AllerEase Hot Water Washable Allergy Protection Pillow

-SUMMARY: Bargain for the price. Comfortable and cheap replacement. Highly recommended.Full review:============Well how long of a review can one write on a pillow? We shall see, I guess.I bought a couple of those to replace my aging pillows, The ones I had seem to have developed a "hole" in the middle where my head usually is. Anyhow to be honest I did not expect too much when ordering these. The price and lack of any "eye candy" as it were suggested that they're cheap and would not be usable so I had planned to have new 2 pillows for my wife to stitch together into a dog bed as it were.Well, I'm sorry to say but, dog's gonna have to wait. Surprisingly the pillows are quite comfortable to sleep on. Notice I did say sleep on.I have tendency to lay on my side while reading a book on my electronic device that shall remain un-named. And at the moment the pillow (the other one was "kidnapped" by my wife)is new and super "fluffy". That is to say when I put my head on it it envelops it like a mini cloud. I can usually see through one of my eyes then, and I can only use one of my nostrils too. I find myself laying diagonally now while reading.We have not tried to wash the pillows yet so I can not comment on the pillows ability to rejuvenate itself, that is to say to become plush as it was when it first arrived. Having said that however so far I have not notice any difference between it's plushness when I first used it and now.Additionally I can not comment on longevity of the product as I have had the pillows for just about 1 week so far. IF I remember (no promises) I will update the review after a reasonable time has passed and comment on the durability and wash-ability of the product.Update (June 10th 2012): The pillows are still being used by myself and wife. We have washed them a couple of times so far and once they go through the dryer they're as good as new. Additionally after prolonged use (about a week and a half ish) pillows will develop the "hole" where your head usually is but this can be quickly fixed by shaking pillows around from side to side a few times or by just putting the pillow in a dryer for about 15 minutes. There are no signs of any rips or bad stitching so I would expect they will last for quite a while. Updated rating to 5 stars now also.Update (May 25th 2013): Both pillows are still being used and are still as comfortable as when we first got them. Updated the rating to 5 stars since on the last update I forgot to do so and changed the title to reflect the rating of 5 stars.UPDATE (Saturday, 21st January 2017): Yep, I am STILL using these pillows. My wife has moved onto other kind (due to health requirements) but I'm still happy with these little clouds-in-a-bag. We have washed the pillows numerous times through the years using both old top loading and the newer front loading machines and they're still as happy as the first day we had them when they come out of the dryer. Albeit the whites aren't as white nowadays this has not degraded the usability of the pillows themselves. for the price I expected them to fall apart long ago but they're still with me in the bed every night (literally).

I have tried MANY pillows on Amazon (at least 10 types), and have only kept a few that I feel as thought I liked. After realizing that I may be allergic to down feathers, I was in search for a down-alternative pillow, and this one comes is pretty close! It fluffs back a bit faster than a down pillow, however, I don't really mind this as it is less work in keeping up the pillow's shape.I sleep with a memory foam pillow (Z by Malouf - Zoned Memory Foam, High Loft, Plush - Queen) and use this one to hold onto at night, however, I have used it as my main pillow just to feel how it compares, and it is a great main sleep pillow as well. I was so impressed with the fiberfill tension balance put into this pillow, that I bought 4 more. I also hope to buy some for my parents. For the price, this is a great pillow -- and it's machine washable!Pros:-Machine washable-Great fiberfill tension balance-Good fill material (not too hard or soft).-Close to a down feather pillow-Good on physical size, fits full-size pillow coversCons:-You may find a stray fiberfill fluff from time to time that have found its way out of the pillow. (Not a huge deal to me though.)

Just got mine last night. I've been a long time suffered of allergies. So the draw of being able to throw this pillow in the wash is terrific. I have yet to wash it however so will try to update once i do. This pillow is pretty fluffy but very soft. It says medium but its more on the soft side, so if your a medium to firm person this might not be the pillow for you. Also, it seemed to shed fluff incessantly for the first 10 minutes? Likely a product of their manufacturing process. However, not a big deal for me. I do love this pillow, its super soft and seems to stay cool. Would have given a full 5 starts but the picture is misleading. THERE IS ONLY ONE PILLOW SHIPPED. Otherwise a good buy for the price.

I generally prefer down pillows, but due to allergies thought I'd give this pillow a try so I ordered four for my guest room and two of the king sized Aller-Ease for the master bedroom. They are larger than standard pillows, are much fluffier, and hold shape as well as a foam pillow but are almost as soft as down. They provide good support and so far have held up well to daily use. If these continue to help with my allergies I may have to rate them higher than five stars. Compared to other non-down pillows these are a great price and better made. I would recommend these to even my pickiest friends.
