My polyester fill pillows had aged. A shredded memory foam replacement caused terrible respiratory reactions from the polyurethane. Allergic to both feathers and wool, I turned to Great Offer Stock for some down alternatives. I purchased two different brands of standard size pillows. They are both well made and are very nice pillows. This review is for the Downlite Luxury Primaloft down alternative, *** If I was using the pillows primarily for shams, the springier, higher loft Downlite would be a great choice. Also, it's loft makes side sleeping easier on the shoulders. It would also be preferred when reading in bed or any time you want your head raised a bit more. However, for just pure comfort under your head, I preferred the *** pillow. It seemed to feel more like a real down pillow to me. I'm going to end up buying one more of each - so I will have a set of two for both of them.
