What owners single out
Review 2's durability complaint aligns with the pillow's weakest aspect: owners report the fill flattens and loses support over time, contradicting expectations for a high-end product.
In their words
“I have tried SO. MANY. PILLOWS. It’s a running joke in my household at this point. I’ve been banned from ever bringing home another pillow because I’ve truly tried them all. I’ve had a Pillow Cube, multiple cervical spine pillows, the Cushion Lab Deep Sleep, Coop pillows… anything I could get my hands on to try to wake up without neck pain and tension.”
Olivia S. · verified purchase · laylasleep.com
“The pillow started off very nice; comfortable and supportive. But over time 6 months (really not that much time) to a year the pillow has become less and less supportive, and is now unbearable. The pillow no longer supports my head and I wake up with quite a bit of neck soreness. I contacted Laya about this issue and they recommended I "fluff" the pillow in the dryer. This helped for all of a day.”
