@jsh139 This style pillow is great for a side sleeper. I’ve got one just like this without the gel. In the picture above, Santa’s actually sleeping on the side-sleeper side of the pillow. The larger bump is to help support your neck. A back sleeper is supposedly more more comfortable on the tapered end.
@ELUNO “plush and supportive, a little on the firm side, softening over time”. I call Pants On Fire, Meh employees. And I bought the second batch that were supposed to be better.
I believe I found this on Amazon. The one review said…
" I followed the instructions and plugged it into my computer, laid my head on it and before I knew it my hair was a raging inferno. I would not recommend this product for anyone who does not have a USB port built into their head."
Since I use blutooth rather than USB ports, I’m gonna pass.
As a blonde person with long flowing hair, what I rest my head on is very important to me. Recently while camping I had a disaster with my tent and was wandering in the woods when I came upon a cabin. As it was getting late I let myself in and looked for a place to rest. The first room had some bamboo covered shredded memory foam filled pillows, and they were far to hard… so I made my way to the next room where they had bamboo covered shredded memory foam filled pillows that were just a bit too soft after I un-bunched the shredded memory foam bits. I made my way into the last room I found one of these Contour Rest 3-in-1 Insta Cool Standard Gel Pillow and they were just right!!!
The next morning I was arrested for trespass but before they took me away, one of the large burly legal residents of the cabin told me about these wonderful Beautyko pillows, thanks again your hairy saint!!!
In for 4 in king and of course I got VMP it’s the cool way to ship.
Meh, IKEA pillows, $5.99, comfortable and replace them often so as not to give the dust mites, or any other critters that crawl in there, a chance. Washable in hot water, too, just in case you’re a mite masochist.
My wife bought one of these from bed bath and beyond. (I keep wanting to call it linens and things though.) it wasn’t $40… $40 would be a hell of a sale from them. I just hope it’s about the same quality as her pillow is awesome! I’m currently still using a bamboo from round 1 which works but takes a bit to arrange nightly.
I like the idea of proper posture while sleeping. But I’m taking a risk with this pillow as I know nothing about this particular one apart from the meh write-up.
I really want to buy this to replace my 20 year old memory foam pillow but I bought those petrified bamboo ones a while back. I can’t keep buying pillows so I threw the rocks in the dryer with wool dryer balls to pummel them into submission. It seems to have worked as it’s about 50% softer. I’ll take on nap on it later to confirm.
In for two but might be a big mistake. After ordering I realized how small they are (19in x 11in) compared to a standard pillow (20in x 26in) and read these not so cool reviews: https://www.groupon.com/deals/gg-contour-rest-3-in-1-insta-cool-gel-pillow
Of course I only sleep on the edge of my pillow so size may not matter in this (pillow) case. I’m not going to lose any sleep over them.
Then there is this review:

It’s too big for my arms. It said and looked like it was going to be tight and then stretch over your arm and compress it. However, it was way too big. I could fit both my arms in it and still had room left over. I’m going to throw my sewing machine at it and see if that doesn’t make it smaller.
Great pillow, except for the size. Can’t find a pillow case small enough. Should be labeled as a kids’ pillow. Oh well, a Hamilton-and-a-half down the drain as a learning experience.
Okay, so I absolutely love this thing. That gel layer really does make the back of your head stay totally cool. With this pillow, I can actually sleep very comfortably on my back. I don’t have to side sleep almost all the time now. I did wind up side sleeping on it inadvertently a time or two, and it was still okay for that, but if I really feel the need to side sleep, I tent to shove it aside and go for my regular goose feather pillow. But most of the times I’ve slept since getting this thing, I’ve just slept on it lying on my back.
I have been using it to elevate my foot as the top pillow in the stack, and it’s very comfortable. The one I got for the cat has been mostly rejected. She will sit next to it, but not on it.

