every expectation i had was exceeded. after almost 5 yrs of nightly use (and often enuff on daytime too) almost not worn out at all and still smooth as a peach. the only 1 thing i didnt like much is that the zipper is too short, making it a hassle to get the filling out and in for washing purpose.

(u can delete this last part after approving, would be nice if u can put the info on how to wash the filling/pillow since mine bleached out and i cant read it anymore)
