Why are they so great? For one thing, they support you throughout the night. They give you comfort and they protect your head from hard things like floors, mattresses, carpeting, and arm rests. They give you leverage when you're watching tv. And they just feel good.

I have about five pillows on my bed right now. Two of your standard bed pillows (firm and kind of soft), one big pillow that's practically a body pillow (for someone of my height at least) and two decorative but comfy pillows. One is god awful looking in this strange pastel rainbow quilt like pattern with freaky fringes around it, but goodness gracious, it is *soft*. The softer the pillow the better I think. I don't want to rest my head and body on hard bricks, so why would I want firm pillows? I'm also not into those feather down ones either. My dad has one of those and the few times I've used it I felt like I was laying my head directly on the bed - there's no support at all!

So what's my point? Eh, I have none. Then again, who said my reviews had to have a point? I just wanted to talk about my ugly pastel colored pillow that I love so much.
