Very comfortable pillow. It's great when you need to be propped up because of you sinus. It cradles your help and keeps you from waking up with a stiff neck. It does have a lavender smell to it; however, it doesn't last long.
The very first thing I noticed when I opened the box was the lavender smell, which caught me off guard at first. The second thing I noticed was how soft the pillow is. It's just the right amount of supportive and doesn't push my head up. It relieved some neck problems for me and though the smell is fading, I've found myself looking forward to the faint lavender smell every night
I bought this pillow for my wife and a gift and she absolutely loves it. We sleep in a constant warm environment and this pillow has helped her keep a bit cooler at nights.
