I really like this pillow

I really like this pillow. It’s good quality and adjust to my sleeping pattern. I ordered 2 more to put in the guest room, as I’m sure my guests will appreciate them.

Not medium fill and has no head support at all

Not a medium fill. Pillows barely raised higher than when taken out of the package, shook and left for 24 hrs as instructed. Pillow will not provide head support and would have to be scrunched up to get any. So disappointed.

I have bought several cushions and a duvet which I love. Will look into returning these.

Thank you so much for your feedback. We log and track all feedback we receive so that we can improve our products and descriptions. It's true that microfiber products won't fluff up much more after being taken out of the package. Microfiber doesn't trap much air, so it doesn't act as much like down and feather, which expand with fluffing.
Totally understand that you may need something more supportive than these pillows. We hope to introduce a firmer version of this pillow in the future.
I will say that 'medium fill' is somewhat subjective. What one person considers medium, another person might find too soft or too firm. We do list the actual fill weights of every product, as an objective measure. If you're in the market for another microfiber pillow now, I recommend checking the fill weight of the one you purcahsed from us and looking for a higher fill weight on the next try. Another brand's 'medium' could be softer or fuller than ours!

Really good pillow but I find it a bit too low

Really good pillow but I find it a bit too low. Is there any chance that you might offer this pillow in firm rather than medium fill?

Thank you so much for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear that it wasn't high profile enough for you. We are definitely looking into launching a firmer version of this pillow, driven primarily by customer feedback like yours. (We've added yours to the list as well!)
With our down and feather pillows, we have the ability to add fill for those who find them too soft. Unfortunately, we don't offer this service for microfiber products, but are also looking to add that service in the future.

Very comfortable pillows!

Received my order quickly and both pillows were filled with material equally. I ordered the Queen size Gel Microfibre Down Alternative pillows.

Customers service with Canadian Down and Feather has always been excellent whether you need more information about a product or have any concerns about product received. I have ordered these pillows before. I would recommend them for a comfortable sleep.

From Canada to the US

The pillow I ordered was perfect. I received it very quickly, considering all the crazy stuff going on in the US. I ordered from your company based on comments from Alexandra Gater, a designer with a YouTube channel. She always recommends items from you guys.

The Perfect pillow

After buying many different pillows I decided to purchase two of these to see if I could improve my sleep. I needed a pillow that would keep me in a somewhat upright position without causing neck issues. After using them for a month, I liked them so much I bought two more! Highly recommend.

This is our second set of these pillows. Love them. Soft yet firm enough and easy to mould to our comfort.

Love this pillow!

I can’t say enough good things about this pillow. I’m predominantly a side sleeper but I like a softer plush pillow. Lately I’ve found that I start off sleeping on my side but wake up on my back, and my usual pillow is too firm and gives me neck pain. I have made several purchases of the microfiber duvet and the gel microfiber duvet and decided to give this pillow a chance. I do not regret it! It’s firm enough to meet my needs as a side sleeper, and soft and plush enough to meet my needs when I sleep on my back. The quality of this pillow is so fantastic and I’ve had the best sleep. I enjoyed sleeping on this so much that I purchased more to use in every room in my home.

Excellent Pillow

I’ve ordered a few different pillows from Canadian Down & Feather. I’ve loved them all, but this one is my favourite. Great medium support. Excellent for back or side sleeping.

Perfection

I have tried buying/trying other store brand pillows, only to return them for their subpar quality. I cannot find anything that compares to the softness, loft and comfort that Canadian Down & Feather Company provides. Just received my 3rd Gel Microfiber Gel Alternative Pillow and couldn't be happier. (I like to order a fresh one every 3 years. ;) ) A comfortable pillow is so very important to a heavenly sleep. I am a customer for life!

Nice Soft Supportive Pillows

After waiting a couple of days, I finally slept on my new pillows last night. Well worth the wait as they are everything that I'd hoped for - comfortable, soft and supportive.

It was nice to find a pillow that is good for someone with Multiple Chemical Sensitivities. There is no smell of any kind of chemicals on this pillow, just pure pillow.

Excellent all around. :)

I maybe wouldn't have ever written a review for this pillow had it not been for the interaction I had with customer service following delivery.
I ordered two of these for my mom as a present in April, and shortly before they arrived, took a chance on two more for myself. We both love(d) them (just as described, and provide the medium support promised), but a week into receiving it, one of my mom's started falling flat. She put it aside for a while (hoping lack of weight would puff it up again), we put it in the dryer when that didn't help, but when we ran out of options, I reached out to the company to explain and make a warranty claim. Although I knew this was just a one-off as the other pillows were not behaving this way, I had to go through the proper process. (Register your warranties--it's worth it!)
Within a day someone got back to me, assured I had taken all the right steps I could to fix the problem, and sent a return label so the team could see the issue for themselves. Once analyzed, a new pillow was sent to me. No further questions asked. Now all four are perfect, and I couldn't be happier. :)
A big thank you to Danny who couldn't have been more courteous and pleasant to deal with throughout this process, and the Canadian Down & Feather Co. for great pillows! :D

Not worth it- not supportive at all

These have the weight and feel of cheap 2 pack of Costco pillows but it's double the price. I bought this because I was looking for something more supportive. Unfortunately, it's very soft and flat. I have to constantly flip the pillow when I change positions, or bunch it up when I'm side sleeping because the corners are extremely flat. I tried fluffing up the pillow in the dryer, and while it does look fuller, the second you lay on it it's flat. The pillow might work for a small child. Not recommended and no returns are allowed.

Hi Amanda, Thank you so much for sharing your experience and perspective. I'm sorry that the pillows don't provide you the support you need. These pillows are 'down alternative', meaning they're designed to mimic the softness of down. That said, microfiber is denser and springier than down, so they do provide more support than a down pillow. But they're certainly softer than foam, latex, and many other synthetic materials. They're not the firmest pillows we offer - something containing feather in Firm support will be more supportive than these. But based on your description, it sounds like you may be better off with foam, latex or the like, as any down or feather product will have some 'give' to it.
It can be tough to find the right pillow for you - it varies so much person to person. What is soft to one can be very firm for another. Many side sleepers are OK with this pillow, but certainly not all - we find it is more popular for side/back combination sleepers who need a moderate / gentle support as a happy medium for both positions.
Returns are allowed on unused product. We recommend giving it a good feel before sleeping on it in case you may want to return. I know it can be challenging to vet a pillow without sleeping on it. Many of our products are eligible for alterations, where we can add or remove fill to adjust the support level for you once it's been used. Due to equipment constraints, this pillow isn't eligible for alterations, but we hope it will be over the next year or so. I'm sorry that your experience didn't meet your expectations and we wish you the very best in your search for the right product.
