I did the dryer thing, and they plumped up like an Oscar Mayer Wiener, but they are much firmer than I am used to. So I am using it on the "bottom" as a base pillow and putting my "feather" pillow on top 0f it.
I think I can stand it that way ? but it will make a good BJ pillow when my head is hanging off the bed, now it will have support, so the guy can pound my throat into oblivion..... .
