@rashida. @mikaylar - Haha. I get your skepticism regarding sobakawa pillows. I guess they're not for everyone? I can tell you these things: (1) I am also a princess (well, prince) and the pea - yet the pillow has never felt grainy, bumpy, or anything but awesomely comfortable to me. (2) There are some "moving around sounds" when you first adjust it - but I've never been awakened by any pillow sounds. (3) It keeps me cool... (4) It's a bit heavy. (5) You can adjust the pillow to the exact, precise position you want regardless of how you sleep. (6) My arms are usually under my head and under my pillow - yet they've never "fallen asleep" during the night as the pillow molds itself over my arm.

Maybe you can find a seller who will give you a free trial? They aren't expensive...
