Are the little non circular chunks out of my foam normal? Did anyone else receive their pillow with what looked like tiny bites out of it?

That definitely does not sound normal. There were no foam bits anywhere on mine when I got it almost 2 years ago. Have used it every night since and you'd never know that it's not a brand new pillow. If there are foam chunks coming from the pillow you should return for exchange or refund.

No. That is not normal. I've had my pillow for 1yr and 9mths and it's still as solid and comfortable as the day I got it.

I had them. I believe its the manufacturing process/quality issues wherein sometimes the pillow doesn't come out with clean contours. I had very few of these and again these didn't impede the feel of the pillows. As long as it doesn't affect the aesthetics and functionality I was ok with it. I believe its your call on what you see.

No, that is not normal!!! It should be very smooth and a cover on it as well.

This does not sound normal. The surface should be fairly smooth. This could mean that the molding process was incomplete or some abrasion took place during handling.

For this particular pillow, I thought that it only came in soft. Does yours look like the one pictured? Yours should feel like a memory foam. If not, or if you just don't like it, then I'd look into returning/exchanging it. Good luck!

WASH IT??? What I got looked like a giant postage stamp. It was NOT a body pillow at all. It was a nightmare. It camestuffed in a box and flat as a pan cake. I think if it were to be washed, it would shrink and become nearly invisible

Our package looked different so it's possible it has changed since, but ours is a square-ish shape with scalloped/rounded edges and indentations down the length of the pillow. Not sure if that's a helpful description but I tried! :)

Mine started out quite fluffy. I have had it about six months. It still is comfortable, but I wonder if some shells have broken into smaller pieces. There is more space in the pillow.

Can anyone share any recent experiences with the packaging? One customer image shows foam lining, while another one shows only air pillows. Those images were uploaded on May/June though.

I have used Homedics Sqush pillows for several years. I sleep with one nightly. I have found that after a while of using the pillow, about one third of them leak the microbeads. I just stitch up the seam if possible, which is normally the area of leakage.

It took me some time to adjust to my new pillow I hope you can too. My very old pillow was really flat, I had issues also. I don't find it too thick now.

Monica, I agree. The pillow is flat in the middle and no matter how much you plump it, it's back that way again in the middle of the night. It's not at all like the one I had at the hotel. Very disappointed!!

Hi Becky. Well, for myself I just kind of pick up the pillow & shake it this way & that. Fluffs it up-also do this as I make bed in morning. I've also found that, while still lying with my head on pillow I can reach under at my neck & pull toward me & it puffs it up right at my neck (hmm. hard to explain). I've found this pillow to be better than other foam pillow I had & my husband says it's way more comfortable than his feather pillow. He's sleeping longer thru the night, too. Hope that helps a bit.

I just waited 24 hours and then put the pillow protector and the pillowcase, mine wasn't that smelly. And trust me I smell like dogs do! Maybe You should rubber it with softener sheets

Nope...mine stayed in perfect condition! I wonder if it is caused my water damage? It's basically just memory foam...and I know sometimes memory foam acts weird if exposed to excessive amounts of water.

I have several of the name brand "Squish" pillows that I have thrown into the washer on gentle and dried on the lowest setting and they turned out fine. They are made with the same filling. I bought the filling to make a pillow for my cat and will wash it when needed. Hope this helps!

I can't sleep without microbead pillows and I ALWAYS wash them in the washer and dry them in the dryer. Dry them a little longer though. It probably does cut the "life" of the pillow because once it gets a hole, it needs to be tossed. But I ALWAYS wash my microbead pillows and only have had one get a hole in it. :)

As in the picture it has an slightly unusual shape. It looks like someone took a rectangular block of foam (about 5" X 5" x 12" long) and twisted it slightly around the long axis. I use it most evenings when watching TV. It supports my head and neck well. The best part for me is that my neck does not get hot as when a pillow wraps tightly around my neck.

Jean M. The pillow leaked immediately upon filling it. We never had the opportunity to use it as it became soaking wet on the opposite side of where you fill it as we were filling it. I hope this makes sense. We have a friend who has several of these pillows and has never had an issue. This was our first pillow and it will be our last too. The whole return process is becoming frustrating.

I purchase a smaller contain some months back from a different supplier and it did not have lumps in it. I believe is should have been a smoother product. However, onces I cupped the product in my hands, my body temperature melted the product and it was ok. I did not notice a hole in the bottom of the product I purchased but I will look at it this evening.
