new pillows in domestic F

I thought I remembered a thread on this but can't find it. Maybe it was on Facebook.

Anyway I had a flight with new domestic F pillows yesterday (which I think was the first day). The only picture I have didn't come out great, but the size is roughly the same.

To me the cover feels much softer (not the raspy papery thing on the old ones) and can be distinguished from the previous style by the gray double rectangular borders. It looks like the actual pillow inside the cover is different and nicer too.

I noticed something was different on my SFO-SEA flight yesterday, but I was too tired to care/think more deeply. I do remember thinking the cover was much softer than usual - less hospital gown and more felt, I would say?

Yes, good comparisons

If that's true, that's great to hear! I've never been a big fan of the very hospital style feel of the current (old?) pillows. Too rough and cheap for my liking.

I also had one of these on a flight yesterday MSP-CLT. I chalked up the difference to flying on G7 instead of mainline.

FWIW mine was on a mainline 739.

The real question is whether they’re any less unsanitary than the previous ones...

Where's the pictures? I'm stuck in Asia, but I want to see what Delta has decided we all wanted them to spend money on.

Noticed it too- they are marginally nicer than the “hospital gown” quality ones.
