Soft and cooling, heavy

At first, I wasn't sure I'd like it because it was so different from what I normally like. I normally prefer a pillow with no real form, down-filled, something that can be manipulated to the position I want without fighting against me to spring back into shape. The Ghost pillow doesn't really fit that description in that it's kind of like a big flat squishy cold memory foam brick. The odd thing is that it doesn't fight to go back to its preferred shape. I'm a stomach/side sleeper, and it supports that position well, but I've also noticed that it's helped me to begin back-sleeping more comfortably too. I can't really explain why. If you keep contact with i all night, it isn't "cooling" by itself, it is cold to the touch initially, but it will gradually warm up as it keeps contact with a warm body. The one negative I can say is the smell initially. My wife says it smelled like lavender, but it was really strong for a few days, then subsided.
I would happily have given the pillow 5 stars except for one thing-the smell of lavender the pillow is permeated with is EXTREMELY strong and has not disapated in the time I have owned the pillow. The pillow is pretty much perfect otherwise. Those sensitive to perfumes or strong odors will have issues with this pillow unless an unscented version is made available.
We were always skeptical of paying so much for 1 pillow when you can get cheaper ones and buy multiple. This is seriously the only pillow you will ever need. Now instead of having 6-7 on our bed, we have 2!
The pillows are like air without any support. The mattress doesn't feel like it will last or very suppprtive. The foundation is cheap quality made of wood with a fabric covering it. Not happy. Trying to return all.
I was so happy when I got my Ghost Pillow. Sadly I used it for about a week then I had too just give it up. I would get up with an aching neck and shoulders. Pillows aren't one fits all. The ghost pillow didn't work for me, but don't let my experience deter you. I gave the pillow to my brother, and it worked for him. It is a good quality pillow just buy it knowing it might not work for you.
