I'm more of a side sleeper that's why I purchased a high loft plush, a low loft would be perfect for stomach sleeper, not as high so as to keep the your neck and spine perfectly aligned. Also this pilllow will not sink flat, will sink to certain level and remain solid, excellent pillow.

I like the pillow but it's so doused with chemicals....probably a lot of formaldehyde ..that it wreaks for months...i would stay clear...

I would say that it is. It is very conforming. Does generate a little warmth after a while as the is no venting Be sure to sleep with the zipper side away from your face.

I'm a back sleeper and this pillow is great. Helps me stop snoring. This pillow will hold your head up so doen't sound like you want this one its about 5 - 6 inches high.

The thicker it is the harder it will be to roll over. Once the memory foam forms to the heat of you body. I had a 4" before and it was almost impossible to roll over.

Maybe if you had two. I prefer having two. But my husband is ok with one. I've had mine for a year and my high plush since February and they're both holding up perfectly. Although I do wish I'd gotten another firm because I don't like sinking into my pillow. :)

I use a thin pillow on top of it... it is a dense pillow. But that is because I like it a little thicker. I have slept on it for a couple months without the pillow on top....you get used to it. I like the support.

Kang often manufactures for all sorts of things have in size and or firmness specific designations listed. These things are even with the same designation in fact completely different. Pillows are no exception and due to their changing shape particularly difficult to measure. I measure this pillow at no wider than 17" and no longer than 28" but I could be a little off because I think it was a little longer and wider before it began to rise. It has a pretty thick loft. I don't have a scale to measure that low a weight but I would guess that It's under two pounds. My suggestion would be to contact the manufacturer. If you are having trouble with this. Amazon will be great at helping you with this. I would say that this pillow for me is alright but not extra firm as listed. Appprox. 20-25% short of that designation. Best of Luck to you Bob

Very full which some people could consider firm, but extremely soft. If that makes any sense. There is no hardness to the pillow. Very thick and deep.

Here's what I said in my review, "It may be thin relative to a standard king size pillow but is not even close to being really thin. " This is as thin a foam pillow I've found but it's still too thick for me. If anyone knows of one thinner, please reply to this query and let everyone know... Thanks

Not sure what constitutes heavy use of a pillow but it seems tough enough. I actually never used it because it was larger and heavier than I wanted my pillow to be for backpacking. I might start using it at the office!

It isn't very thin. In fact I am a side sleeper but prefer using this brands pillow made for sleeping on your back because it is much softer and a lot thinner and flexible, this pillow how ever has no give so you can not bend it, if you are like me and like to fold your pillow some times to fit the contour of your neck.

It's about 5 1/2" thick in the large central area. The 2" refers to the thickness the compressed pillow is when coming out of the box. It expands fully in a few hours. A confusing presentation for sure and a good question. It's a very comfortable pillow to me, a side and back sleeper. Be sure to look at the price differences for the different sizes and you can save big!

Yes, it IS hard, but eventually it softens up a bit. It is still firm, but after a week or so of sleeping on it, I love it to death. Since I sleep on my stomach mostly, I end up hugging the pillow to me so I am not just resting my head on the edge of it... when I am on my side, I also end up at the edge of it. Like Another reviewer said, I wish it were a little longer. Body-sized pillow? I would definitely buy it!

I'm a side sleeper. Very comfortable! I can't speak to trying it on your stomach. I have never done that.

It was too plush for me. I traded with a friend who purchased a different brand that was too firm for her. Great question and extremely important. The sellers should provide more info...even have a firmness scale that provides this key measurement. Who cares about 13 or 15 inches if its too plush or firm?

I had exactly the same complaint about my old pillow, and exactly the same dilemma as yours: which height and firmness I should specify for the new one. I'm also a (mostly) side sleeper. I believe the "right" answer will end up being a matter of personal preference. What worked for me may not feel right to you. That said, here's my experience: I rolled the dice and ordered the High and Firm pillow. I unpackaged it and thought "This thing is too big and hard" but I followed the manufacturer's reco and let it sit, unused, for a couple of days. Then I gave it a try and I found it to be perfect from Day One. 19 months later, I'm still loving the pillow.

I sleep on my side and find it a reasonably comfortable pillow. You should know it is firm, perhaps even hard in the sense that most stuffed pillows will gradually shift their stuffing, settling into the shape of your head. This one does not do that very much, it is not hard like a brick but neither does it let you sink into it very far. While I can not speak for others, I would expect that if you like a solid, slightly yielding pillow, this is for you. If your preference runs to the more squishy pillows you probably will not like it.

It's a close call (and I have limited experience with Memory Foam), but I'd say "Yes". Here's why: &gt; Memory Foam presents resistance merely because of its density... but it melts away when you put pressure on it. &gt; This latex pad is quite dense, but it actually pushes back on your hand. I'd say it presents as much *material resistance* as M.F., but *pushes back* about 2-3x harder than M.F. Suggest you get the 4", though, to really feel the difference.

It is pretty thick when you take it out of the package. A couple inches I feel, but I feel it went flat pretty quickly. I weigh 175lbs. and have a couple 8 - 11 lb. yorkies that sleep with me. It was okay, but I was looking for more plush than this. I think it is good, but just was looking for more.
