@ivymae I bought 2 and I actually have 2 Tempur Pedic brand pillows.. I'll figure something out for this price.. even if I have to cut them up to make a sumo suit out of baggy clothes for my 2 year old to throw herself around in.. lol..
Is there a right and a wrong way of using this? I can't find any instructions on it's use. Also, is there a 'front' and 'back' etched on it?? Ahh, it really doesn't matter.. if it don't work out I'll just feed it to my goat.
@boygenius1991@unkabob Actually, based on the picture on the box, the taller side should actually go under your neck, and the shorter side should go closer to the headboard. That has also been what's most comfortable for me in practice.
@PurplePawprints huh! looks like I've been sleeping with my pillow upside down for the last two and a half years. thanks a million, I'll try it out and post how it goes.
@CaptainAssholay Yep. Sell me one crappy pillow, shame on me. Try to sell another crappy pillow, shame on you, Meh. Shame on you... also, stop offering a dozen different varieties of cups and mugs!
@riceatusc I said the same thing and bought two - then went back for one more to max out my order - if I do t like them, they will go to the flea market, Ebay or goodwill
@AnnaB I hate that I bought 2 just now after scouring the internet for reviews and prices... Most reviews give it a year before it stops holding shape.. I'll find a crappy use though.. it'll be a computer chair butt pillow, or maybe a 'have to do work on the ground save-my-knees pillow'
...Sometimes I think I make purchases so I can justify the fact that I pay $5/mo for VMP (66% of Amazon Prime's yearly fee)
I'm in for two - even if they suck, they've gotta be better than the pancake pillows I'm currently suffering with. "exhausted-smart-cottage" sounds like what my retirement home will be called.
@mcemanuel I know! I can't believe they sold out an hour ago. And this is something I need and the first thing I would've bought here since Februrary. Nothing has even been tempting for ages...
Maybe it'll cure you. Just didn't work for me. Got this mystery ENT problem, ever since my last deployment, picked up something in the desert, got an eternally perpetually dry throat. Can't sleep on my back. Feel like I'm choking, wake up coughing. Sleeping on my stomach is wrecking my back, but sleep in on my back is a non-starter.
I bought these for myself and my Mom and they were HORRIBLE! She said she loved it, but I think she just didn't want to tell me otherwise ;) I spend almost $50 for my pillows, but so worth it! My doctors laughed at me for spending so much for a pillow, but it has lowered my pain soooo much! I used to wake up every single morning unable to function until the pain meds kicked in, and the pillow made all the difference. It really is worth it to invest in a good one if you need it (if you aren't sleeping well, or waking up in pain). You spend so much time in bed, it does really make a big difference, and can improve your health in ways you wouldn't expect. I'm passionate about my pillows! lol But seriously, don't spend the $7 (sorry Meh), if you're needing a high quality pillow. If you want an extra, for whatever reason, go for it, that is a great price for cheap pillows, but this is something I feel strongly about, just because of the huge changes a good pillow has made for me.
@Baybay11 I totally agree in theory. But in practice it's really hard to find a good pillow! So how do you find a good pillow? Obviously not on the Internet, I assume?
@Baybay11 I had read your comment expecting you to share what pillow had given you such relief since it sounds like these ones had not. Care to share any helpful info for our listeners here at WMEH?
I have one of these; paid $40 for it 2 years ago. It feels great for about 10 minutes, then squashes flat and is uncomfortable. Bought a new one anyway, for that 10 minutes of comfort.
Pillows are significantly smaller than I expected - they swim around inside a standard pillowcase, which isn't ideal. Despite all that, I love the two that I ordered, though my wife and son have both expressed a dislike bordering on loathing for them. Oh well, more for me.
In for three, one for the husband and each of the kids. I love these types of pillows. I have one that has cutouts on the sides for cpap users. It makes a huge difference in my sleep quality.
How do you activate the Bluetooth?
@mehhead There's no bluetooth in this knife
Will it work with a Mac?
HoMeh don't play dat.
@mike808 You're comment is showing in black and white. :(
In for 2. Pretty sure my old one is 70% mites by now. I'll hand that one down to the kids, because I love them and am good at sharing.
@ivymae I bought 2 and I actually have 2 Tempur Pedic brand pillows..
I'll figure something out for this price..
even if I have to cut them up to make a sumo suit out of baggy clothes for my 2 year old to throw herself around in.. lol..
@gwrankin In for 20 more...
Wow...most of the reviews on Amazon are from 2008. How long have these things been in storage?
