Cushie Pillows7 inches x 12 inches Microbead Bolster Squishy/Flexible/Extremely Comfortable Roll Pillow - Brown

I've had one of these pillows for ages, in fact it was getting to look quite disgusting over the years. But I had been trying to replace it with the exact same thing for a long time, with no success. I was so happy when I found the Microbead Cushie Roll Pillow advertised on Amazon.com in the same size and color as my previous one. I am a side sleeper and, because of a physical disability, remain in the same position the entire night. These pillows were the absolutely perfect solution to the joint achiness, irritations and pressure points, and muscle pain and discomfort that I was experiencing in the morning. The cover is ultra soft against the skin which eliminates the friction which can cause sores because of remaining in the same position over time. It is also somewhat stretchable over time, which can come in handy for easy positioning and re-positioning. The microbead filling provides an ideal "mold-able" support which allows it to contour to your body to reduce numbness, awkward positions, and unnecessary muscle stretching or flexing. I primarily use it to provide comfort and support for my arm. But I have also used it (them) for propping and supporting my neck, knees, and feet on several different occasions following surgery and hospitalizations. They are amazing, and would be beneficial to anyone (especially someone with limited mobility) and you would probably want to have more than just one! The only downfall is that they cannot be washed, only spot cleaned. But I promise that you will love them so much, that you will continue to use them no matter what they start to look like (would Linus ever depart from his trusty blanket?!). I did some price comparisons and these were easily the best price. Plus I didn't even have to pay shipping. They were delivered within a few days of my ordering them. I am extremely happy with the purchase!!!

The media could not be loaded. I bought this to “hug” while I sleep. It’s a perfect size and has a good amount of firmness and softness. I will say there was a slight smell that dissipated in about 24 hours.

This pillow has the perfect amount of squish to it. Works great in any environment- couch, bed, car.

I bought this pillow following surgery, to provide support to my leg, which needed to remain elevated at night. The pillow flattens out a bit more than I was hoping, but it does provide support and separation between the two legs when sleeping on my side. As others before me indicated, the pillow has a very strong chemical smell, especially when new. I would imagine this is a deal breaker for many, especially if using near their face, where the smell would be more apparent. The smell has dissipated quite a bit over time, but is still there, albeit faintly. I now use it to provide support to my neck while reading in bed, and find it quite comfortable. The smell is not strong enough anymore to be an issue.

When I met my husband, years ago, he seemed normal. He had a nice apartment with NO decorations. His couch, that he had purchased on Craigslist, had a black couch cover over the literal ugliest designed couch ever. His love seat did not have that luxury - it was just ugly. His large (perfect) dogs had made homes on these couches and therefore they were saggy and sad. He had a Walmart plastic entertainment center. His bedroom had a bed (mattress, box spring, rails) and one of those clear plastic drawer things. His sheets were black and his comforter was gray and black. That was it folks. Besides the hundreds of dollars in video game equipment, computers, guns, tools and adult movies, this was the bulk of everything in his place. Typical bachelor pad. As time progress and we spent more time together, I eventually spent the night. That night, as I laid down on the rough sheets and cheap, thin pillows, I wondered how he was comfortable. Then, I saw him pull out the answer. He had a little blue pillow tucked under his other pillow that he affectionately called "Blue Squishy". Blue Squishy had been purchased years prior at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. It was a microbead pillow and he had used the bejesus out of it. It was flat, worn, and faded. He loved it dearly and couldn't get comfortable without it.Sadly one day Blue Squishy got caught in a battle of teeth and claws and got ripped. He poured his microbead blood out on the bed until I could mend him - but he was never the same. Eventually I noticed my husband sleeping without him as it was more of an inconvenient lump than it was a supporting neck rest. I looked at all the local stores and could never find another Blue Squishy.That brings us to this guy. I was checking out all the Prime Day deals and I happened upon this little friend. He looked like Blue Squishy but many-a-pillow do. Without being able to feel him, I took the chance. When I got him home, I was delighted to find he felt just like (I imagine) Blue Squishy felt in his prime. I surprised my husband and he is just thrilled. He named this one "Blue Squishy" because he is super creative. This pillow is a life saver for my big-headed husband. He needs the extra support after carrying that melon around all day. I am glad I was able to find this and replicate a dear old friend for him.

We use this a lot. Great for travel. Gel beads inside never get lumpy but stay loose and adapts to the shape you need.

Pillow is comfortable and will break in. The smell will knock you on your ass

We had to order a second one so he has one on either side as he flips through the night. They support his arms, giving relief to his shoulders. Then we ordered a second set to take to the cabin.

Love these pillows for support pillows for side and between knees for sleeping. They also help keep you cool in summer and warm in winter I find. Only reason not giving 5 stars is that it came in a different shade of colour than I ordered and slightly different design ... not as shown in picture. I ordered a royal blue one and what came was a baby blue with fuzzy sides. Not a huge deal for me but for others could be.
