I've been trying to find down pillows that support, but are still soft enough to sink down a bit. This is the third I've purchased in the last year. Each has been firmer than the last, and this one DOES THE TRICK! Candice didn't let me down! I just wish DIVINE DESIGN were back on! lol. Anyway, this pillow has no pokey feather points, and it has the nice double seam that allows it to plump back up quickly and retain its shape. I got this for my hubby, but I might have to steal it, as it's so wonderful! It's pricey, but apparently all the good ones are. It's definitely less than some I've seen, and I don't think it could be any better. Plus, I waited for a XX% off sale!!! :)
