The Brentwood Home feathered gel pillow is a traditional pillow alternative for Amazon lovers everywhere. Rather than being made with real feathers, it is made with gel-foam that is shredded to provide a feel that is quite similar to a feather or down pillow, allowing for a good amount of moldability.

Brentwood Home Pillow Specifics
The Brentwood Home feathered gel pillow is a great option for those that desire a feather or down alternative and are animal conscious. These pillows, however, are not adjustable and some sleepers describe them as not as supportive as they'd like.
What's Inside the Pillow?
The Brentwood feathered gel pillow is made of strands of memory foam that are designed to feel similar to a feather or down pillow. Overall, some report that they can feel the individual pieces of memory foam through the cover and that the shredded foam is too noticeable. Also, there are some complaints of some odor from the foam.
The Outside of the Pillow
The cover of the Brentwood Home feathered gel pillow is a derived bamboo rayon, which is extremely soft but also highly treated with chemicals during the manufacturing process. The cover does not allow for easy access to the fill to adjust the support.
Support
Most people enjoy the support and describe it as medium support, good for most sleepers. However, there are some mixed reviews on the supportiveness of the pillow and those that claim that some of the pillows purchased feel different from one another in terms of support. For this reason it is hard to put a finger on how supportive the pillows will be after purchase.
Who Is The Brentwood Home Pillow Best For?
These pillows are for folks who are on a budget, enjoy the shopping experience from Amazon, and aren't too picky on pillow consistency.

1st order great, 2nd order just meh, hoping 3rd order is great.....
Great for back sleeper!
I am hypersensitive to smells and there was almost no smell when I got it. Not really a chemical smell, it smelled more like a store. I could have used it that night but decided to give it a night to fully air out and decompress.
The pillow is mildly comfortable. I sleep mostly on my side and it does have the flexibility to form into the nooks and crannies for comfort. It takes a couple minutes to adjust to be comfortable. A complaint i have is that I am waking up with my head not on the pillow. I think it it too tall and I slide off. This would be a great pillow for a back sleeper for sure.
Comfortable but Smells
I would also like to point out that Amazon sent me pillow in a ripped package (it was a product fulfilled by Prime). This wouldn't have been a problem otherwise, but the corner of the pillow laid on the ground and had been run over a few times by some sort of warehouse machine, perhaps a skid loader. It should have been either sold at a discounted price because of this, or not sold at all. Since the stain was only on the Bamboo case, I was able to spot-treat it, wash it, and get the stain out. So, Hey! Amazon! I'm willing to accept a discount credit on my account because of this! :)

Changed From What It Used To Be
Horrible smell
Great!
I wanted a soft memory foam pillow and I finally found one. The cover is high quality as well!
Absolutely the BEST pillow I've ever slept on.
Pretty good, comfortable pillow. Takes some time to break in.
Smell -- There was a slight smell when it arrived, and it hasn't quite come out, but it's not bothersome at all. It has that 'new smell' to it, which I kind of like. I'm always reminded that I'm sleeping on a new pillow.
Materials -- Memory gel foam was new to me, but it's more comfortable than latex or even a down pillow because it molds to my head/upper back and shoulders to some extent. It does bounce back, though. The bamboo cover is nice enough that I haven't put a pillowcase on it, but I likely will soon.
Heat factor -- It does run a little warm for me. I like cool/cool pillows, but again, if I put a cotton pillowcase on it, this mild problem would be solved, but it isn't so warm that I suffer or wake up; it just makes me keep flipping it from one side to another.
Overall -- It's a good pillow to fall asleep on. I'm a restless (and light) sleeper, and it keeps the kinks out of my neck and is soft to sleep on but still firm enough to keep my head and shoulders up some distance from the mattress. Last week, when I first got it, I would have given it a 3. I've broken it in over the past week far enough to give it a 4 rating. Hope this helps.
