how long does this pillow last?

I've had it for 1 yr now and it has retained it's shape, however, it has not provided comfort for me since I purchased the pillow. I do not recommend it. Hope this helps!

I have had mine for many months & the minty smell is very faint but it's seems to be holding up very well. I do alternate it with another pillow but it seems like it will last a long time

I've had mine for about a year as well, and I still love it! Only thing I can sleep on that does not hurt my neck.

I've had mine about a year and other than it on longer having the slight minty smell, it is just as good as it was new. It has maintained it's shape and lives up to the claim of not making you sweat. I still recommend this pillow and it is the one I use every night.

I bought my pillow in August 2012 and it's still in wonderful shape 5 months later! It's so incredibly soft and supportive. I LOVE this pillow!

I have mine for 8 months now, and it's still as comfy as when I first got it.

Two years of daily use for me, and there is no decline in quality or support.

I've been using mine every night for about 6 months now and it is still exactly as the day I purchased it - comfortable and continues to help my neck pain. The awesome minty smell dissipated around the 3 month mark.

I've had two of them since October. No problems here. I know that isn't very long, but I don't see any wear on them. I also bought the 3" topper, and it's wonderful. Hope this helps.

I have only had it for about 3 months but it is great. I am going for my 3rd and 4th cervical spine surgery soon and I hope it is waiting for me when I get home from the hospital.

It hasn't flattened out, but it doesn't get slept on very often. We bought 2 of them, one for a queen blow up bed, which gets used about30 nights a year, and a king for the top of 2 twins in our guest room. That one has only been used for 7 nights so far. My daughter has had the same topper for over a year and it is still holding it shape!

I used it up until her head no longer fits inside the pillow. But that was around the time she started sitting up. Which is when you have to stop using it anyways.

I don't know exactly, being a new owner of the pillow myself. I've had it only a month. By the sounds of it, however, you (meaning whoever owns one) don't have to replace it but only refill it when it when you notice it getting smaller or not as comfortable. Much like a car tire I guess. I've had it a month and it's still like the day I got it. Hope this helps! Regards, Wayne.

I've had mine for more than 15 years, used daily if my neck is problematic, then maybe not for months at a time. The foam is starting to deteriorate so I'm going to get a new one. I get headaches at the base of my skull and this is the only thing that relieves them.

It is soft and goes flat in about a week. I would not recommend this pillow.

I have had this pillow for over a year and it has not lost shape. It is very, very comfortable. I too, am a side sleeper. My neck has not been hurting as much, nor has my back. I recommend it. May not be for everyone, but I like it a lot.

I guess it would depend on environmental factors; how often it was used, how quickly the buckwheat broke down, etc. but also how firm you like the pillow. I was able to take a freezer bags worth of buckwheat out of mine, and can use that as replacement kernels when the time comes. So who knows? How often does a regular pillow last? 10+ years? I would bet that the buckwheat could last that long or more.

I've been using the pillow for about 3 months. If you bend the pillow at all and use it for between your legs, that area goes flat rather quickly. It's still usable and somewhat comfortable, but definitely not as comfortable as when it's brand new

I left the pillow out on a table for about 24 hours, turning it once. It still had a little smell to it but that went away quickly.

Deborah is exactly right! I've been using these pillows for more than 15 years, and the quality and life of the pillow has declined substantially over that time. I've bought new ones every few years. The old ones lasted much, much longer than do the current ones.

I don't know, but it is stinky when new. The cover pills badly and the carry case is made of paper and ripped the first time I used it. Not "durable." The pillow itself, however is very functional and serves my needs perfectly.

I have had my pillow a couple months and haven't had to fill yet I like the water pillow I had one before its great if you have neck problems.

I have had mine 3 years and it still works great. Getting a new one so I can put this one in the camper. I have had to keep a heating pad handy with other pillow. My wife thinks its well worth it too.

I'm not sure, but the product descriptions said a lifetime..... however amazon has a 30 day return. My hubby & I love pillows and will use replace them if necessary in several years. They really help and exceed the product descriptions. They are with the money.

Not long, considering how compressed the foam looks...maybe a couple of hours at most. It's MAGIC!!!

I had a U pillow for over 10 years and I loved it. Unfortunately it started to lose it shape and I needed to replace it. I ordered this Comfort U Ttl body pillow months ago and already I find that the way I use it while sleeping (resting my arm & my leg over it every night) the stuffing inside the pillow is starting to get soft. My first pillow lasted a long time before that occurred but the way this pillow is holding up it will never last 10 years. Perhaps not even 2 years. i love the pillow, I love the concept, its just that the material used inside seems to be going flat way too soon for what I spent on the pillow. Hope this helps.
