The Last Lecture"We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand." Randy Pausch A lot of professors give talks titled "The Last Lecture." Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them. And while they speak, audiences can't help but mull the same question: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy? When Randy
"We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand."---Randy Pausch A lot of professors give talks titled "The Last Lecture." Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them. And while they speak, audiences can't help but mull the same question: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy? When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave--"Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams"--wasn't about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because "time is all you have...and you may find one day that you have less than you think"). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living. In this book, Randy Pausch has combined the humor, inspiration and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will be shared for generations to come.Binding Type: Hardcover

Very soft, not firm at all
This pillow is very floppy and not firm at all. It is quite large and I was surprised at the size. My dog has taken a liking to it and decided it's now her new dig bed, which is fine by me, because it's really too soft for my liking. If you like soft pillows then this is for you. If you require something with a bit more support then you won't enjoy this pillow.

Soft and supportive
I recently purchased the this pillow and I am happy with the quality and comfort it provides. Pillow is soft, plush, and supportive without being too firm. The down alternative fill offers the balance of fluffiness and structure, making them ideal for all sleep positions. Whether I’m sleeping on my back, side, or stomach, these pillows adapt beautifully and keep me comfortable throughout the night. They’re also breathable and skin-friendly, which is a huge plus for anyone with sensitive skin. After using them, I wake up feeling well-rested and free of neck stiffness. I like it.

Pillow
These DIORIS pillows are a game-changer! I’ve tried many pillows over the years, but these are by far the best. The down alternative fill is incredibly soft yet supportive, providing just the right amount of fluffiness without feeling too firm or too soft. I sleep on my side, and these pillows cradle my head and neck perfectly, giving me the support I need for a restful night. They’re breathable and skin-friendly, which is great since I tend to get hot while I sleep. The queen size is just right for my bed, and the pillows maintain their shape night after night. They feel like luxury hotel pillows! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable, supportive, and durable pillow.

this pillow does work
For months my neck had been brothering me every morning when I woke up. Figured it was stress and I always planned on getting a massage. But I never did it. I ended up seeing this pillow on Amazon and got it. It was almost an instant 180. My neck pain is gone!
This pillow is stuffed very full but isn't super firm. It's a bit hard to describe. The seams are well sewn and the pillow has held up very well for a week now. No weird smells or any type of red flag that I found. It's easy to flip and reshape in an instant.

Comfortable to use with firm support
This set of queen-size pillows has a great balance between softness and support. The down alternative fill feels plush and comfortable. The pillows also provide enough firmness to support the neck and shoulders. A better sleep quality achieved with less tossing and turning. For sleeping on side, back, or stomach, the pillows keep their shape and offer consistent comfort. A good choice for the improvement of sleep quality with more comfort.
