if it is that squishy then what is the point? Wouldn't it just squish 
down to practicaly ground level when you rest your tired head upon it?

I'm actually slightly allergic, I think, to down. It doesn't bother me to 
use down sleeping bags or clothing since the down is securely inside the 
item. But, I know that some down pillows I've tried using in people's 
home seem to leak and maybe bother me (hard to say since said home also 
have cats and I a very sensetive to cats). Is that a problem with the 
pillow you use?
