A portrait of leading Edwardian polo player Riversdale Grenfell.

Riversdale Nonus Grenfell (often known as “Rivy”) was the youngest of the nine sons and six daughters of Pascoe Du Pré Grenfell (four of the boys were killed during World War I). He was the identical twin of Francis Octavius Grenfell. Both boys were educated at Eton College, leaving in 1899 to pursue their separate careers: Francis as a soldier, Rivy entering the banking profession. Both were accomplished polo players - Francis rated as an 8-goal player and Rivy, even better, with a 9-goal handicap.

Riversdale achieved particularly notable success on the polo field. He won the 1907 Hurlingham Champion Cup with his team the Freebooters, repeating the feat in 1909 with the Roehampton Club. In 1910, he was part of the Ranelagh team that won the U.S. Open Championship. His other victories included the Rugby Open Cup, the All Ireland Open Cup, the Patriotic Challenge, Roehampton’s Junior Championship, the Ranelagh Novices, the Public Schools Cup and the Roehampton Cup. He was also a member of the Polo Pony Society and, during a visit to India, won the Kadir Cup (the main pig-sticking competition) on his first attempt.

Alongside his banking career, Rivy served as a volunteer Lieutenant in the Royal Buckinghamshire Hussars. At the outbreak of World War I, he enlisted and transferred to his brother’s regiment, the 9th (Queen’s Royal) Lancers. The twins were swiftly posted to France, landing on 21 August 1914. During the Battle of Audregnies on 24 August 1914, Francis displayed exceptional bravery and was severely wounded saving guns from being captured by the enemy during a retreat. For his gallantry he was awarded the first Victoria Cross of the war. While Francis convalesced, Rivy was killed in action on 14th September 1914 during the First Battle of the Aisne, having been in France for only 24 days. Having recovered from his injuries Francis returned to the front and was killed just eight months later at Hooge in Belgium on 24th May 1915, during the Second Battle of Ypres.

The Grenfell twins’ short but remarkable lives were chronicled by their friend John Buchan in a biography which was published in 1920.

Very comfortable, luxurious, and affordable.
Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
Great pillow. Feels soft enough for comfort while being cool and cozy. There could be more filling to make it slightly more firm but otherwise a great pillow.

Memory Foam Pillows
Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
recently purchased the OSBED Cooling Adjustable Shredded Memory Foam Pillow, and it has made a noticeable difference in my sleep quality. One of my favorite features is the adjustable fill, which allowed me to customize the height and firmness to perfectly support my neck and shoulders. Whether you’re a side, back, or stomach sleeper, it’s easy to find a comfortable setup. The cooling cover does a great job of preventing heat buildup throughout the night, which is a huge plus for anyone who tends to sleep warm. The shredded memory foam provides excellent support while still feeling soft and comfortable, and it doesn’t flatten out like some traditional pillows.

Great Quality, But Not for Me (Too Heavy & Hot)
Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
I want to start by saying there is absolutely nothing wrong with this pillow—it’s well made, good quality, and exactly as described. The adjustable shredded memory foam design and cooling features will likely work well for many people. That said, it just wasn’t a good fit for me personally. Right away, I noticed that the shredded memory foam pieces are fairly large and dense, which made the pillow feel heavier than I expected. When I laid on it, it didn’t have the light, airy “cloud” feeling I prefer. Instead, it felt more solid and structured. I also found it retained heat. Even though it’s advertised as cooling, memory foam tends to hold warmth, and I could feel that fairly quickly. For someone sensitive to heat, this may be uncomfortable. If you prefer a more supportive, denser pillow, this could be a good option. But if you’re looking for something lightweight and breathable, this may not be the best choice. Overall, it’s a quality product—just not the right match for my comfort preferences.
