Review on Oversize Fluffiest Pillows Including Pillowcase by Beverly Smith

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Correct size for Queen memory foam pillow

I wanted to replace my iComfort memory foam pillow because I read that after 5 years most pillows are made up of more dust mites and dead dust mites exist as a pillow. As an allergy sufferer, I thought that was a good idea. I bought queen size memory foam pillows and put them inside the regular size pillowcases. I'm not talking about wedge shaped. They fit perfectly in a normal pillowcase. I'm talking about fluffy rounds. It happened that the pillows are very large and if I put them in normal size pillowcases, they thicken. This made them too hard and they couldn't "let off" enough. I was very frustrated and kept trying different brands of memory foam pillows. Finally, I tried the last pillow in the store to make sure it was comfortable. When I got it home I put it in a regular pillowcase with the same padded result. I wondered why it worked in the store and not at home. Then it dawned on me that the package the pillow came in at the store was hanging around the pillow a lot. So I decided to get a bigger pillowcase. I tried the king size pillowcase first. It was funny because it was over a foot longer than the pillow. Then I bought these pillowcases. A standard queen size pillowcase is 20" x 30". The size of this pillowcase is 22 x 32 inches. These pillowcases turned out to be great for my memory foam pillows. They allow the pillows to sag a bit when I lie on them, unlike a standard pillowcase. This may not seem so bad, but for me as a side sleeper it makes a huge difference. I woke up with a sore jaw because of the pillow that "gave" her less. I need support, but I also need a pillow to move around. They are also very soft and comfortable on my skin, not slippery. It was almost a week for me, but I can't remember sleeping better. It's like working in your own home. If you have the right tools, you can get the job done right. Investing in something that will finally let me sleep well was worth every penny.
