I ordered this pillow because I was not quite satisfied with my past. Either did not consider or form I was sweating. Now it appeared logical to the wood flakes could absorb moisture. In addition, I find the odor decreases markedly after einr while very pleasant. Unfortunately, every now and then I was snoring. Since I use this pillow, it's gone, the snoring. I told an American friend, the whole bedroom "sawed" on a regular basis. Because of the experience that I made with the pillow, I beeschloss, to give her a happy birthday. What can I say, she is excited and ... it works - she snores not when she is sleeping on this pillow. Although I do not know exactly why, but as long as it works, heck all right with me.
