The Outdoor Optimist Side Sleeper Velvet Pillowcase, Gray, Standard

This pillow is perfection. I'm a side- and stomach- sleeper, and I get really bad headaches if I wind up in a position where my neck isn't supported the right way. Normal pillows are usually either too flat or too bulky, and tend to just push my head up without supporting my neck or shoulder. This pillow fixes all of that. It's comfortably soft but still springy enough to provide support, the covering is removable/washable + feels nice against the skin + breathes, the shape of the pillow is great for using in more than one orientation, depending on what angle I'm laying at. I feel immense relief on my muscles when I use it compared to the struggle I have with a normal pillow, and doesn't give me a headache.Only thing is I wish they made it in other colors :)

I have had 8 of these pillows. I love all but this last one I ordered. The COVER is extremely soft and I love IT. The PILLOW is horrible. It's like sleeping on a couple limp, dry dishrags. WHERE IS THE PILLOW? It has NO bulk or density. I could use a bath towel and have more in that soft pillowcase. I am VERY disappointed in the product. I own 2 sizes of these pillows and THIS one is 50 or 60% thinner than my smallest one. It has and holds 0 shape.Big old GOOSE EGG on this!My good ones cost about $35, so for $44 even a super soft case can't convince me to keep it.

I bought this pillow for my daughter and soon after her husband was stealing this pillow from her. So, to save the marriage, I bought a second pillow for them. I like how the cover can be removed and washed. it's just a comfy pillow and can be used many different ways, not just how it is shown in picture. the pillow is easy to fluff up and it doesn't loos it's shape. I have one as well.

I slept through the night the first night I used it, but this is the hardest pillow I have ever used. The hole is great, as I had a small skin cancer removed from my ear, hence the reason I purchased it. However after four nights, the hole began to settle lower, raising the outer edge to push on my forehead, where another biopsy was performed. I have another very expensive pillow, this one replaced, much the same shape. My other pillow is much softer, and the leg on the back is much longer, offering better support than this pillow. After five nights I start out with this one, and end up by morning back with my old one. This is losing shape. If the back leg were 6 inches longer, and one could remove filling, I might be able to work with it. I will be having a MOHS procedure on the side of my head. This pillow will not meet my needs at that point.I’m still looking for something to better meet my needs. One of the other reasons I purchased this was because I thought my old one was too hot. It is memory foam. It’s not as hot as this one, this pillow is so hot it makes sweat horribly.It’s a conundrum, because in spite of all it’s short comings I can still sleep on it, and haven’t given up. If I were a seamstress I’d make the back longer. My old pillow completely supports my back. I was hoping this would do like wise. Not so, far to short, it just barely come over the shoulder. The support ends there.No, I wouldn’t recommend this. It’s not as advertised. The biggest issue is it’s as hard a rock with no give, brand new, and lost it’s shape. So much potential with a few improvements. ForNow, just no, look further.

Fits pillow really tight, hard to sleep with it on.

This review is for the pillow case only. Purchased the 80-YT225 Contour Pillow a while back, IMPOSSIBLE to find pillow cases for it! This is the only pillow case I have found that fits! Too bad only in one color, but still plan to buy more! Soft and comfortable and easy to put in the pillow!

I bought this pillowcase under the impression that it would help keep the pillow cool as I slept. Unfortunately, it does not. It gets as warm throughout the night as any of my other pillowcases. It is very comfortable to the touch. If it were available in additional colors, I would probably buy another one without the expectation of staying cooler as I slept.

This pillow is garbage. I bought one a couple years ago similar that’s been great. This one has hardly any stuffing in it. It’s like laying directly on the mattress with nothing supporting your head.