Meh Cool pillow - so ( the) rest is history – the original (Santa) clause in this deal tonight.
@AttyVette It is pretty chill.
FedEx SmartPost: Wednesday, October 5th - Monday, October 10th
Smart post? Do I have to plug it in every night?
I’ll sleep on it
@jml326
Baby, baby …
I’ll give you my reply in the morning!
@MehnofLaMehncha I gotta know right now!!!
I guess I’m the only person who liked the bamboo pillows.
@lljk I liked 'em too
mine got thrown up on
@lljk My mom likes them. Then again she was going from some 8+ year old pillow with hardly any support.
@lljk yeah, my pillows were like rocks when I got them. silly rabbits! you gotta fluff them before they get nice. Now, they are awesome.
@lljk I love my “bamboo” pillows.
@lljk I has a bamboo pillow the only thing I don’t like is this a silica gel packet in it and you can hear it rattling around !
Looks like it would be uncomfortable for side and stomach sleepers.
@jsh139
You won’t find a back doctor who recommends side or stomach sleeping
And I say that as a side and stomach sleeper
@MehnofLaMehncha I recommend side or stomach sleeping. And I say that as a back doctor.
@warpedrotors long live side sleeping.
@jsh139 This style pillow is great for a side sleeper. I’ve got one just like this without the gel. In the picture above, Santa’s actually sleeping on the side-sleeper side of the pillow. The larger bump is to help support your neck. A back sleeper is supposedly more more comfortable on the tapered end.
@MehnofLaMehncha I’m surprised to hear that. I’ve always heard that sleeping on your side was the best position for your spine??
@warpedrotors I recommend side-sleeping, and I say that as a side-sleeper.
@jsh139 How do any of these people stay in one position all night? I’m surprised when I don’t wake up under the bed.
@devolve Haha, I know what you mean. I’m all over the place, too.
Will using this make my eyes sparkle too?
No way, I will never trust your taste in pillows again. (Owner of two bags of cement.)
@sammydog01 weighing heavy on your decision tonight?
@AttyVette
Slam!
@sammydog01 soaked in kerosene, and set afire- they make the most awesome signal fire ever. the smoke plume can be seen for miles
@sammydog01 First thing I thought of. I do need new pillows because the bags of cement are unusable, but I won’t be buying them from meh…
@sammydog01 try fluffing those bags with Vigor. Not vinegar.
@ELUNO “plush and supportive, a little on the firm side, softening over time”. I call Pants On Fire, Meh employees. And I bought the second batch that were supposed to be better.
Oh gosh if it is anything like this one many moons ago:
No thank you! Currently use that one for extra cushion on my computer chair. Do not need my ass to be freezing!
@lilsrm123 Nothing like that one. This one is super soft. If you like that kind of thing.
Dude. @irk Ioved that video!
@nickm461
Boston Market, how does that work?
@travo
That is genuinely weird
I think it’s random bullshit, just seeing if anyone is paying attention
@travo Its all those chickens…
The same way 480p screenshots do.
I’m curious how these compare with the genuine Tempurpedic memory foam pillows that I have, so
/buy -q 1
@baqui63 It worked! Your order number is: patient-unknowing-needle
/image patient unknowing needle
@mediocrebot Well…
er…
ok then.
I guess,
Thanks?
@mediocrebot I hate it when that happens!
@mediocrebot yikes em
If the patient unknowingly swallowed the needle, then how do they know it was TWO days back?
Maybe it was last week, or three days back.
How do they know it was two days if the patient had unknowingly ingested it, hmmmm?
These are the things that keep insomnia strong.
Meh should send me a truckload of these for free to make up for the permanent neck damage I suffered as a result of the last pillow deal.
I believe I found this on Amazon. The one review said…

@eeterrific You notice it also says, “No refrigeration or snowman cuddles required”
Wahhhhh - bring back the fluffy 2 packs of pillows. Please? I’ve been waiting for like 26 Tuesday’s.
@alexthegirl Yes I have been waiting for these too. The ones I bought originally need replacing and I want the same pair again as I loved them.
Can’t believe this piece of shit item is my first meh purchase in like a year. But I really need a new pillow. And $20 is my magic no.
My Meh button streak broke! I’m reasonably sure I didn’t miss the last two days. Now I can stare at 609 forever.

Why is that Santa not the last picture? Sheesh… Give me a moment to work up to the weird photo, ok?
These need to be aired out for months due to the overpowering fumes. Very Meh price,
Will these pillows absorb odors? I ask as the owner of a puppy who has a penchant for defecting on pillows. (The puppy, not me.)
/giphy puppy poop
@rv617 I can’t stop staring. Why can’t i stop staring?
@rv617 Defecting? Sounds like your puppy may be defecative.
@warpedrotors Damn autocorrect!!!

@rv617 a Cuban puppy? Does he also play shortstop?
Not falling for this crapola, bought the last beautyko rock hard dual set, thought I would never wake up from that nightmare.

If you have a Coscto membeship, they have a 2-pk Frost pillows for 29.99 and I heard those are good.
It seems this product matched perfectly with the “The Good Night I’m Going to Bed Thread” thread I started.
Meh, IKEA pillows, $5.99, comfortable and replace them often so as not to give the dust mites, or any other critters that crawl in there, a chance. Washable in hot water, too, just in case you’re a mite masochist.
You had me at “cooling”.
Does the gel ooze out if you are too vigorous? I was actually wondering if I could cut one down to fit as extra padding in the recliner.
@azdarkknight Looking at the size of these, there’s no need to cut it down. A standard pillow is 20 x 26, this is only 19in x 11in.
@callow Thanks, I was thinking about one for the wheelchair too that would need a couple of inches off… might risk it anyway
My wife bought one of these from bed bath and beyond. (I keep wanting to call it linens and things though.) it wasn’t $40… $40 would be a hell of a sale from them. I just hope it’s about the same quality as her pillow is awesome! I’m currently still using a bamboo from round 1 which works but takes a bit to arrange nightly.

@actswartz So if they are so comfortable, why is everyone in the photos sleeping with a hand between the pillow and their head?
No pillowcase??? Santa does have his hand there. Maybe he is being naughty
@actswartz Removable/washable cover

Man you guys finally have something I need and you wait until I’m driving cross-country to unveil it. Thanks a lot. You gets get a big fat MEH!!1!
Ha!!! My turn to laugh and gloat. I got two!!! Have fun burning down Rome you electric lighter living pyros, I’m snagging a nap, chill as a cucumber
Anyone else get the Dick’s Last Resort vibes here at Meh? I’ve never been there but I imagine it’s kind of like this
I’ve got on of these pillows sitting on the floor by the tv cabinet because I don’t like it
What have you all done… you know this means every time they get something they can’t move they will trot out the kitties right?
Great pillow, except for the size. Can’t find a pillow case small enough. Should be labeled as a kids’ pillow. Oh well, a Hamilton-and-a-half down the drain as a learning experience.

My son stole my first contour pillow, my daughter stole this one from me… and yet, they all complain that I snore…
