MyPillow: Yay Or Nay?
I handled them at WallyWorld some time ago and they left me unimpressed. So my vote is "Nay" for the My Pillow.

The WalMart Ultra Soft Quilted Sidewall Bed Pillows (extra firm; poly fill) we found to be far superior and very durable (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Ultrasoft-Quilted-Sidewall-Bed-Pillows-Extra-Firm-Set-of-2/30824784) are are used throughout the household.

That said for my use I converted to a memory foam contoured design 9 years ago. Bought a pair of Charter Club Visco Memory Foam Queen sized firm 3 lb fill that had 7 year warranties. As these are no longer available I just ordered a Modal Visco 4 lb fill memory foam from Amazon that I hope is just as good if not better (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F0Q0TU4/).
As an aside I use a CPAP (since 1997) and am a side and back sleeper. The contoured firm memory foam is for me and my needs to be far and away the best type/style.

Mylanta works well on my heartburn. Guess I'm shallow.

PASig,

So what pillow did you end up getting?

I'm going to try that $10 Walmart knockoff first, that someone recommended, before I drop 90 bucks on a pillow I might not like.

Based on my gut feeling and agreeing with many here on the dubious things this company has done, I'm leaning toward "Nay".

Replaced my buckwheat hull pillows a couple years ago (looked like ww2 bandages at the end) with a couple of those pillows with the bamboo (rayon) covers. Don't recall the brand but they seem to be everywhere. Bought them on a whim one day in the local city market. Love it-after it breaks in a little.

My doctor said Mylanta... okay so it doesn't include all of them until it becomes mymylanta. Big Grin

Mostly thinking about all the cutesy crap where they have the address of My (what ever the hell their company name is) instead of simply (what ever the hell their company name is) for some forsaken reason. Maybe it is spawned by my disdain for Microsoft (my computer, my network places, my other crap) from very early on. Now I avoid Google like a virus. Mostly because it is...

We tried them, didn't like them, sent them back. Pillows are a very personal preference.
We sell all kinds (8 types)of cpap pillows and ironically no one ever came in for a return. Go figure...