@eeterrific since 2008
Is there a right and a wrong way of using this? I can't find any instructions on it's use. Also, is there a 'front' and 'back' etched on it?? Ahh, it really doesn't matter.. if it don't work out I'll just feed it to my goat.
@unkabob you put the taller side at the headboard with the shorter side facing the foot of the bed with the flat side down.
@boygenius1991 @unkabob Actually, based on the picture on the box, the taller side should actually go under your neck, and the shorter side should go closer to the headboard. That has also been what's most comfortable for me in practice.
@PurplePawprints huh! looks like I've been sleeping with my pillow upside down for the last two and a half years. thanks a million, I'll try it out and post how it goes.
@boygenius1991 I'm glad I could help! I hope it works out for you, but I'm sure either way is probably fine depending on comfort.
@PurplePawprints ...Thanks for the info but it looks like it'll be one of those trial and error opportunities.
@PurplePawprints I got a great night's sleep: short end toward the headboard, tall end toward the footboard it is!
@boygenius1991 Great! I'm glad to hear it!
Does it arrive compressed into the shape and density of a brick?
@djslack swan shape, actually, like leftovers.
@MsELizardBeth bawk bawk
I only buy mislabeled "bamboo" pillows that stay hard for two months.
@elpepe If it lasts longer than four hours you're supposed to tell your doctor.
@elpepe Yes but when they fluff up they're great if you like to sleep sitting up
You got me to buy those awful shredded memory foam pillows and they're already in the trash. Not again!
@CaptainAssholay
Yep. Sell me one crappy pillow, shame on me. Try to sell another crappy pillow, shame on you, Meh. Shame on you... also, stop offering a dozen different varieties of cups and mugs!
Not sure about this one...I will have to sleep on it
Go on, Leela... touch the pillowcase. It's real velour.
haunted-awesome-cushion
If you guys send me haunted pillows, we're going to have a real problem. My walls are already bleeding; I don't need this too.
Don't sleep on it!
For $7, why not?
Damn you Meh, you know the price point I will always buy at!
It's not even bluetooth.
sore-defiant-corsair
Most of my purchases from here and not because I need it, but because the price makes me say, "why not"
@riceatusc I said the same thing and bought two - then went back for one more to max out my order - if I do t like them, they will go to the flea market, Ebay or goodwill
@riceatusc Welcome to meh.
Well crap, I already have one of these and I hate it, but I still clicked the buy button. Mehbe I should go to bed before midnight from now on.
Sweet dreams on "meh" pillow -- oh well "meh" be not but at least the pillow will conform to your liking or meh be not ---
No more pillows!
@mcemanuel -
No, more pillows!
@KDemo No more, pillows!
@awk No. More. Pillows!
@awk No pillows? O, REM!
@thekenya Know more pillows.
@mcemanuel no mas almohadas
@KDemo no, mas almohadas
@mcemanuel Those aren't pillows!
@mcemanuel No! More pillows?
I have one of these types. I hate it.
@Nexar Me, too. Have (had, really) and hate.
@AnnaB I hate that I bought 2 just now after scouring the internet for reviews and prices... Most reviews give it a year before it stops holding shape.. I'll find a crappy use though.. it'll be a computer chair butt pillow, or maybe a 'have to do work on the ground save-my-knees pillow'
...Sometimes I think I make purchases so I can justify the fact that I pay $5/mo for VMP (66% of Amazon Prime's yearly fee)
@gwrankin Honestly, if I can get a year out of a pillow, I'm pretty happy.
@Nexar That's why it ended up on Woot!
I'm in for two - even if they suck, they've gotta be better than the pancake pillows I'm currently suffering with. "exhausted-smart-cottage" sounds like what my retirement home will be called.
@Huxley Sounds like a bluetooth-enabled old folk's home.
Prepare east coast whining ...
They sold out because some thought they were speakers.
Over 300 of these pillows sold in less than 3 minutes; doesn't look like they will last long, even with mixed reviews
@mcemanuel
600 in six minutes?!
What's going on here?
@MehnofLaMehncha
Many midnight (ET) meh stalkers, like you and I, may be lying in bed while looking at this deal... $7?! Ortho?! Therapy?! My pillow sucks... BUY!!
Instant-Domino-Bandwagon effect... Not an order # but could be...
It's Saturday night... Alcohol could be effecting many decisions...
1 & 2 in my case...
