A searingly honest memoir of one young woman's journey toward self-acceptance as she comes to see her body as a symbol of rebellion and hope and chooses to live her life unapologetically. Ever since she was little, Leah Vernon was told what to believe and how to act. There wasn't any room for imperfection. Good Muslim girls listened more than they spoke. They didn't have a missing father or a mother with mental illness. They didn't have fat bodies or grow up wishing they could be like the white characters they saw on TV. They didn't have husbands who abused and cheated on them. They certainly didn't have secret abortions. In Unashamed, Vernon takes to task the myth of the perfect Muslim woman with frank dispatches on her love-hate relationship with her hijab and her faith, race, weight, mental illness, domestic violence, sexuality, the millennial world of dating, and the process of finding her voice. She opens up about her tumultuous adolescence living at the poverty line with her fiercely loving but troubled mother, her deadbeat dad, and her siblings, and the violent dissolution of her 10-year marriage. Tired of the constant policing of her clothing in the name of Islam and Western beauty standards, Vernon reflects on her experiences with hustling paycheck to paycheck, body-shaming, and redefining what it means to be a "good" Muslim. Irreverent, youthful, and funny, Unashamed gives anyone who is marginalized permission to live unapologetic, confident lives.Binding Type: Hardcover

Good option
Color: White, Size: Body(Pack of 1)
I’ve been using the ACCURATEX Full Body Pillow for Adults – Hybrid Shredded Memory Foam for a few weeks now, and overall I’m really happy with it. The blend of shredded memory foam gives it a firm, supportive feel, but what I love most is that you can adjust the filling to get the exact firmness you want. Whether you prefer something more structured or slightly softer, it’s easy to customize by adding or removing foam.
Comfort-wise, it’s definitely a step up from standard body pillows. It keeps its shape throughout the night and offers great support for side sleeping. That said, it is a bit firmer out of the box than I expected, which is why I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5.
If you’re looking for a body pillow that won’t go flat and lets you tweak the feel to your liking, this one is a solid choice.

Favorite pillow!!
Color: White, Size: Body(Pack of 1)
I honestly wasn’t expecting to love this pillow as much as I do. Buying pillows online always feels risky because you can’t actually feel them beforehand, but this ended up being one of the best blind buys I’ve made on Amazon. The quality is genuinely shocking for the price. It feels way more expensive than it is. It’s insanely comfortable, supportive without feeling stiff, and just has that “perfect” cozy feel. I have neck problems, so I’m really picky about pillows, and this one somehow manages to be the perfect balance. It’s supportive without being stiff or overstuffed, but also not too flat where your neck feels unsupported. It has that perfect “sink in but still supportive” feel that’s hard to find. I loved the body pillow version so much that less than a week later I’m already ordering the regular pillow version too. Easily 5 stars from me!!

Probably going to replace all the pillows in the house with these
Color: White, Size: King (Pack of 2)
These pillows are just about perfect. They have to be the best pillow for the money out there at least. I didn't even know that this kind of pillow existed but was asking Google Gemini what kind of pillow would best suit my list of needs and this is what we came up with.
- High loft for comfortable side sleeping, but can be reduced by removing foam to be less high
- Gives initially, but stays at that new same thickness throughout the night b/c it's memory foam chunks
- Doesn't feel lumpy because it has the 1cm outer pillow layer that covers the memory foam pieces
I'm 6/3" 210lbs and after a couple nights of adjusting I found that removing about 1 gallon ziploc of foam chunks from each pillow was about perfect. I saved the foam in ziplocs in case I change my mind. They come REALLY loaded at first so should fit literally anyone with some adjusting. It was definitely too big the first two nights until I got it just right.

Hard As Rock When Cold
Color: White, Size: Standard (Pack of 2)
These are good pillows except they get hard as a rock when the temps go below 65F and take 10-20 minutes to warm up at bedtime.
Not ideal where the winters are colder or for someone with cervical spine issues.

LUXURIOUS, just like it says
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
I used My Pillows for years which needed constant fluffing throughout the night until they just became useless. Since they became useless, I would always wake in the middle of the night with terrible headaches and my head would be sore all over, throbbing like a boil. I couldn’t stand anything to touch my any part of my head while these headaches occurred. One night almost a week ago I was awake in pain and couldn’t sleep. I started googling for a solution, a pillow that would support a human head, basically a bowling ball. After several products which kept sending me to Amazon, I stumbled upon this pillow. I read all of the reviews. Many compared it to a “luxurious hotel pillow”. So I waited and got them within less than 48 hours. It was a thin box so I wasn’t expecting much. They were vacuum sealed, I opened them and allowed about an hour for them to fully expand. They were comprised of memory foam and down alternative like “luxurious hotel pillows”. They were heavy too. I tried to fluff it for maximum feel. It was extremely firm and I wasn’t able to actually fluff or reform it in any manner really. I could feel the down alternative filling surrounding this semi hard center ( the memory foam I guess) and I fluffed as much as possible. I had difficulty getting it into my pillow case, which was fine to me. It just made me anticipate this perfect looking pillow. I had been suffering with these headaches due to inferior pillows, I couldn’t wait. I laid down and put my bowling ball head on it! It completely supported my head. I normally like my pillow to conform around my neck and shoulders to allow a straight alignment with my head. My head was slightly up, but hey this felt great!!! I could feel the down alternative filler cushioning my head with the firm memory foam in the middle. I could not wait to try it that night. Night comes and I’m excited to see if I can sleep through the night finally without waking with those terrible headaches. I slept almost all through the night except for going to the bathroom once!! And my head wasn’t hurting nor did it feel like a boil!! I was ecstatic to say the least. I know there are people just like me searching for relief. If you can tolerate a firm pillow you can’t go wrong with these pillows. You get two for a great price! I just wish I hadn’t wasted hundreds on My Pillows for all my bedrooms a few months ago. I will be replacing all the pillows in my home with these WONDERFUL pillows!!!
