Overtaking Scent

Contrary to the claims on the FAQ site, this pillow has an overwhelming smell. It took over the bedroom. I bought two pillows and I woke up the first night with both pillows on the floor trying to escape the smell. It gave me a headache. I am not one of those people who gives really bad reviews. I am happy with almost anything, but this is just not tolerable. When I contacted the staff, they were super friendly and provided recommendation to eliminate the odor, but it has been weeks and the oder is still there. I washed the covers, ran the pillows in the dryer with no heat...squished the pillows daily for weeks and still too much to sleep on. The pillow actually seems comfortable and I sat on them a few times trying to get the smell out and they actually were a bit cooling - so if it didn't;t have the scent I would probably rate 5 stars. I would send them back, but the shipping that I apparently have to pay would be almost as much as the pillows cost me, so I guess I am stuck with them. I am hoping that after another six weeks they may be OK to put in the bedroom without being overtaken by the smell...sorry, I REALLY wanted to love this pillow.
That pillow is so very soft and comfortable. My wife normall has to sleep with up to 3 pillows to make it soft enough for herself. Just one Ghostpillow though and she's set for the night.
I've been trying for a few years to find the right pillow for me. So far it has always been 2 small pillow stacked. I've even tried the purple pillow but didn't really like it. I've been using it for about a month and I'm very pleased with it. Didn't even have problem sleeping on the first night, and finally I don't need 2 awkward pillows anymore.
We all do something to signal our brains that we are going to sleep now. I used to have to fold my old pillow in half and turn on my left side and checkout--no more of that! This pillow feels very soft but is also VERY supportive. I'm ready as soon as I touch down. I take it everywhere, and can't sleep without it.
We purchased a queen GhostBed because our old Sleep Number bed just wasn't cutting it anymore. My wife woke up every morning with a very painful backache and I often woke up many times each night. First night with the GhostBed was pretty good for both of us. Second night the better half was happy as could be while I had had some issues (nothing serious). By the third night both of us were sleeping through the night and waking refreshed and ready for the new day. Something not that easy for a couple of senior citizens. Also, I can't say enough about the people at GhostBed. I had occasion to use the "CHAT" feature twice and both times they listened and did exactly what they said they would. My experience both with the product and the people at GhostBed has been top notch every step of the way.
I have the worst luck with pillows! They never keep their shape, and I hate overly fluffy pillows because I don't like my neck to bend that much in my sleep. The GhostPillow is actually perfect. It is the perfect size, not overwhelming, but enough to give support, and it never loses shape! The gel just fills back in when I get up in the mornings. Make sure to air them out for about 24 hours though, mine came with a bit of an odor. They do have a fresh scent that fades over time, but the "warehouse" odor does go away in 24 hours.
