These are polyester gel fiber pillows,
I, too, originally bought these pillows because they supposedly contained “gel” of some sort, and so I had lofty dreams of sleeping on a giant keyboard wrist rest, with my body temperature evening out in the chilly goo inside. Initially I was quite turned off by the discovery that they contained polyester fibers inside and wrote a somewhat scathing review. However, further research on the Internet revealed that these are in fact “polyester gel fiber” pillows. I found several patents that sounded like they could describe these fibers (in truth, I don’t know for sure), but more importantly, I realized that the purpose of these fibers is to mimic goose down while retaining the hypoallergenic properties of poly-fill. Sure enough, I tested the feel of these pillows versus my standard poly-fill pillows, and there is in fact a marked difference. Based on my experiences with goose down, which I generally have liked in European hotels, I am actually suprised to say that once I realized the purpose of the filling, they do in fact mimic down pillows rather effectively. My only complaint at this point is that they are a little underfilled for my personal tastes. The covers are sateen cotton and quite comfortable (although honestly aren’t we all using pillow cases anyway?). Comparing these to other offerings from other companies and retailers, the price is quite low for a polyester gel fiber filled set of pillows. If you like goose down, but cannot enjoy the softness due to allergies, or don’t like the stiff feather backbones of cheaper down pillows, then this is a right-priced and hypoallergenic alternative.

|Comparable to down …,
I bought these to replace a couple of down pillows I had that were getting old and rather shabby.
These have the same *feeling* as down, but are heavier (weight). They plump up very nicely, and provide the same support as a medium-firm down pillow. If you have allergies, these are ideal.
I’m really sold on them — in fact, I’m getting ready to order 4 more. I just wish they came in Queen size.

**Updated Review**
The construction of these pillows changed since my original purchase and review. I loved the first set and came back to order more. Over a period of just a couple months, the filling spread to the sides, which left a valley in the middle of the pillow. To get my head elevated, I had to fold mine in half. I don’t know if the company changed the type of filling, or if less is being used, but I won’t buy these again and no longer recommend them. I’m still experimenting and haven’t found a new pillow I love, but I will update this with a link when I do. Please comment if you have a fav to recommend.
Original Review:
Did you catch the Oprah show where she berates a relative for having not replaced some gross guest room pillows in years? Well, I’m not that relative, but I did decide to follow suit and order new pillows for our guest room. These pillows seemed more than adequate for periodic guests.
When they arrived, I was impressed and thought that they looked much higher quality than I expected for the price. I decided to try them out in our master bedroom.
After one night, we were sold and tossed out our old pillows. I had to come back and order another set for guests. At less than $10 a pillow, even if they only last a year, I am happy with this purchase.
