Okay, I received the pillow from Amazon in 2 days- wow! But... it was still not right - too firm, inspite of the reviews on Amazon saying it was very soft. I'd say it is even more firm than the JCPenney one. Prabably the same ILD, but smaller holes, so my head was held higher, yet. So I spent 3 hours tearing it up. I tried the food processor, but it didn't work - just bounced the pieces around. I used my finger and thumb (of both hands) to pick it apart, making tiny pieces - very tedious. But it was well worth it. I slept on it last night, and my head went to just the right level, with the granules cradling it perfectly. Another upside is that since I have a zippered cover, I can remove latex as needed to adjust the firmness. If you have one of the store-bought shredded latex pillows, and are unhappy with the loft, I would recommend transferring its latex into a zippered cover and adjusting the quantity of latex. It should work like a charm.
