Continental Bedding 100% Luxury Down Pillows 550 FP, Soft, Standard (Pack of 1), White

Updated 09 Dec 2016 -- upped my rating to 5 star. Pillows are broken in and I'm very pleased with this purchase. Very comfortable for side or stomach sleeping. Even with all the rocks in my head, they are holding up well, sinking in just enough to retain comfort throughout the night. Glad I have them. Zzzzzzzzzzz!!!!Purchased in Aug 2016:Hard to buy pillows online but the description was accurate about the pillow type and the 550 fill, and firmness. Odd though that I ordered these on the website that showed "pillows by Better Down, sold by Quality Pillow" which matched the actual image on the website. I received what are similar pillows from/by "Continental Bedding". Even the label inside the plastic bag packaging was identical to the "Better Down" pillows listed, other than the company name. I get angry when these vendors swap products out and mix and match and mislead customers. I was going to return these but after considerable thought and not wanting to be further inconvenienced I opted for keeping the pillows that were sent. If this were clothing or tools or shoes, so what, but on products that my face will be on every night, I'd prefer accuracy on my orders and get exactly what is listed on the webpage I'm ordering from.The pillows are firm and good for back and side sleeping, seem to be stitched well, sturdy, with only a mild "feathery odor" which I know dissipates from down pillows in awhile. It's very mild.I would have ordered the Royal Hotel pillows but they are only 28 inch, and I prefer the 30 inch length so kept the set I received.While on the bed these pillows look like they're blown full of air because they stand so tall; just saying they are plenty full of down and do not squish much during the night. I alternate sleeping on my stomach and side, and these pillows are fine. I know over time down will lose some fluff (my old set did/pretty flat now) so the 550 fill is very good now, although a bit more firm than I wanted but that's OK. They'll break in a bit over time.These are full and after you push your hand into the pillow, it bounces back well. They are covered in a good amount of material so I expect they'll last.These were not cheap, and I'm still annoyed these did not match what I ordered; something odd going on, that these are being sold under different names, can't find the manufactures online anywhere, web pages do t match what I ordered..... Dunno, I guess it'll be fine if I get what I paid for as these are expensive pillows...so far so good but I've only had them a week.

Best down pillow. Fire but comfortable. Seems to hold up after two months use, most others are crushed by then

Nothing to dislike. Bought King size which is kinda large.

Here's my opinion on the good and bad:Good: not a single poking feather. Definitely 100% down. No bad smell. Nice and soft. I bought the soft king pillow set of 2. They are awesome and I would purchase again. Probably the best feather pillows I've bought.Bad: The only thing I don't love about these, and the only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is I don't like the thickness and stiffness of the fabric of the outside of the pillow. I am hoping over time it will soften up some.Overall amazing pillow and worth buying.

This pillow is phenomenal!! I can’t even express the help it brought me when I needed it most! I’ve been working with my chiropractor and doctor the past several months with a couple of injuries. Part of the side effects of my injuries are chronic neck pain and headaches. My chiropractor convinced me to try a very expensive, fancy, pre-formed style pillow. In spite of my hesitation (I have always preferred feather/down pillows), I went ahead and gave the new pillow a 2 week test run. Much to my disappointment, it actually increased my discomfort to the point of not being able to get any relief from constant, all-consuming headaches. Halfway through the second week, I searched Amazon, reading reviews and researching pillow fill amounts, etc... I was highly impressed by the positive reviews of this pillow and ordered it. Shipping was quick and remarkably, one night on this pillow seemingly reversed what the pre-formed pillow had done! Every night on it is a good sleep and I look forward to sinking my head into it!!!Pros:Perfect amount of fill! I was worried when I first took it out of the package it would be too full, but with it being all down, it’s perfection! I sink into it just right, while being supported.Doesn’t get hot like other pillows seem to!The queen size is the perfect width for my side of our queen bed.Doesn’t have feather quills that poke through.Cons:That I didn’t find it sooner!!!

I've been looking for a super soft and malleable but supportive pillow for a new bed, and I tried these ones because they were advertised as "firm." To me, they weren't firm at all. They're super puffy, not at all scratchy, no smells, and the case seems really well made, but they went pretty flat as soon as I laid on them. I tend to change positions a lot when I sleep, and when I laid on my back, these weren't supportive. I went to return the pillows, only to find out that UPS was going to charge me $60 to send them back in the same box that they arrived in. I contacted the company, and they provided me a free shipping return label, which was really great of them. All in all, I think these pillows are gorgeous and really puffy, and they'd be awesome for a stomach sleeper. But I wouldn't call them "firm," if you want a more supportive pillow. They're about as soft as any standard down pillow.

I love my new pillow. It is perfect for me.

Maybe they’re a bit too soft. But I bought the medium and they’re hard.
