This is my second set of these foam pillows, and I can tell you, without reservation, these are the best foam pillows available. Considering the low cost, they are one of the best bargains I've come across. I bought my first set a number of years ago (6 or 7?). They were still going strong when I decided to wash the covers. I hadn't washed them (use double pillow cases) in over a year. When I removed them, I found small pices of the foam coming off, so I decided to repurchase. I was delighted to find that Great Offer Stock still had the same pillows for sale. To tell you the truth, it's hard to tell the difference between these new pillows and the old ones, they hold up so well. Before I bought the first set, I had spent hundreds of dollars buying pillow after pillow trying to find one with the right loft that would stay consistent over time. I never could until I bought these foam pillows. I know that they will be the same night after night, year after year. That's worth the world to me, snf I hightly recommend them. If you like high loft, get the firm. Otherwise, get the medium wieght. You'll think you're laying your head on a cloud.
