I had to look up how long - July 2012 - and fully expect them to last many years more (they have a 10-year limited warranty). Prior to that we changed our pillows every 6-months, with a few being used as long as 1-year - and I purchased good-quality pillows. We love our My Pillow pillows.

They are somewhat lumpy, but I would say it's a "good" lumpy once you get accustomed to it. Hubby had a neck injury when he was 19 from a car accident (he was the passenger) and we never could find a pillow he was comfortable with until the My Pillow. Our son-in-law loved them from the first time he slept on them on our guest bed, so he received one from us for his birthday.

We launder our pillows several times a year (about every 4-months) and that will renew them just like new. They do take quite awhile to dry, so make sure you launder them early in the morning if you want to use them that night. Do NOT add fabric softener, and use a double spin (on the fastest spin cycle) to help them dry faster in the dryer. That's something else I think is a HUGE plus for them - they launder without a problem.

You'll only know after sleeping on one because my experience isn't going to be anything like yours will be, and they have a 60-Day Money Back Guarantee - so you're not out anything, other than time and trouble to test it. :-)

Are they made of clumps of memory foam? I bought that kind of pillow (not the My Pillow brand) from Sam's Club some time ago, but never even took it out of its wrapping because it turned into a sack of rocks in my chilly bedroom.

No but I absolutely love my latex foam pillows from bed bath and beyond. I bought them for home and the rv because I don't want to try to sleep without one. I can't do any type of memory foam it makes me sweat and I do enough of that when I sleep without the added problem the memory foam causes.

I checked them out when I had pillow issues (finally settled on buckwheat hulls). It's not a problem for most people, but I checked with the My Pillow company and they do use antimicrobial chemicals--something I'm far more allergic to than that which they're supposed to repel. That said, I didn't buy them, so can't say for sure that I'd be allergic to My Pillow, but the customer service agent didn't think theirs were any different than others and discouraged me from trying them out (which I thought was wonderfully honest of her. Sure, she's also preventing a return and saving them money, but a lot of people just push anyway).

My sister has had her pillow for over a year and loves it.

I was looking at Bamboo pillows at one of our local stores. Online, some people complained of an off-gassing. or some kind of smell. Blech.

I bought ours at Costco, and I loved them, but within a year they softened too much.

Where can you buy them....I think my husband would like it.

Bamboo is rayon, a by-product of bamboo, and it's the cover, not the contents. Nothing special about rayon, it's been around since 1905.

My husband got a package for me. Not sure where, he listens to Lavine and I think they advertise on there. It was a package of 2 pillows and 2 travel pillows. You had 60 days to return. It did take me 3 nights to get used to it. But that could have been because I wasn't able to get a restful sleep due to work. Not necessarily the pillow. After the 3rd night I love it. I really do. It feels lumpy to your hand but not your head. Once to push/pat/shove things to a comfy position it stays there. Not sure how. I over heat at night and this pillow stays cool. Instead of flipping it over you just roll over to the other edge. At least I do. These fit my king size pillow cases really well, so lots of pillow there. I didn't smell any gases coming from it, but first you put it in a warm dryer to fully fluff it up before using. So that may have helped get those gases out if there were any. Once I tried it and liked it for a couple of weeks he got a set of his own. I am a pillow hog and do not share... hahahahah

A bit off topic but related to pillows.

Would you sleep on a highly rated pillow even though it doesn't have a content label?

Brushworks, no, I wouldn't. US regulations require content labels on any kind of fabric and fill for clothing and bedding. If the label were removed by a close friend, who then gave the pillow to me, I wouldn't have an issue, but I do have an issue with companies that just skip it because they don't feel like complying.

There are a few online mattress companies offering free shredded latex pillows with mattress purchase and pillows are without a content label. Does free mean no label required? Sleep at your own risk?

Yes, but we have only had them about a week. I think I will really like the pillows. They do seem lumpy but not hard lumps and I don't think they will go flat immediately like all the others I have ever bought. I bought ours on HSN.

Almost all pillows hurt my neck..I use one that is old and flat... if I'm not at home I fold a couple of towels and sleep on that...

Ashley this one looks intetesting gonna ck it out.

After reading this thread, I really started thinking about my pillow and how I wake with a headache or a stiff neck occasionally. It's a contour memory foam pillow. I did some looking on Amazon and saw the "My Pillow" but decided to go another direction with the shredded foam. The company is called COOP; pillow is made in the USA. The pillow is very easy to shape, is washable and so far I am loving it. It's one of their #1 Best Sellers.

I recently bought the 100% LATEX solid interior pillow. The BEST pillow I have ever used. Bought all family members pillows, they are pleased also. That pillow is normally $80, at Macys, on sale this weekend till 2/15 for $37 plus 15% off this sale . If you order online can be returned to store if you don't like it

Thank you all.

I buy a good big feather pillow and empty all the feathers into a trash bag. Then fill a small pillow case with enough to be a little more than flat. Sew it up and put in washer and dyer often. They always talk about bugs getting in there. After a year I empty and refill with feathers again.

maggie200, I like that idea! I have a flat pillow (less than 1" tall when you spread it out and pat it down) but I have had that pillow since I was born and I use it to cover my head at night. I wash it often. It is tired from being almost 50 years old and the little balls of rolled feathers come out the corners, I just stitch them back up.

I wondered about the buckwheat ones, won't they sound "crunchy"?

If that isn't a viable option, I will go for your feather pillows.

I just got one two days ago and absolutely love it.