@mcemanuel I know! I can't believe they sold out an hour ago. And this is something I need and the first thing I would've bought here since Februrary. Nothing has even been tempting for ages...
@Zypher
November for me I think
I stayed up for this and you're selling me a pillow?
Do they have bluetooth?
Wow - these pillows are great! Wish I bought more!
@PSUClaus1 Agreed! I got mine yesterday and I used it last night. It was the best night of sleep I've had in at least a year
@PSUClaus1 After three nights without back/neck pain, I have to agree. The shredded memory foam pillows are now in the 'donate' box.
Wanted to be snarky, but gotta say, lots of chiropractors recommend these. Basically saved my wife's sanity by letting her get some sleep.
But not recommended if you're a big fat guy who snores. Or maybe that's just me.
Great! I'm a BFG who snores, and order has been placed already... where we you seconds ago?
@justinjones41
Maybe it'll cure you. Just didn't work for me. Got this mystery ENT problem, ever since my last deployment, picked up something in the desert, got an eternally perpetually dry throat.

@justinjones41 and @SkyyPunk basically both made the same joke at the same time.

I sure hope this isn't made of eggs!
@jqubed That cracked me up.

@Baybay11 Thanks! In for 3!
@Baybay11 Will you sign my copy of your book?
@Baybay11 I totally agree in theory. But in practice it's really hard to find a good pillow! So how do you find a good pillow? Obviously not on the Internet, I assume?
@Baybay11 I had read your comment expecting you to share what pillow had given you such relief since it sounds like these ones had not. Care to share any helpful info for our listeners here at WMEH?
@Baybay11 I'm confused now
Hate mine
@jmhsrv Then why do you still have it? Shouldn't it be 'hated mine'?
Approaching 1100
Sold in only 30 minutes ... Wonder how many more are left in stock...2000? 3000?
Found-perfunctory-owl. Image to come
I don't think an owl is a good omen for a pillow; they stay awake at night. Therefore:
@OldCatLady Aww, puppies!
@OldCatLady gotta love firemen!
More like Home Dics am I right? Seriously, they should have thought this company name out a little more.
Have one and no longer use it. Lasted about 6 months then would no longer hold shape. Maybe they should put their headphones or speakers in it.
loyal-outlandish-wish
Looking at these reviews, I may have made a small $7 mistake...
@Aractor Better than a BIG $7 mistake.
And they're gone.
Meh. That went quick. Nice to see the Lyrids tribute background, though.
I have one of these; paid $40 for it 2 years ago. It feels great for about 10 minutes, then squashes flat and is uncomfortable. Bought a new one anyway, for that 10 minutes of comfort.
Whoa! A shooting star flew across my screen. I wished i had gotten this deal.
Pillows are significantly smaller than I expected - they swim around inside a standard pillowcase, which isn't ideal. Despite all that, I love the two that I ordered, though my wife and son have both expressed a dislike bordering on loathing for them. Oh well, more for me.

I started to buy one since I missed the last pillows, but it looks like the reviews are really mixed on this...
In for three, one for the husband and each of the kids. I love these types of pillows. I have one that has cutouts on the sides for cpap users. It makes a huge difference in my sleep quality.
Is it just me, or is the meh:sold ratio uncomfortably close right now?
Memory foam pillows are not so useful to us stomach sleepers.
"Or maybe you'll hate it, it's seven bucks, take a chance"
Ok. In for 1.
Do I only need one? I've never owned this kind of pillow before.
@JT954 yes if you sleep alone you only need 1
I already own one of these. They're pretty great. Would recommend to a friend.
I also have a machine washable velour cover.
@cpierce It looks good on you.
I am in for two already. It sounds good to put one under my head and another under my legs that I don't need to worry about the position.
Is it Android-compatible?
Also... WTF, Meh! Us East coasters deserve cheap pillows too!
It'd be nice if those side-sleeper U-shaped pillows became available at Meh... prices
Uh, how come this was so incredibly popular exactly?
@Dizavid everyone stocked up for the awesome pillow fight we're planning.
@Dizavid Some people will buy anything if it's cheap enough.
Wow these pillows are extremely tiny!!
This thing sucks. :( The contour disappears in a few hours.
Just $7 and I still feel robbed. Seriously, this thing is a piece of shit.
Vmp is starting to feel like robbery too. May is over with nothing worth buying but the fuku and something else that was gone in minutes. Meh.
@ponagathos cancel the vmp, if you haven’t used it they will refund it automatically, just add it back when something you want goes up for sale again.
