I like it. Used it for my cross country bicycle trip with no problem. I was a lot more comfortable with it than I would have been without it.

The material is thick and has held up during field use in conjunction with the Klymit Static V sleeping pad . That said, I still wouldn't sleep with it directly over any sharp object.

The pillow is quite robust, definitely not flimsy. Whether it's worth buying is a personal matter.

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!

to me it is not heavy, although I am a side sleeper, and I have been folding the corner over to sleep on it. The pillow goes flat pretty quick to me.

It really does not fluff. It is made to be firm and that is the reason I bought it.It is as firm today as the day I got it. I don't like to sink into the pillow. If you don't likefirm, return it, it wont unfirm.

I have used it as a head pillow but it doesn't really support my head like I would like, it isn't too thick it just isn't that firm, as a body pillow and for the price it's perfect. Hope this helps.

I use this pillow constantly but every persons back issues are unique. I tend to sleep in a somewhat upright /sleeping position and do not use this item that way very often but sometimes the pillows in hotels are inadequate and it certainly helps when that is the case. But the pillow in full inflation is only about 3/4 of an inch thick, maybe an inch tops. Also the surface is a touch smooth. I would be sure to put a piece of cloth over it if sleeping on it that way. And the thickness may not be enough for your particular needs.

The pillow is about 3-4 inches thick and it keeps it shape. No fluffing needed. I love this pillow and refuse to sleep without it. By the way, I'm not even pregnant. I just love the stability that this pillow provides. Men & Women can use it.

It is well-stuffed but very light-weight. So, it is firm as long as you have it propped up against the wall/headboard. I have had it 1 month only but it hasn't gotten flat yet.

It is medium firm when you get it. It will soften up a bit during use. But never really a soft pillow. Supports the neck very well.

The pillow is not super firm - and it does "soften up" over time. At 54" long, this is definitely a body pillow. I sleep with it full length against my body for hip, knee and back support - I don't think it's meant to be used as a pillow for head/neck support. Hope this helps.

I think depends on weight. I can say that it is very firm and soft at the same time, very well made. Great for a kid or light weight adult. I'm 300lbs and it is comfortable for me to lay on but probably would start to lose shape after a while. I bought this for my daughter and she loves it more than a expensive pillow top.

Not sure how it compares compares to the other pillow your referring to but I purchased this for my 225# husband for his back problem and he loves it. We tried bed and throw pillows that were too bulky but this one seems to be just right. Hope this helped.

The pillow is very thick. I have only slept on mine for 4 nights and am still getting used to it. I think last night was better.

I think it's great for a back sleeper. It also holds its shape well. I've had mine for about 6 months now and it doesn't even show signs of wear yet.

Yes, this pillow is heavy. I have really enjoyed mine and so has my husband so we intend to buy more in the future.

I have just needed this for your very question as I torn my meniscus in my knee and am going to be having surgery. I have now been using this pillow every night just for this purpose for over a week now. It is firm yet soft it has been perfect for me. I hope that answers your question and that it will work for you.

I would not recommend it. It opens into a narrow bed and it is quite hard. I slept on it with a foam padding and it was OK for me. I am quite slender so it was all right for a night or two. I use it as a spare when I have sleepover guests.

Compared to pillows marked as "Firm", I would say, no, this is not firm. This pillow flattens with use and can be folded in half which is what I do when I sleep on my side, and I sleep on my side almost all the time. Strange as the folding pillow sounds, I love this pillow. It definitely feels cool. In my Floridian house everyone kept using my pillow so everyone now has their own Iso Cool.
