The pillows contributed to much better sleep for me. I can see how one can be overwhelmed with the pillows and blankets in the sUA J seat, but it's workable in the sCO J seat. As I've said before I place the big blanket upright in the tower, the smaller blanket in the cubbie right below the television, the smaller pillow as a headrest/lumbar support, and the big pillow to the side. Really don't think it's fair for UA to begin cutting a new product that is not even one year old yet. This is disappointing to me. You're doing this all wrong, UA!
