Sarah Peyton 50-Inch Memory Foam Body Pillow

I purchased two of these same pillows about two months ago from a competing retailer and wrote three reviews for that retailer which were unfortunately never published--I suspect due to the negative review. It seems only one one star and many five star reviews were published on that site. Therefore, I'm posting my review here because Amazon always publishes reviews unless they are in poor taste.

When I first received the pillows, I loved them and would have rated them five stars. The pillows arrived flat and then expanded to a suitable body-pillow size. If you purchase more than one you will realize that the length and width is not always the same for each of the pillows. My two expanded to a different width and length (one was about eight inches longer than the other and a little fatter).

After one week I knew this purchase was a mistake. The pillows are very hard (which is what I wanted); however, they are also very HEAVY and make you sweat when hugging them. It feels like I'm throwing around a six pound baby every time I re-adjust positions. Also, they are made of PIECES of memory foam (which is why the pillow arrives flat--it is compressed so that the pieces appear to be one solid piece of memory foam). THOSE PIECES OF MEMORY FOAM PROMPTLY FALL APART AFTER YOU USE THE PILLOW!

After daily use you will find that the foam does not have any memory at all. Instead you have a hard, lumpy pillow with pieces that separate inside the pillow and never go back together even if you re-adjust the material inside. The situation becomes worse if you encase the pillow in a body pillowcase because then the memory foam pieces are unable to shift causing a very hard lumpy mass.

If the memory foam behaved as memory foam should, I would have loved this pillow even with the heavy weight because I wanted something very firm. However, it reminds me of a sack of potatoes where the potatoes constantly shift and are never in one place, yet are just as heavy and firm.

If you buy this pillow you will own a very heavy and very firm body pillow with constantly shifting memory foam pieces! Using the memory foam name in this body pillow is misleading--it NEVER expands back into its full position; instead you have a lumpy mess. If you don't encase the pillow in another pillowcase then it will not seem so heavy and the memory foam pieces will expand at little to fit the elasticized encasement the pillow came with.

BUYER BEWARE......... I cannot recommend this body pillow and I'm sorry I purchased two of them. I threw them out this morning (1/9/09) after trying to use them for less than two months!!!!!!!!!

I bought this pillow for my wife and she loves it. So the foam is in several pieces... really? It expanded to full mass in about 5 days and cannot tell it is in several pieces despite smashing it over and over again when my wife was able to start using it up to today. Yes it's heavy... she likes it because it stays in place. Yes it's hard... it conforms to her legs and arms and stays like that so she sleeps all night with no issues. I encased the pillow in a cover and it is not a lumpy mess. I also live in Satan's back yard call Arizona and I cannot feel what "heat" is being referenced here that makes you sweat like a pig using this pillow without a pillow case on. My wife gets mad at me everytime I take the pillow from her... what does that tell you?

Buy Sarah Peyton 50-Inch Memory Foam Body Pillow Now

I regret buying this pillow. It comes compressed and rolled into a small cylinder. I shook it like the instructions said, but it still took several days to expand.

It is made of pieces of memory form, not a memory foam pad, which makes the description highly missleading. Mine has two places where the foam pieces are completely seperated, so its like having 3 small pillows inside a body-pillow-sized pillow case.

Don't buy.

I got this pillow at CVS, for significantly cheaper than it is being sold for here (a rare occurance). While I don't know if I'd pay the Amazon price for it, I do know that my sleep has improved since getting this pillow. I'm a side sleeper who moves very infrequently in my sleep, so I don't know if that'll make a difference as to why this pillow was great for me.

Also, it comes with a teeny pillow around the size of a deck of cards... I think that might just be to see how the memory foam feels, but I use it as a wrist rest when using a computer mouse. Very helpful!

A few points to consider.

1) It took around 5 hours to expand to it's full size after taking it out of the package, so the first night it was a little hard.

2) The removable cover is quite snug to the pillow, so it is a bit difficult to put the pillow back in after washing it.

Edit 02/28/2012 = This pillow got really hard after around 3 months of usage. Now it is unusable as a sleeping pillow, and I now use it only as an additional lounging pillow in our living room.

5 months after becoming a mother, I still had trouble sleeping. I experienced pain in my lower back as well as my hips. The first night I used the memory foam pillow, marked the first of many nights of wonderful sleep. The foam is thick and more than supportive, unlike cheaper imitations. My husband even naps with it from time to time and he sleeps like a baby. Definitely a great buy.
