Does the neck bolster part (for support for back sleepers) maintain its thickness? It looks like you have support sleepin on your side and your back.

it does..however it also makes the back of the neck sweat after a few hours.

It is very comfortable on either back, or side. I move around quite a bit, and its still supportive.

For me there is not enough bolster. I have discontinued use of this pillow. My dog seems to enjoy it though.

yes it sure did for me. I loved the pillow but it was just not for my neck pain/injuries. if it had been a shorter rise (low rise) I'd have kept it. it does not push down much when you sleep on it and it holds it's firmness. yet it's not hard like some foam pillows are. if they ever make a low rise pillow I'm going to get it as I really wanted to keep it. for a good neck it would be perfect.

I use this pillow as a side sleeper but sometimes on my back. I receive excellent support both ways. I would say that it would depend on a person's build though.

Yes, absolutely. I have had no issues with it getting flattened or losing its thickness. It maintains its shape the whole time. It has to be the most comfortable pillow I ever used, and I am a back sleeper due to really bad neck and back problems.

This and the Z pillow are the best I've ever purchase. Back sleepers might need a thin pillow underneath depends totally on you. I have this pillow on one side of bed and Z lavender pillow on other side. The Z pillow works great by itself when I sleep on my back or side. I purchased coconut, mint and lavender oils to rub in to pillow to recharge the scent. Either or both pillows work. If you only get one I'd say the Z pillow if back sleeping is what you do. I'm mostly side. Both have about same support Z pillow is thicker. I plan on buying 1 of each in near future.hope this helps.

As I recall, been several months, there is not actual support for the neck itself. When you lay back, the sides "pop up" around your head like pontoons which helps keep your head from flopping side to side too much. At least that's the way I remember it. Would have been nice to have had some sort of actual neck support.

Sure. I also sleep on my side and use a soft pillow (though - not down). The wedge isn't that long - it covers from the top of my head to my shoulders (approximately).

Nope, I've slept with it on many times. However, it depends on your normal sleeping position. Readjust it at night and loosen it up a bit and it actually helps you keep a good back posture as you sleep.

yes it keeps it's form and firmness well...I have had mine for over 6 months now and it is all I sleep on

I can't make any promises, Patricia. In the case of my own mattress it didn't appear to be sagging, but I could feel it when I would lay down on it. If your side is sunk in as you say, this memory foam topper may not give you all the support that you need. It might make it somewhat better, but then again it might not provide all the improvement that you need. You might be better off applying the cost of the topper towards a new mattress.

No, it keeps it's shape well through the night. It is a firm pillow, maybe too firm for some people. I personally like side sleeping with it though I tend to back sleep most of the time.

it most definitely conforms. i'm a heavier person, but even my kids sunk down in it a bit. it FEELS great, and yes, it does almost feel like you're in a comfortable supported position when lying down. i just noticed after a few nights that my hip and back felt worse....almost like when i attempted to roll over onto my stomach or side as i always sleep, is when i ran into issues.

As a side sleeper I can say that while it is firm it contours to you so you get even support. Your shoulder and hip will sink in to it so your back actually ends up in a good position despite the fact that it feels firm. It also softens up a bit where you sleep over the first month or so but not so much that it is a valley or anything. I would actually recommend it for a side sleeper.

I sleep on my side most of the time. One of the things I like about this pillow is that all of the little kernals of \pearlite or whatever it is inside generally hold on to one another. If I scrunch up the pillow so that it supports my head in a higher position, it does that well. It is not foamy or bouncy, so it allows me to lie still and thus helps itself hold the height I wanted it at. Later, if I want it higher or lower, I can almost always get it exactly where I want it. I have even used it to support my head while sitting on the airplane for long periods of time. It can also be smushed down if you want to lie on your back with your head only surrounded and in one place. Great pillow.

For me this pillow is huge. I am a back sleeper and could not use it at night, so thick this pillow is. It provides firm support that might be good for a side sleeper. I use it for support when I watch TV on my couch.

Hi Marilyn, this pillow is designed for great sleep on your back or side. The memory foam forms comfortably to your sleep position.

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.

It gives me really good support! I am a side sleeper who loves to lean both back or forward and I've been able to do both easily with this pillow and still wake up feeling great. :)

No it's broad flat and and very soft so I don't notice it. I sleep mostly on my side and stomach.

I sort of rotate front back and sides from time to time. The only thing I notice when I sleep on my stomach is that since the foam takes a certain weight to compress it doesn't give as much to my arms as the rest of my body. In other words my arms seem to more or less float while my torso sinks further. So if you're splayed out while you're sleeping you may end up with sore shoulders or something.

It's like a bag of beans... If you lay it flat, it will be of uniform thickness. If you bunch it up to one end or edge, it will be much thicker at that side and less thick at the other. It works well for side-sleeping.
