Comfy back support for lounging
This lounger cushion is very comfortable and supportive and works great in the bed, on the couch, or even the floor when additional back support is needed for reading and other activities requiring you to be propped up. The size is more suitable to small to average size persons. Larger frame people may find it too small for their needs due to the width and height proportions. The cushion ships. Compressed into a small package and needs to be fluffed up a bit before use. The one I received expanded fairly quickly and was usable right away, but the instructions say to give it 24 hours to fully expand. The built in handle makes it easy to drag around to different spots. It also has zippers that allow you to gain access to the inside in case you want to remove some of the fill to adjust the softness to your liking. I found the amount of fill to be perfect as is. The is an excellent lounging pillow that feels well made, is comfortable, and attractive.

Solid addition to my bedroom for reading and watching TV.
I ordered this to add some additional comfort in my bedroom for watching TV and Reading. It was amazing how it arrived in a small box and within 2 days, it fully expanded to it's actual size. The cover does have a slight tolerable odor at first. It's not foul or anything, just something I noticed. The smell did go away mostly at the 3 day mark. If you don't like it, I would recommend putting it through the wash once before stuffing it with the Foam fill. The handle at the top has already come in handy with easily being able to move this around. This was a very nice feature of the pillow. It's grey color blends well with my White comforter and sky blue sheets. This is now providing me with much needed back support and relief. I'm going to order 2 more of these, another one for the same bed and the other for my guest bedroom.

Very cozy!
I often sleep in on weekends and when I wake up, I stay in bed and watch some TV. I sit up with a pillow propped up behind my back so when I saw this I figured I'd give it a try. I remember having similar ones when we were kids way back in the '60s '70s but this new pillow contains small chunks of memory foam so it is very comfy. The amount of memory foam chunks can be managed by unzipping the well made bottom zipper and removing or adding more memory foam. Although it does not come with extra foam, it is really stuffed full after expanding. It arrives vacuum packed and when I took it out of the plastic it looked like a baby elephant! It does say to let it rest for 3 days occasionally fluffing it to get it to it's total fullness and it did take a couple of days to expand completely but it was well worth the wait!

You cannot go wrong with this purchase.
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Crescent White
I bought this for my husband who was complaining about shoulder pain from rolling side to side nightly. He said the support is great. Quality made and comfortable, a great value for the money. Sleeps better and the company sends extra filling to adjust the thickness if you choose to.

Thank you Lord!
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Crescent White, Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Crescent White
I appreciate this pillow! Literally helped my neck problems. With the pillows I used before I would have neck pain and would be super uncomfortable. Even to the point I would feel better just sleeping without a pillow. No matter what pillow I used in the house my neck would be sore and would develop headaches. Ever since I bought this and started using it I haven't had any neck problems. Like none. I love how only one side is cooling so I can decided. The material is really nice and soft. It's also a good hugging pillow. It's definitely weirdly shaped but it has a reason. This thing will probably last me a long time. And I'm glad I spent my money on this!
