I have found that people with what I call "high pillow IQ" provide me with the most useful feedback. What I mean is that people who have a personal interest in pillows and have tried a variety of different pillows over the years but still have not found the perfect pillow.

I have finally been able to get the pillow made in a custom quilt that is much thicker and more stable (more quiet, too) than anything in the past.

It is not yet available in the cpap brand pillow but I am trying to get feedback and reviews on a related brand where I am selling the new quilt. It's the same product, despite the branding difference (in other words, it works great with cpap).

If you would like to participate please send me an email: sleepguy@comcast.net

Please explain your experience and interest in pillows and why you want to participate.

I only have a limited supply at this time but the new quilt is a substantial improvement. I can almost guarantee you will love it. Even my harshest product critic (my brother) can't live without this new version. He even took it to Australia on vacation.

I am way excited to hear what people think about it.
Should we assume that if we have sent an email but have not received any reply back at all that we where not chosen? Or does it just mean that the email was missed?

Joe, that's a correct assumption. If you haven't heard from me the trial was already closed or you weren't a good fit. In am probably looking for a few more people in about a week but will also probably set it up so it's not a totally free trial, either. Based on the round I did in April it's really surprising how many people tell me a great story, get a totally free pillow, and then disappear, never to be heard from again.... In the past when I have required at least some level of payment then only truly interested people apply and my feedback response rate is much higher. Lessons learned, again!

So please keep sending me emails. I will collect them for future reference. I especially want people who have used lots of different types of pillows in the past.

Got mine yesterday. Love it! Gave a positive review on Amazon. Thanks! Oh yeah, my youngest cat loves it too. He slept on it all day and tried crawling in the pillow case I put on it. You could branch out to pet beds! Big money in pet accessories.
Morbius, are you bored?

Waiting for my pillow to be delivered. Amazon sent me a message saying it has been shipped.

Got mine and used it for the first time last night. Going to play with the amount of filling a little more tonight, but so far it's great! The new cover is a definite improvement, I think. Much more stable, which was my biggest issue with the old one. I use a bed wedge, and the old one tends to roll itself downhill. The new one stays put better. I think that's important because so many out there have GERD or reflux in general, or with their breathing issues feel more comfortable more upright. Who needs to fight with the pillow to stay put? Memory foam will stay put, but of course you can't adjust it, so at least for me my neck is at the wrong angle with it.

I noted in the poll thread that there seems to be less foam included with this version. I'll hunt up the sheet from the old one to see whether that's actually true or just perception. I think it might need at least an option for more foam, as buckwheat hulls can compact down until they're pretty hard. I've woken up with a sore ear with the old pillow.

I'll use the new one for a week or so so that I have more "street cred" and put my review up on Amazon.

Thanks Bret! Anything else you want to know, I'll be glad to tell you.

Just submitted my review to Amazon. Thanks for letting me be a tester.

Personally, the pillow was too hard for me. But, my husband thinks it is great. (He must have a hard head).

Thanks for the feedback. To improve the comfort factor we are moving to a custom quilt that has been designed just for this pillow after working through many different quilt approaches.

We have a batch of custom quilt from Kansas City and just started making limited quantities to support the Form-Fit brand on Amazon right now until we work through older inventory in the other lines....

So, I am running a new opportunity to get the new pillow if you want to participate. Let me know by email. I don't have that many people with comfort issues so I am interested in your comparison.
