I purchased a Side Sleeper Pro Pillow on eBay on 23 Nov 2015. It was advertised as the original item 'as seen on tv' with a picture of the genuine packaging and specs. When it arrived, it was an obvious and very flimsy fake. I have owned three of these before and it is plain to see this is not genuine. I contacted the seller and they denied it was a fake. They told me they would refund my money ONLY IF I amended my feedback.
I sent them pictures of my genuine pillow alongside their pillow. They told me 'it is anther 'version' of the pillow, 'which is why you think it's different'. I wrote feedback stating this is a non genuine aritcle and they responded that it is and over 400 sold with no issues. I do not believe these stats to be real and if they are, the people buying this product don't know what the genuine article should be like.
This pillow is filled with a very soft compressable material and it offers no support whatsoever. The real pillow is a lot more dense and heavy and the cover is different. It cannot be compressed as their fake item can. As I have a neuromusclar condition, I need this pillow to help with my night time breathing. It is very supporting and I am able to lay on my side for the first time in years.
The pillow they sent me just squashed down to nothing - it would be worth all of $2.00.
I am really upset by this because I really needed a replacement for my old Side Sleeper Pro.

I have one of those new in the box in my storage shed. Just checked it and its not memory foam. If you take the outer zipped cover off, the pillow surface is slightly shiny and looks to be filled with something that almost has a dark tinge to it.
I know this one is 'for real' as the lady who purchased it did so through some infomercial.

My OH has one of these,(I presume it's an original),
It's too hard for her and it now sits in storage,(along with all the other stuff that she bought that we don't have
room for),
