There is something wrong with the system to that lists all those "posted as" names. Several of us have seen our usernames on some of those lists, and we have never posted as somebody else. We don't even use the same internet service.

Who would have thought it would be this challenging to sleep and breathe at the same time?

My name is on the above list and I have NO idea what the poster is talking about!

That said, the wife and I have been using a MyPillow for about a month. Fell for the hype. It is not awful, but there are pillows that we have bought at Kohl's for 1/10th the price that are just as good if not better.

I did further testing of the MyPillow and here are the sum total objections:

1. It is always noisy with any head motion. Any head movement and your contact ear will be very annoyed.

2. It conforms so much to the head that it feels like the head is enveloped.

3. It's impossible to make and maintain a path for the air supply. Your head must be at the very edge of the pillow to maintain good mask alignment for most appliances.

4. The sales material indicates one must put it in the dryer once a month for maintenance.

5. The material is not very thermally conductive. You will feel your contact area slowly heat up. A thermal section gun determined that this pillow reached full facial skin temp in under 60 seconds. It feels uncomfortably warm/hot.

6. The owner was fined for false advertising re: the misleading refunds and alleging MyPillow was certified by the National Sleep Foundation.

If anyone disagrees with one or more points, please post. If anyone found that MyPillow was the best pillow they have tried, please post.

Over the years I Have tried more different pillows than I care to count. In my honest opinion there is nothing that can beat a good goose down pillow.

Especially the price.
My allergies were aggravated by sleeping on chicken feathers.
When we butchered fryers, we had a crapload of feathers.
