Resort pillows?

[Melani]

I've decided to give bed pillows as Christmas presents this year. (Yes, I have run out of ideas w/ Godparents, Grandparents, Aunts & Uncles).

Anyway, we stayed at BWV in May & my DH loved their pillows. On another thread they were discussing the pillows and said BWV were Beyond Nature by Carpenter.

I bought one Beyond Down & one Beyond Nature. They are both fabulous, but someone else told me the pillows said Pacific Coast.
Penney's has them on sale also.

My ?:
Has anyone used either of these pillows?
How long do they hold up?

I still remember the pillows at the Contemporary from our Dec '07! Now that's a Christmas present you can really use!

We bought a Beyond Nature pillow for each member of our family after staying in the Beach Club two years ago. We got them on sale at JCP. They have held up well including machine washings. They are a little firm so we also have a Natures Sleep (www.naturessleep.com) faux down for each of us. The combination of the two works well for us.

2 yrs!

Wow. I was hoping for 1 yr. The Beyond Nature is gusseted & seems firmer. The Beyond Down does not have a gusset & is definitely softer. We use both together also. I feel so pampered when I go to bed.

But we've only had them a week. So I can't judge for myself their longevity.

It's just that they are on sale half price right now. But it would be nice to go ahead & knock out most of my Christmas shopping in July!
