Meoflaw Luxury Hotel Queen Pillows, 2-Pack

Having tried so many different pillow types, many that were billed as game changers that became flat and un-fluffable within a month or two, I’m very skeptical of claims where pillows are concerned. Buy sometimes price isn’t indicative of quality. And that’s the case with these. They arrived flat, packed with all the air sucked out them, like bags of freeze-dried coffee. They fluffed quickly though, and have turned out to be the plumpest pillows I’ve ever owned.

Having used genuine down, various down alternatives, bamboo, copper, buckwheat, and who knows what was inside of some, this was my first memory foam pillow. Memory foam seems to be one of the fad products that companies think they can put into anything to make it sell, whether it’s actually effective in that product or not. And I’m now pretty well convinced that using it in pillows was a very good idea. I don’t know if it’s entirely due to the pillows, but with these, I’m sleeping better than I have in years. I’m an all over sleeper, usually starting on my back, moving to one side or another an hour later, and eventually waking on my stomach, after tossing from side to side a few times during the night. I’m the type who can even work his way to his stomach when sleeping in a hammock or a recliner. I don’t remember if I was ever able to make it through the night on my back when I was younger, but I almost did after a week or so with these pillows. I also have yet to wake up with a sore ear, due to sleeping on my side, unlike even the soft down pillows I’ve owned.

The first night, it felt as if the back of my head almost sunk to the mattress. The pillows also didn’t give me the support I’m used to for reading in bed. I feared I’d wasted 30 bucks. But then I was surprised at how long I stayed asleep that first night and even more amazed a week or so later when I awoke at 5am to discover I hadn’t even turned once yet. I was still sleeping on my back! But with both pillows under my shoulders and head mind you, as I’d fallen asleep reading. For me that was quite surprising. And my nights have been some of the most restful I’ve had in years ever since. It’s still hard to believe a pillow could make that much difference for someone who would still routinely fall into a deep sleep even on a hard concrete floor in his 20s and 30s. But, I’m confident these have made a significant difference.

Another great thing is the complete absences of lumps or noticeable shifting of the filling. I don’t use them without pillow cases, but they feel comfortable enough and well enough made to do so. It’s only been a couple months, but if they’re still this fluffy in a year as is claimed, I’ve found my new go-to pillows, or at least my pillow type, assuming the price hasn’t inexplicably changed far exceeding reasonable rates of inflation in that time, as so many products on amazon do.

I’ve been putting off buying pillows for such a long time for two reasons: They are expensive… They suck for how expensive they are. The only pillow I have been happy with is this gel memory foam one that I have. Last time I checked, the only similar one I could find was around sixty dollars. Is it worth it? Maybe, but I do not *need* more pillows. I was happy with my one pillow *and* saving sixty dollars. That was until I finally got a cute bed set. I’ve always wanted a bed set that matches with the vibe of my room, but always put it off because I only had one pillow. Either way, with the size of the set I wanted (Queen even though I have a full bed) my pillow was too small for the pillow cases. When I bought the set, I got the measurements of the pillows and searched them up online to buy two new pillows. I talked myself into it because of the duvet set and because my friends never have a pillow when they sleep over – kill two birds with one stone. I’m gonna be honest, when they got here I wasn’t expecting to like them at all. One of the things I don’t trust blind buying is pillows. This is mostly because whenever I go to a store and think ‘Hey, maybe today I’ll actually get a pillow.’ I get disappointed. I swear, it’s like every pillow has zero support. It should not say ‘firm pillow’ if when I touch it, the thing feels like it’s full of air. That pillows ‘firmness’ is not holding the paw of my three pound Chihuahua, I promise you it’s not going to hold my head. Point is, I had no hope for these besides aesthetic purposes. Well, let’s just say I ate my words. Once you fluff them out, these pillows are so big and actually full of stuffing. Now, I’m not going to go out and say it has that same firmness as memory foam, but compared to any other pillow I’ve felt in store (especially considering the price) these are amazing. They filled out the pillow case just how I wanted, and honestly, I use them more than my memory foam pillow now. Also, don’t know if this makes too much of a difference for anyone, but I have four piercings on each ear (Two helix and two lobe). Whenever I wasn’t using my airport travel pillow to sleep, these pillows didn’t put much pressure on them. My piercings are healed enough now that they don’t hurt when I sleep on them, but before, it was really nice to actually sleep on a pillow.

TLDR: I hate most pillows, but these are the exception. Very fluffy and comfortable.

Update to my earlier review. I solved the height problem by modified another pillow. I took some of the stuffing out of another pillow and placed it under the Meoflaw. Now the height is perfect and its a really comfortable pillow, Luv it. No problems, as advertised, great product, good quality. My wife luvs hers. it didn’t work for me cos I couldn’t get the right height for me..

I bought these based on the great reviews, but when they are arrived I was so disappointed.
They are like a bag of rags.
Save your money and go to dunelm or ikea where you can get far superior pillows, made better, for £6-£10 each tops.
