Queen Anne Luxury 100% Down Pillow - European White Goose Down - Cruelty Free Hotel Pillows - Made in USA (Standard Medium)

I purchased this for my husband,whose beloved down "poobie" finally died a lumpy death. My research revealed this Queen Anne Pillow would be a good value. He says, after several nights, that it's a "poobie-in-training." Still a little bit too poofy (i.e., not soft) enough. We both think it will squish down soon to his preference. I took off one star because the cover fabric felt a little rough to me, although I can remedy that with the zippered cover I will purchase. I like very, very high quality organic, untreated cotton. However, I may purchase one of these as my own second pillow to replace a synthetic-fill one I use to prop my head when I read in bed. My down pillow is for actual sleeping. By the time my "sleeping" pillow wears out, this one would be just perfectly soft. I haven't washed this new one yet; I wash all down pillows at least once a year, and dry in several cycles of a low heat dryer with clean tennis balls. There are no dry cleaners in my city which clean or launder pillows. I know this cuts down on the life of the pillow, which is one other reason I wanted a good value. UPDATE MAY 5, 2017. This is a follow-up to my original review. I have added one more star, because this pillow only took a week or so to soften up. It's just great for my husband and exactly to his preference for a very soft down pillow. The cover is no big deal when I use soft organic cotton pillowcases. I definitely plan to purchase another one of these for myself very soon.Second Update:// I have just purchased this same pillow for myself. My spouse is still in love with the pillow. I find myself sneaking it when he stays up late reading. I now will have two down pillows and consider myself very fortunate indeed. This is a really good value pillow.

I was looking for a firm pillow when I read the reviews it said this is a firm pillow let me assure you buy far it is not it is like a big bag of cotton balls very disappointed in the description they gave. It's a good pillow but a very soft pillow. All it made me do was waste my time and loose $10 to send it back which I am not happy about.

Sleeping on a Queen Anne Pillow is a fabulous experience. Imagine the feeling of sleeping on the softest and most comforting pillow. Queen Anne is all that a cozy, cuddly and comforting experience. In fact, soft fabrics might be comforting enough to deliver a good night's sleep. A researcher in Korea found that women tossed and turned less in their sleep and reported having slept better when they slept with soft bedding. They also had less adrenaline and noradrenaline—hormones that increase heart rate and blood pressure. A Queen Anne Pillow is the connoisseur of comfort.

I am quite particular with pillows and always on the look out for a high quality pillow, with the hope that it will help with the neck pain I have. I am a side sleeper and bought a normal queen pillow, as suggested by listing. The pillow is of high quality, well made; it arrived without the drying ball and the ‘do not disturb’ hanging sign (as shown the picture). It feels very comfortable around my neck and I enjoyed the first night using it. However, as I continued to use it on second night, I began to feel the pressure from the pillow against my head because it was very firm. This got worse as I continued through my third and fourth nights, so I need to stop using it. I feel it’s way too firm for me. I think I will try the soft version of this and see if that works better for me.

I think I am in love! I have tried every kind of pillow under the sun. I resisted this one for a while because it’s so expensive but I have a herniated disc and my neck is increasingly painful and stiff as a result. I’m a side and stomach sleeper and I’m now at the point where the weight of my own head causes so much pain when I lay on my stomach and put my head on a pillow that I have to find a new position to sleep in. I slept on this pillow last night and it was like sleeping on a cloud. I had about an 80% reduction in pain just because of the softness and support from this pillow. I’m so happy I bought it. Sure, it’s an indulgence but when you’re trying to sleep and pain is an issue, it’s really money well spent. I highly recommend it!

Very disappointing. So, the pillow was nice and soft. HOWEVER, I'm 100% positive that this pillow had been USED and previously returned. There were 2 hairs on the pillow. Upon further investigation of the plastic packaging surrounding the pillow, I noticed a tear where the package was previously opened. It was hard to notice on the initial un-bagging, because a secondary bag was placed over the torn end with sticky around the edges. It had lots of lettering on the bag, so it was hiding the tear. I had carefully unstuck the sticky from the secondary bag when I was un-bagging it. However I only unstuck the "non ripped" side and I didn't notice the tear. But the pillow had rub marks, and the obvious hairs are what prompted me to investigate the packaging. This could easily have had BED BUGS or LICE on it. This is unacceptable that the company would do this. The person returning this, didn't do this. This was obviously the company that placed this "cover up" bag. Very deceiving. Amazon did not fulfill this, but the queen Anne company did. Shame on them.

Have been using Down Pillows for over 45 years and was in need of new. Son & his wife just purchased and recommended Queen Anne, They love them as they helped resolved his sleep problems. I reviewed on Amazon and found price to be within normal range for quality pillows, however was concerned about a couple reviews, such as smell (I have Allergies), size and quality. I purchased King Firm and found them to be absolutely wonderful and comfortable, As for review concerns, I found not even the hint of smell, the size perfectly fits my King Pillow Cases and quality of ticking and stitching are excellent. I would definitely recommend the pillows to anyone who appreciates quality pillow and a good nights sleep. Gary R

I hesitated to buy these pillows due to their high cost--over $120 each. But I had heard of Queen Anne quality all my life, so I purchased two of them to replace two older pillows I had bought for about $25 each. I didn't think to check when I first received them, but later I looked and saw on the pillow labels, "Minimum 80% Down". I could have sworn the item description read 100% goose down. The old, cheaper pillows I had purchased were 75% goose down and cost a mere fraction of these new ones. The pillows are comfortable, I will give them that. But I will pay particular attention to the item description the next time I am shopping for pillows and make a copy of it before placing my order. And the first thing I will check when I receive the items will be the product tag to be sure I receive what was promised.
