BOLL & BRANCHDown Chamber Pillow - Medium, Standard - Naturally Cooling Shell - Premium Comfort, Superior Support - Cruelty-Free IDS Certified Down

This is a great pillow for side sleepers. I will be buying more of these.

I've spent hundreds over the last year trying to find the perfect pillow (I used to love Hydralux, which apparently has been discontinued) so I decided to try Boll & Branch based on the great reviews of their other products. I ordered the king-size, firm fill and was impressed by the fullness/fluffiness of the pillow. However, it went downhill after that. There was a God-awful smell coming from the pillow...like a barnyard. It literally smelled like farm animals. I realize that this pillow was filled with "organic down", but wow. I let it air out for a few days, but the smell wouldn't relent. I tried to sleep with it for two nights to see if I'd get used to it, but not only did the stench keep me awake all night, but the plump pillow quickly went flat...to the point that it was like resting your head on a concrete slab. I really wanted to love this pillow, especially considering how expensive it was, but it's going back. For the record, I also contacted B&B to inquire about this smell and was told they're aware of it and it's "normal". Ick.

Perfect for me not so soft almost medium
