Coop Home Goods - Toddler Pillow (14x19) - Hypoallergenic Cross-Cut Memory Foam... :
Okay, first of all, who knew there was such a thing as a Toddler Pillow!?! And, that it would be perfect for me?!! This is a perfect pillow for several reasons: (EDITED under #5)
1) I sleep in a hammock so regular pillows are WAY too big. This is a perfect size.
2) It is adjustable! That means it has zipper access to the stuffing so if it's too firm or too high, take some stuffing out and it will be better. If you need more than what comes in it, maybe go to a bigger pillow. This one comes stuffed pretty full. In fact, I can't imagine a toddler being able to get its head on it comfortably, but then, I never imagined there was such a thing as a toddler pillow. :-D
3) Important to know about washing this thing; I washed mine and good Lord did it take on water!! This is full of little sponges and it soaks up and holds onto water like I've never seen, and I have other Memory Foam pillows that I wash. This thing was so heavy with water I thought with all the noise my machines were making that they were coming out of the closet to get me!! :-D Make sure you put at least two pillows in the washer to balance this water bomb.
4) Also important: Per manufacturer's instructions, I had this in the dryer for about two and a half hours. I was excited to try it out, but because of the fluffiness from all that time in the dryer, the pillow was pushing my head up higher than I wanted. So I got up to remove some of the stuffing. That's where I got the big surprise - the inner stuffing was still very wet!! It is so tightly packed in there that the inside stuff never stood a chance at drying. If you are worried about mold or even that much moisture under your toddler's head, take heed and get yourself a mesh bag to put all the stuffing in when you dry it. Or, do like I did and just pull it all out and put it in boxes under a ceiling fan all night. I am ordering a mesh bag for the next wash!
5) Finally, why only 4 stars? The zipper*! Poor design! Why would you skimp there??? The way this zipper is designed, the pull pulls the back of the zipper. I know! Right? What that means is that when you use the zipper pull to try to close the zipper, you are forcing the leading edge of the zipper downward. That, coupled with the significant spread of the teeth make it impossible to re-zip. Opening it is easy. Remember, you're pulling on the back side of it. Closing it is the problem. I found that using hemostats on the front part of the zipper (or needle nose pliers or the like) works well and it zips easily. That's because you're pulling on the business part (leading edge) of the zipper. That seems kind of important and like a pretty big oversight to me. Not a deal breaker because for such a pillow, I am willing to fuss a little.
-------------------------------------
EDIT*: I HAVE MADE A MISTAKE. I changed the rating from 4 to 5 stars because the pillow itself has a "regular" YKK locking zipper which pulls properly. The zipper I called into question is on a COOP HOME GOODS pillow CASE. That's what was giving me fits. Not the zipper on the actual pillow. I noticed this last night when I went to add a little bit of stuffing back in. (very nice feature!) (I have left the original review in tact for transparency but have upgraded the rating to 5 stars.)
-------------------------------------
So, I just re-stuffed it to what feels right and I still have enough stuff left over for another pillow!!
All things considered, this is a great pillow. It will pack down smaller than the camp pillows I've been using for travel. Fits beautifully in a hammock. Light weight. Lighter than the camp pillows.
OH! and just to mention, it did have a very faint odor when I first opened it, but it is gone now. That is not unexpected.
