep on it for 30 minutes. I use it now on the bed as a back rest and it works great for that. So the search continued and then I found the Serta pillows. The price was so good I thought I would give them a try. Just out of the box I knew the pillows weren't going to be right for me. They felt and looked very big and puffy. My old down pillow was really flat and I could moosh it up to fit just how I like. So I decided to do minor surgery on one of the pillows. Serta, take note: add zippers to these pillows! I cut open an end seam just enough to get my hand through and began pulling out handfuls of the soft fiber fill. I pulled out nearly half the amount in the pillow. But it still wasn't right for me. I then took a zippered pillowcase I had and stuffed it with the filling I removed from the Serta pillow. I did a bit of mooshing and it felt and looked like my old down pillow. I tried it that first night and it did take awhile to get use to as fiber fill is different from down. But I slept great and have been using my franken-pillow for several weeks and have been sleeping really good. So after a bit of work and pillow surgery I finally have something comfortable I can sleep on that doesn't smell like a bird and is nice and cool. I say, give these a try. You can always do what I did and make it work for you.

These didn’t come vacuum sealed (I think -my boyfriend opened the package) and they were pretty thin and when Id lay my head on it, my head would touch the bed (I.e it was completely flat). So I initially thought these are crap, I’m returning them ASAP. But he asked if we could give them a chance so I agreed. And I was surprised to find the next day that they were so fluffy/puffy but also so soft?!? So I came to the Amazon page and realized it says something along the lines of to allowing 24hr for them to puff up. So I really fluffed them and beat them really good up to get air inside of them. And they became super nice and fluffy with a sturdy upright shape when the bed is made. With “firm” pillows, I typically picture a puffy and thick pillow that doesn’t sink much when you lay my head on it. That makes my neck hurt. And the word “soft” when it comes to pillows, I associate that with a pillow that you head sinks so much that it’s like laying on nothing. That’s why I bought this “medium-firm” because I didn’t want to lay my head on a rock but I also didn’t want a weak a** pillow. By saying this pillow is soft and puffy I mean it has a lot of volume and it’s thick but it is not obnoxiously resistant to mending to the shape of your head. My head doesn’t sink into nothingness, instead this pillow holds my head up just the right amount. I think what allows me to say that it holds MY head up perfectly is that it is adjustable in that you can super easily mess with it/fluff/puff it around and make it hold your head up higher or lower (I.e make it firmer or flatter). Now it’s become the first pillow I reach for every night (most comfortable) and the one I put in the front when I made the bed (it’s pretty - holds up it’s shape but it also looks cozy, soft and inviting). For reference, I mostly sleep on my stomach with one shoulder under the pillow. Also great when laying on my back bc it has so much volume (thick) but very soft so it kind of puffs up on the sides of your head and neck, thereby holding you in that position and providing support. Comfort during sleep is so important, and it’s hard to choose a pillow online, so I hope you found this helpful

These are very soft pillows but have no support and doesn't hold your neck and head in line. All in all its comfortable enough. If I was to buy again I would get the FIRM to EXTRA FIRM.

These set of pillows looked way too fluffy but they are not as they appear! They turned out to be perfect for me! My head lies just right. I have a bad back and lots of neck problems but this pillow has been so comfortable for me. I sleep in all positions and have not had any issues with it being too thick. I like that it is cooler than my old pillow. My husband tried his for about a month but went back to his old pillow because he said it was too thick for him. I would buy again!

One of the pillows arrived ripped... inside the intact plastic bag

Very soft comfortable pillow. At first I wasn't 100% sure if this would be a good pillow. But, it is worth every penny. It doesn't get in the way when I am trying to sleep. It is soft and retains its shape. It is machine washable and fluffy. It is made of quality material and fits perfect in pillow cases. Would recommend.

This product exceeded my expectations. The quality is amazing, it works perfectly, and it was definitely worth the price. I’ve been using it for a while now and I’m really satisfied with the results. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for something reliable and well made.”

Las mejores! Muy cómodas y suaves

Slept on this brand in Bali holiday and ordered straight away from Amazon. Like sleeping on a cloud every night.

Great blend of softness and loft with the right amount of support. Wish I found these sooner. I would definitely repurchase these Serta pillows over the other brands I've tried from Amazon.

Sent me used pillows and took 0 accountability for it.

I didn’t feel it comfortable I wasted my money on this
