A lot of references in the reviews for this pillow on other sites to the pillow smelling awful and a couple that mention that the cooling side ruptures and stains pillowcases/sheets.
This looks like the same pillow on amazon - same name so not sure why meh doesn’t list this comparison and instead lists one for a “similar” one. Meh - you might want to sub out your comparison.
It has mixed reviews - apparently stinks for a long time, many find it comfortable, some claim cooling gel does not work, and apparently for some it also leaks. 1137 reviews.
@Kidsandliz thanks for the review link. I ordered 2 sets to replace my current pillows but most reviews said the smell is really bad. I just canceled my orders. Has a mildew/moldy smell. Or someone said it’s what they imagine a zombie would smell like.
@RiotDemon i hadn’t thought of that. I have always presumed the meh price is lower than whatever else is out there and the very few times it wasn’t someone usually points that out almost immediately. I use the meh provided link for reviews of the product since meh is all over the map with product quality.
@Kidsandliz I bought this exact pillow in February of 2016 (looked back in my Amazon purchases to see that… Same 1,137 review product) and I’m currently still using it with no problem. Bought mine for 39.99 so this is an automatic buy for me.
@Kidsandliz They’re being actively deceptive and trying to hide the fact that the pillows have terrible reviews.
However, I’m still in for this deal because all you have to do to fix a bad smell is leave the damn things out somewhere to air out. You’re an idiot if you one-star something for that.
@chloeensiki Of course you can let it air out until the smell goes away (as someone else suggested). A lot of the reviews mentioned it was comfortable.
“Cooling gel” = total BS; your head will heat that gel part up and you’ll wake up with a sweaty head. Anything that blocks air flow (like plastic) will make that pillow uncomfortable. Don’t say you weren’t warned! (Plus, yeah, the plastic stinks, too, and you can’t wash the chemical smell out.) Totally crappy idea. (Based on personal experience.) Worse than meh. Bleh.
The part of me that’s genki says “wow! good-o dearu!”
The part of me that’s a crazed conspiracy theorist with six loaded firearms always within easy reach says “these bastards are really upping their psych warfare game on us…dialing up that light blue background to 11 and then talking about sleep? I just know that they’re planning on making everyone who doesn’t buy these today reflect back on this sale, and remember how badly they slept, and how things might have been different if only they’d have these pillows now. But the joke’s on them, because everyone knows that sleep is how the Shadow People get to you anyway. What was that sound just now?”
Why the FLYING FUCK can we not just have ONE IN EACH STYLE?!
This makes absolutely no sense. Stop being so goddam idiotic, Meh! It’s as easy as just adding a third option. This is asinine.
That said, I have a contour one you guys sold me previously, so I did still buy two standard, but I’d much prefer to have one of each instead all the same.
I probably would not have bought this due to the idiocy of not giving us the simple option to get one in each style, but I just got a new job, so I’m allowing myself some splurged.
@Dizavid I mean logically it could be cause they bought them in two packs. So that’s how they are packed and selling them. Or market research shows they can sell more two at a time. I mean it worked on you. Plus the added bonus of you getting your panties in a twist. Sounds like we all win this way
How many million face pop sockets will you buy to make it worth while to Meh?
Anyway, this is great I may get to wake up like an avatard. That reminds me are we a decade back on Avatar 2 yet? Gotta collect that pool. The chillo is in da(other) house! It’s too bad because good pillows would always be nice right, seriously?
Is there something else I should be using gel pillows for that I didn’t know? If someone can elaborate and that said use were urm well beneficial I might buy these for the “guestroom.”
Pass. Already found my dream pillow: Serta Forever Cool Pillows. Normal shape, perfect firmness, washable cover and don’t smell. They’re cool when I lay down, don’t get really hot and cool back down quickly.

Mmmmm. Sleeping on chemicals all night. Love Monsanto
The reviews are meh on other sites. “Kinda comfortable and not as cooling as expected” is the gist of it
It’s tempting, I might have to sleep on it.
Is this like the Homedics pillows from 2016 except it has a gel on one side?
https://meh.com/forum/topics/homedics-therap-memory-foam-contour-pillow
If so, pass. That pillow was awful.
It’s hard buying a pillow without a test drive.
I recently bought some down pillows. First I’ve owned. I’ll never go back to plastic pillows! Best sleep I’ve had in years.
Apparently there are “firm” and “soft” versions of this pillow. Any idea which one this is?

@kungfuqua consistent with what you report here are the amazon reviews of this pillow

@Kidsandliz If there were 1337 reviews maybe they’d have something

@Dizavid Nah. I leave that term for those who give 1-star reviews for “I ordered the wrong item and it doesn’t fit.”

You need to get some sleep, @ShotgunX - invest in a good quality down pillow, and a comfortable under pillow for when the down squashes down.
@ShotgunX that you Alex?
@ShotgunX You, sir, are a poet.
So, y’all, how many of youse count goats (upside-down or otherwise), instead of sheep?
@phendrick me (now, anyway)
Ah. I had feared that the first night after I canceled my VMP membership you would sell something that I would want.
But no, it’s only solar-powered(?) pillows. Whew, I can sleep peacefully with my decision now.

Still not Meh Face “Pop” Phone Holders. Pass.
Day 106. Stay strong, @deathbynoodlez.
@mike808 my essential PH-1 is cracked now and I really wish I had one of these dammit
@reclaimercube Get a Nokia 6.1. Love it and similar solid metal frame feel and Android One.
@mike808 buy a plain colored one and use a sharpie. Sharpies have a long history on this forum of making speaker docs purple, black, etc.

“These are traditionally used for sleeping.”
Is there something else I should be using gel pillows for that I didn’t know? If someone can elaborate and that said use were urm well beneficial I might buy these for the “guestroom.”

@blndfayth Well, depending on who is using your guest room and how much you like them…
