For thirty-two years Ken Steele lived with the devastating symptoms of schizophrenia, tortured by inner voices commanding him to kill himself, ravaged by the delusions of paranoia, barely surviving on the ragged edges of society. In this powerful and inspiring story, Steele tells the story of his hard-won recovery from schizophrenia and how activism and advocacy helped him regain his sanity and go on to give hope and support to so many others like him. His recovery began with a small but intensely dramatic moment. One evening in the spring of 1995, shortly after starting on Risperdal, a new antipsychotic medicine, he realized that the voices that had tormented him for three decades had suddenly stopped. Terrified but also empowered by this new freedom, Steele rose to the challenge of creating a new life. Steele went on to become one of the most vocal advocates of the mentally ill, earning the respect not only of patients and families but also of professionals and policymakers all over America through his tireless devotion to a cause that transformed his life and that of countless others. The Day the Voices Stopped will endure as Ken Steele's testament for all who struggle with this heartbreaking disease.

Incredibly Comfortable and Supportive — My New Favorite Pillow!
I wasn’t expecting to love this pillow as much as I do, but the DIORIS large sleeping pillow really exceeded my expectations. From the first night, I noticed a difference in the way my neck and shoulders felt in the morning—less tension, better alignment, and overall more restful sleep. The fill is just the right balance between plush and supportive. It doesn’t flatten out during the night, which is a problem I’ve had with other pillows, especially those that come overstuffed or too soft. This one holds its shape well but still has that cozy, cloud-like feel when you lay your head on it. I’m a side and back sleeper, and this pillow works beautifully in both positions. It’s also large enough that I don’t feel like I’m falling off it during the night, but not so big that it takes over the whole bed. One suggestion: if you’re picky about loft, you might want to give it a gentle fluff or adjust the fill before your first night. But honestly, I didn’t need to do much—it was pretty much perfect out of the bag. Highly recommended if you're looking for a high-quality, comfortable, and generously sized pillow that supports a great night’s sleep!

Hotel like pillow
These pillows were a pleasant surprise. I bought the set for our guest room but ended up keeping them for our own bed after trying them out. They feel incredibly soft yet still provide enough support to keep my neck from feeling stiff in the morning. I sleep on my side and back, and these work great for both positions. My spouse, who usually runs hot at night, said they stayed cool and breathable. The material feels high quality, and I love that they’re machine washable without losing their shape. They fluffed right back up after drying. If you're looking for that plush hotel-pillow feel with everyday practicality, this set really delivers.

Very soft, not firm at all
This pillow is very floppy and not firm at all. It is quite large and I was surprised at the size. My dog has taken a liking to it and decided it's now her new dig bed, which is fine by me, because it's really too soft for my liking. If you like soft pillows then this is for you. If you require something with a bit more support then you won't enjoy this pillow.

Soft and supportive
I recently purchased the this pillow and I am happy with the quality and comfort it provides. Pillow is soft, plush, and supportive without being too firm. The down alternative fill offers the balance of fluffiness and structure, making them ideal for all sleep positions. Whether I’m sleeping on my back, side, or stomach, these pillows adapt beautifully and keep me comfortable throughout the night. They’re also breathable and skin-friendly, which is a huge plus for anyone with sensitive skin. After using them, I wake up feeling well-rested and free of neck stiffness. I like it.

Pillow
These DIORIS pillows are a game-changer! I’ve tried many pillows over the years, but these are by far the best. The down alternative fill is incredibly soft yet supportive, providing just the right amount of fluffiness without feeling too firm or too soft. I sleep on my side, and these pillows cradle my head and neck perfectly, giving me the support I need for a restful night. They’re breathable and skin-friendly, which is great since I tend to get hot while I sleep. The queen size is just right for my bed, and the pillows maintain their shape night after night. They feel like luxury hotel pillows! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable, supportive, and durable pillow.
