Once it was open and rose to its full shape, I noticed (and loved) the soft, air layer cover, and saw how much body and lift it had. This pillow is definitely not flat, so you can see if it would hold its shape in the night.
Moreover, shredded memory foam is notorious for having a curious smell that won’t go away until you toss the cover in the dryer. Thats pleasantly surprised when I opened it up and didn’t detect any sort of scent. The one downside that noticed right away is the pillow is pretty heavy, making it a bit of a nuisance for storage or moving it around the bedroom.
When you slept on this firm shredded memory foam pillow pillow—testing out a Queen size—you will find the height to be perfect for me. Sometimes memory foam pillows can flatten out, which is the worst-case scenario for a side sleeper like someone. On the flipside, pillows can also be too tall, forcing your neck to lie at a weird angle which can cause stiffness and pain. The best scenario is that sweet spot where the pillow’s height lifts your neck just enough so it cradles the crook of neck and helps the rest of your spine align comfortably. Our body seemed to align really well to the shape and size of the pillow.
