Bought a bundled pair of memory foam pillows that seemed ok in the packaging. Took them home and found them to be as hard as a rock. I'd avoid them unless you like hard pillows.

I'll have to take a look at those. I prefer a firm pillow and I've bought a couple different pillows there that the one sitting out felt good but the one I bought was way too soft.

I'm the opposite. These felt squishy in the bag, but once I got them out, there was almost no cushion. I lasted less than a minute before pulling out my old pillow.

Conversely, the cooling body pillow was wonderful. $15 and long, which is great for tall people

You may need to break it in. I have some memory foam stuff that started out firm but has softened up with use.

My wife beat hers up and used it for the night. It was still hard in the morning.

It takes longer than that. Like days or weeks. If you could soften it up with some violence and a night's sleep the damn thing would be a paste in a fiscal quarter.

Not going to spend days sleeping on a brick in the hopes it becomes a marshmallow. Sorry.
