I bought these pillows to replace my husband's down pillows that were leaving feathers all over the place. He would never let me buy him anything other than down pillows - until now. Since we've had these pillows, he won't even touch the down pillows he was using. They do a great job imitating down pillows, but without the feather mess!!! I have even stolen one of his pillows and now prefer them over my old favorite pillows, as they are super comfy and don't leave me with a sore neck in the morning. Highly recommend to anyone who loves down pillows but doesn't love their mess!!!
