I’d consider buying the down
I’d consider buying the down alternative to compare with my down pillow, but it did take awhile to receive the pillow and the tracking service was an event in and of itself. I didn’t like having to buy an app to track a pillow when I could simply look at a Fed Ex or UPS tracking and instantly know when it was arriving.
I think that it is a good pillow, and I have been sleeping well with it. I am curious about the alternatives and may consider buying another pillow at a future date. All and all, I would say that it definitely falls into the “buy” category, but pack your patience with the time it takes to receive it.
