Ostrichpillow Reviews 73

I love my ostrich pillow! I have the classic one and use it for regular decompression times and meditation. The cool gentle pressure on my eyes and unobstructed nose and mouth are perfect for breathing exercises. The office knows not to bother me when I am in my ostrich.

Some of the best money I've spent. Bought 4 travel pillows for the whole family for a long haul flight and it made SUCH a difference. Totally worth every penny.

Plus the customer service is amazing. We lost a bag for one of the pillows an they replaced all 4 free of charge. We're now looking at getting the eye masks.

EDIT:

Their reply below is not factually correct. They say that the manager "explained that the pillow was needed back to investigate the situation since those aren't being manufactured anymore". Firstly, they did not give the explanation above, or any explanation whatsoever, as to why we were obliged to do the work of sending the pillow back (only that it was required). Secondly, even if they had given the explanation above it would not even be a reasonable explanation - that would instead be if they explained what kind of investigation it is that warrants the physical product back. Otherwise, I suspect there is none. I provided or could provide all details with a picture. If they need to know which specific pillow it is in order to track it in their internal processes, I could have supplied them with whatever identification number is used.
When it comes to the full refund, I see that they are not legally required by EU law to do so if they have a reasonable chance to repair the item. So that was indeed a nice gesture.

ORIGINAL:

I had the luck of speaking to 2 different agents, but both unfortunately just seemed to pretend to not understand what I was saying, repeatedly, despite my efforts to be as clear as possible.

I bought a pillow specifically because it was made out of viscose, and they sent me an older version that wasn't. These older models are not supposed to be sold anymore according to ostrichpillow. When I pointed this out, they:

1. Took a long time to reply.
2. When they finally replied and explained the problem, they apologized but didn't offer to correct anything whatsoever.
3. I followed up and asked them to please send a new and correct pillow. They agreed but wanted me to do the work of returning the old pillow first. They offered to give a return label for this.
4. I tried to explain that the pillow was a gift to my elderly mother and it is difficult for her to print the label and go to a UPS drop off-location, which were far away from her home. I don't live close at all so I can't help her. To me, it is reasonable to just send the correct product without demanding her do the labor of sending the faulty product back, as this was Ostrichpillow's mistake to begin with. Especially in this case, where the faulty product was an older model that is not being sold anyway. This makes me suspect that they still send these old models out on purpose until they empty their warehouse of them, and hope for customers not to notice or not to care in the meantime.
5. They refused to do this. They seemed to pretend as if I asked for a free product, when in reality I was saying that I my mother should not be doing the labour of returning a package to fix a mistake that they made. Especially since the returned product is useless anyway. Note that I had provided clear evidence of the pillow being faulty.
6. In the end, after having talked to two separate agents and feeling like we are getting nowhere, I agreed to a return and asked for a refund.

I will not buy from Ostrichpillow again and would not recommend it because of this inability to understand what I was saying or do see this from my point of view. Admittedly, they were respectful in their words but so was I, because I believe this has more to do with company policies than the customer service agents themselves - although the agents could really have made an effort to acknowledge that they understood what I was saying and why it was a problem, at least.

I bought a Snugalo for myself instead and will be looking around for a nicer alternative for my mother. Maybe something in silk!

I backed the Ostrichpillow sleep mask in kickstarter when it was first launched. I replaced it just over two years later with a new one and my husband wanted one too, so I recently bought one for him and he loves it as well. Such a great and comfortable design. Postage is quick, the store is easy to navigate and I love their range of products.

Best online company I have dealt with. Great customer service. Thank you

I ordered my pillows and mask in late November 2024. In Canada the items are shipped are shipped through Amazon. Unfortunately, Amazon uses Canada Post for shipping in remote areas and at this time a month long mail strike was happening. Because of their shipping backlog, Amazon wasn't prepared to guarantee delivery until February 2025. Aurora at Ostrichpillow customer service offered and arranged shipment from their factory approximately three weeks earlier than Amazon.
I had regular updates from Aurora throughout the entire process which made a seamless transaction. Great customer service with this company. Would highly recommend to any interested buyer. Pillows and mask seem really good. I'm looking forward to trying them on our upcoming trip to Europe.

Returning an item is pretty easy, but the whole process can take a while because they won't issue refund until they receive and verify the product. But customer service was responsive and helpful and I will be buying from them again!

Very professional company. I had a problem with my order and I wrote explaining my situation and the problem was resolved very quickly. Great customer service!! I definitely recommend this company. Also my pillow is the best pillow I have ever had

Excellent customer service. I had an issue receiving my order and expected difficulties but was extremely impressed how responsive they were and swiftly sorted the issue.
Giving 5 stars for customer service only as the order ended up being cancelled

I ordered these pillows to survive an overnight 8 hour economy flight. They made a huge difference to being able to get some quality sleep on the flight. For an adult these pillows fit perfectly, they are a bit big for our 12 year old. I would definitely not travel again without them!

I ordered a green sleep mask and instead of just cancelling the order, the company reached out to let me know they were out of stock and offered an alternative. I decided to cancel since it was out of stock and they followed through on that cancellation without any hassle.

Quick response to a missing item! Will order from them again! Thank you, Aurora!

Unpleasant chemical smell even after washing thrice. Not happy with my purchase.

Edit: quick and helpful response via their support!

I have bought maybe 15+ Ostrich products over the years, and initially as a skeptic. Most are the great Ostrichpillows, eye covers and gel pillow (the hot/coldwater bottle was much less effective), latest 2 OPs in December. The latest delivery went astray but the concerned customer support was excellent in immediate replacement in different colours, but then managed to track down my original preferred coloured pillow order (mislaid) which was even better as they went the last mile. I was impressed with the courteousness, consideration, honesty and friendliness displayed (thanks Aurora and Patricia). Will continue to buy in a crowded marketplace - can't do without this for a high quality, comfortable sleep (doubles up as a mini pillow too).

Excellent customer service. I purchased the sleep pillow. I found the comfort very good, however a little low for me side sleeping. I reached out to Ostrichpillow for a return and received a full refund even for the extra covers I had purchased. I also have the neck wrap which I recommend. A silent massage effect! Thankyou Ostrichpillow. Grateful.

Best neck pillow out there.

I received an Ostrichpillow Light pillow in June and found it indispensable during my summer travels. Not only was it great on flights (providing a head rest and also blocking out light), it was the perfect pillow for road trips. If you're like me and always fall asleep in the car, this product is amazing. No more leaning on cold, car windows!

I am a big user of neck pillows, especially when travelling. I’ve gone through many throughout the years. The Ostrichpillow material is very soft on the skin and hugs the neck well. The pillow also nicely fits into a small bag which keeps it hygienic unlike many other neck pillows that simply wobble around. The pillow does hug you all the way around the neck so if you’re someone that likes to wear large headphones (like me), this might be a bit uncomfortable. Customer service was quick to respond to me (next day) and offered a full refund, no issues.

As a frequent traveler, I recently purchased the Ostrichpillow Go travel pillow, and it has significantly enhanced my in-flight comfort. The high-density memory foam adapts seamlessly to my neck's shape, offering exceptional comfort. Investing in the Ostrichpillow Go has truly improved my travel experience.

I’ve tried several travel pillows and NONE of them gave me the support to get any decent sleep on a flight. This pillow is the bomb diggity! I slept like a baby - so comfortable. I plan to give as Christmas presents this year.
