Emma Original Pillow I Memory Foam Pillow I 70x40 cm I Hypo-allergenic, Breathable, Adjustable Height, Washable Covers

This is a firm pillow of a standard (UK) size so your pillow cases will probably fit fine. It’s firm, not solid but definitely on the former end of the scale. One side is slightly (but easy to notice) softer than the other so you can pick, almost fine-tune, to suit your taste. It’s not super thick but being firm this doesn’t matter so much as you’re not losing height by compressing it instantly. It suits me well as I’m a back and side sleeper, so if it were any thicker I’d struggle with back sleeping. The memory foam is responsive, so adjusting your position is always supportive - you won’t be resting on an already flattened pillow, it’ll be as thick as it can be and will ping back into shape quickly. From removing it from the vacuum packed (and rolled) box, it took circa. 12-hours to be at a useable thickness, but it grew slightly more the following day so give it 24-hours if you can. There is a slight smell at first, which would also benefit from a 24-hour period to breathe. Overall I’m very pleased. This replaced a Simba pillow which was an incredibly clever thing and a godsend in the heat, but is way too soft for my taste. At a third of the price, this pillow is a bargain and suits my taste better.

The pillow was delivered in a box and was curled up inside a plastic bag. After removing the pillow from its packaging, I left it for a few hours to decompress. I love this pillow. The instant I lay my head on it, I could tell I was going to sleep well - and I was right. For my preference, it is perfectly balanced between firmness and comfort. Previously, I was experiencing some shoulder discomfort sleeping on my side; the Emma pillow allows me to lay sideways and ensures that my head doesn't sink all the way into the pillow. My shoulders seem to drop naturally, allowing me to sleep without any discomfort whatsoever. I'm only day three into using it, feel so impressed that I wanted to leave a review with my immediate reaction.

This pillow is quite firm but has definitely helped my sore neck it’s not a miracle cure but it’s helped get a better sleep so I’d recommend.the only downside is the awful smell from the pillow it’s got a really musty damp smell which is going away but it’s still strong after nearly a week!!! I’ve had it outside on the line for hours every day .

Was comfy at the beginning but it kept getting firmer till it had no cushion at all; you might as well put a concrete slab on your bed as a pillow. I opened a return to find I had to pay for the "free" return to another country which was £12 at it's cheapest. Never got a refund, I have contacted amazon multiple times to get my money back to be told I'll hear back in a couple of days but I never did. I sent in proof of postage & receipt but that's not enough evidence apparently. Bad seller, bad product, and disappointed in amazon not being able to do anything about it.

This pillow certainly won't be for everybody. Despite being rated as one of the most comfortable pillows you can buy, it lacks a wow factor. It arrives compressed in a box, so it may take a day or two until it fully expands. It consists of three separate layers, 2 memory foam, and a cheaper foam filling. You can remove these to adjust the height, though this in itself is a little on the fiddly side. You certainly don't have to fluff this pillow up, as it appears to contain its shape, no matter what. But it's not exactly super comfortable, especially during the first week of use. It has a distinctive smell, which will take time to dispel, and its firmness and height may not be to everybody's taste, though of course you can adjust this. I bought mine at £40, which is a big discount on its original price, but even at that price I think is still expensive for what it is. Would I recommend this pillow? If it cost no more than £20-£30, I would, but at £40 or more, I think it's to expensive for what is essentially just a couple layers of memory foam stuffed inside a pillowcase.

This pillow is brilliant and so comfortable but only when I removed the middle layer leaving the 2 layers that create like a triangle on the sides. If you sleep on your back I believe having all 3 layers would b ideal for you, however if you sleep on your side or front like I do just 2 layers is perfect.l especially if you sleep with your arm under the pillow like i do. I can't say I've ever had a better sleep. My first night was terrible when I tried all 3 layers but the night after and for the past 2 weeks I've had the best sleep ever with 2 layers.

what a lovely pillow and have really improved my sleep and neck ache is gone

Have been using those pillows for about a month. Can confirm that I sleep much better. They are a bit firm but comfortable the same time. Pillows give a great support to the head and neck. Keep the head cool. Perfect size for a standard pillow case. Can definitely recommend.
