That's where I put the other pillows. I like the square pillows. Will miss them.

Cheers.

I was at the Château Champlain in Montreal last weekend - the euro pillows were still in place.

I like to sit up in bed, and the euro pillows are great for that - hate having to get a tower of regular, soft pillows to stay behind my back.

FYI, the Euro pillows are on sale for $20 which isn't a bad price at all compared to Macy's, Beal's, etc. (Compared to the 4-for-a-$1 at the hotel mentioned by the OP maybe not such a good deal, but ew, used pillows for sale? Yuck.) All other Marriott Bed components on sale for MR members, link from email here.

Is this really true? I loved those pillows.

Good riddance! The square pillows have been the bane of Mrs. Ruffles's stays at Marriott properties of all types. They're too soft and too small for a King bed, which deserve king-size pillows. If you roll over, your head comes right off a Euro pillow.

Have had 2 stays, including the current one, @ the Knoxville Marriott in the past month & I'm very pleased report Euros are in place-have 3 on my bed, actually ^

Don't worry, I'm sure they're thoroughly washed, the same way all pillows are washed when a guest checks out. :eek::p

Does anyone know if they have rescinded this change?

I've stayed a couple more times at the aforementioned airport property, and shazaam EURO pillows were back on the beds.

Every other Marriott I've stayed at this year has had Euro pillows.

Just in case, I purchased 9 for my house over the holiday sale. Here's to hoping they'll keep them in the hotels too.

Marriott changing their pillows???
 

Just finished a stay at the Cologne MC and they've done away with the large square soft feather pillows. They've replaced them with rectangular ones that are hard and uncomfortable.

Was told by the GM that this is the new MC standard being rolled out slowly worldwide. If that's true I'll either have to bring my own or stay elsewhere :) (no joke). At a time when all hotels are moving towards pillow menus, could this really be true that MC is doing away with their most comfortable pillow in place of another rock hard like their foam ones...

Anyone else have this experience recently? Was this GM right that it's going to be a worldwide change? Or just lying to cover their a.. by screwing up the pillows :)?

Cheers.

Thank god hard pillows are on their way!

Thanks Sharon. That's insane that they'd stop offering the only pillow comfortable enough to sleep with.... (Although from that link clearly a lot of people like sleeping on cement :)

Why does everyone keep referring to those rectangular pillows they offer as "soft"? Does no one actually buy quality goose feather pillows for the own beds? You know, actually SOFT, pillows like the Marriott large square ones? The other ones, their rectangular foam and the new rectangular feather, are like sleeping on rocks...

I absolutely loathe those soft hunks of crap they call "pillows." Count me as very excited they're getting rid of them. This may actually pull me back to Marriott from Hyatt.

Hyatt offers a pillow menu so why switch
