Based on other reviews, I thought this pillow was going to be something I was looking for. However, one review complained that it was too full to be a soft density pillow. However, that was the reason I decided to make the purchase, and I am VERY glad I did! It is exactly what I was looking for in a soft pillow, and I have no complaints. There is no smell to the pillow, it is soft but still provides the minor amount of support I was looking for and I have no complaints about the pillow being noisy or feathers sticking out of the pillow. I'm a fairly skinny guy ~150 lbs. and I am definitely a back sleeper. My only complaint is that I didn't purchase the 2 pack of pillows to get the discounted price.
