This product was delivered in a cardboard box that was well-suited to its size. Inside the box was a second, very sturdy cardboard box in which the cushion was packed.
The cushion is protected by plastic – it would be desirable for the seller to consider a more environmentally friendly packaging option .
The product comes with instructions for use in German and English, which state that the cushion needs six to nine hours to fully unfold.

The seams of the cushion are very well finished and the zip is also easy to open and close.
The surface of the cushion cover feels pleasant against the skin.
The fabric of the cushion is white.
Immediately after unpacking, the pillow is still very thin and compressed, but it unfolds after a few hours as stated by the manufacturer and takes on its final shape.
The memory foam makes a high-quality impression and the padding feels pleasant after pressure is applied.
Overall, the product made a very good first impression in the test.

The orthopaedic memory foam pillow was subjected to an extensive practical test .
Regardless of your own weight or body shape, which exerts pressure on the pillow, this product adapts very well. This results in a high level of lying comfort.
After prolonged use, it was observed that the pillow always returns to its original shape.
The cushion cover was machine-washed at 40 degrees – there was no change in the material and the cover retained its pleasant softness.
No allergic reactions were detected when the pillow was used.
In the practical test, this product was particularly convincing due to its pleasant lying comfort and high robustness, which means that it always returns to its original shape after use.

At the time of testing, the product had not been listed on Amazon for long enough. Therefore, the existing reviews do not sufficiently reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the product, so this point is neglected in the evaluation .
Prices of up to €48.90 are charged on the internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €31.99 . The orthopaedic memory foam pillow from CALMONT is therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of €37.46. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
