Delivery of my bed was quck and setup was easy. This bed is way too firm for me; not enough give to allow my body to feel comfortable. I sleep in a lot of positions but mostly on my side, and this position put too much pressure on y shoulders and caused pain between my shoulder blades. The pillows are very nice, but too soft to provide the support I needed.
Has a strong lavender scent and isn't soft enough for me

When the pillows arrived I noticed a pretty strong smell. I couldn't place the smell at first but the company says it's a lavender scent. It was too strong for me. I washed the outer cover and let the pillows air out for a good week. I am the type of person who is sensitive to odors so it bothered me more than it did my fiancé. He likes his pillow and it's the only one he uses. He likes a firm pillow and isn't sensitive to smells. I was really disappointed as I was so excited to have my new pillow. It's been about a month now and I have 4 pillow cases on the pillow and I use it as a support pillow underneath my softer pillow. I really wish Ghost didn't use a scent on something people are going to put their head directly on. If you are sensitive to odors/perfumes this pillow won't work for you.
I've used a few different pillows over the years. Most recently, and for several years, I used a water pillow. I loved it. Though, at times, it seemed too firm, I had no issues its weight or comfort level. However, for a couple reasons, it was time for a new pillow. We've been on a Ghostbed mattress since January, 2016 and we love it. It's one of the best mattresses we've ever used. So, it made sense to get a GhostPillow. I'm so glad we did! The pillow is the perfect size and weight. It's not too firm or too soft. It's a little slow to regain its form but, I suppose there is a slight restriction on airflow because I put a zippered pillow protector on it to keep my greasy head from ruining it.
I also have had issues with neck and back pain. Before the Ghostbed mattress, I frequently woke up with both shoulder, neck, and back pain. Before the new GhostPillow, I would occasionally wake in the morning with neck pain or wake up in the middle of the night sweating through the pillow case. Since I've been using the GhostPillow, I haven't had any issues with neck pain and it cools very well.
I love these pillows. They are super comfy, and not as clunky and heavy as other memory foam pillows. I don't love the lavender scent it has, but the smell is going away. I bought 4 of them.
