I found mine to have the same firmness. The best advice I can give is to force yourself to try it for about 3 nights. You will either love it or hate it. Just take comfort in the return policy!

This is a very firm - but comfortable - pillow and will give you great support and a good night's sleep. I wish I had found it years ago. It will soften up just a tad more as time goes by, but still the most supportive pillow I've ever had.
3204
Glad to hear that, because mine was comfy right out of the box! I was going to say there must have been something very wrong with yours, until I came here and saw that yours was just very cold.
3205
Glad to hear it got better. I knew it was firm, but not too bad. Mine is pretty soft now too.
3206
The 4 of these pillows I have purchased have been a rather firm and heavy foam, and firmer than most regular pillows I've had, but definitely not "hard as a rock." They softened quite a bit after they warmed up from sitting outside in the box as well. Try it out for a couple of nights - I would return it for a replacement if it seems unreasonably hard.

my pillow was firm not hard. It was much firmer that a regular pillow. I have been sleeping on it for abouta month and with the exception of me wanting it to be longer I don't have any other problems
3208
I have found that it takes a little getting used to as all of my other pillows are soft and cushy. This pillow will cradle your head if you give it a chance, but I find that I start out sleeping with my head in the middle and wake up hugging the edge.
3209
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!

Is the pillow cold? Was it sitting outside on your porch in the middle of winter? Memory foam is notorious for getting rock solid when exposed to cold temperatures. Wait for it to warm up and test again. It should be softer. If this is not the case, then you might have a faulty product.Thank you for taking the time to read my answer; I hope it was helpful to you!

very firm , I like plush / medium soft My wife like hard , and this was even slightly firm for her for the 1rst week , it does break in and even I can sleep on it . I use a 1, maybe 2" gel topper for more comfort/ softness (I like my ribs and hips to sink in so my spine is strait since I am a side sleeper I weigh 165 my wife 160 so if your heavier it may be just right if your lighter then 165lbs then this will be to firm unless you like a firm almost very firm mattress . It is zero gravity when just laying on your back it does give you a floating sensation and is very relaxing ...

I slept in it one night, it was pretty comfortable. Even tho it is not meant for you to sleep in it. Is that the only way you can sleep? Have u tried using a couple of pillows and sleep on a bed?

I think it is very hard to judge this, for another person. I can tell you this though: I have severe spine problems and have found it impossible to be comfortable,for at least 13 year, since my accident. I have always slept on a firm mattress, because it was recommended by my orthopedist, but didn't feel comfortable. I decided to try the foam topper and can tell you that it has made a big difference in my level of pain. I sleep much better with it, though it doesn't change the level of firmness from the mattress. It just seems to form to my body,which relieves me. You will have to make the judgement about your changing weight and whether it is worth it to experiment. My decision was based on the need for relief and for me the price was worth it, to just try. It is costs a lot less than a whole new mattress, even though $200 + can be also be lot of money,for many of us! I am 73 yrs old and injured. I weigh about 140 lbs. I hope this info is helpful to you.....and best wishes to you and your baby!

It's pretty firm. My husband and I have talked about taking some stuffing out. I thought after a few months now that it would soften up, but no luck. It's hard for me to use on my head because many times I turn on my stomach, but it's great for me to sleep with on my side like in the product picture.

I don't recommend sleeping this way with this sort of pillow. I used to sleep like that until I started sleeping with buckwheat pillows. Once you get used to them they support you enough that you don't need to sleep like that.

I had a U pillow for over 10 years and I loved it. Unfortunately it started to lose it shape and I needed to replace it. I ordered this Comfort U Ttl body pillow months ago and already I find that the way I use it while sleeping (resting my arm & my leg over it every night) the stuffing inside the pillow is starting to get soft. My first pillow lasted a long time before that occurred but the way this pillow is holding up it will never last 10 years. Perhaps not even 2 years. i love the pillow, I love the concept, its just that the material used inside seems to be going flat way too soon for what I spent on the pillow. Hope this helps.

This one is soft, it's been awhile since I had mines, it wasn't firm enough, it was to soft to me, I like mines firm like a travel neck pillow to support my neck, I had to stuff more crap unit to make it firm, to soft to me, you can take some stuffing out to better suit your needs..

It's not soft as normal mattress. That's the reason I got this one. I had been searching for a mattress that is firm enough to relieve my back pain. I used to get a platform made of several pieces of hard wood and put a comforter (made of cotton) on it. That was very firm and sometimes can be a little bit uncomfortable. This one is thick with good balance between softness and firmness. When it came, it was a little bit too puffy that I thought. But it gets better after some days. It is stuffed with cottons and very heavy. I'm satisfied with the quality of this mattress and would recommend to anyone who is looking for a mattress that is good to your back. So far, this is my favorite mattress. It's not soft as normal mattress. That's the reason I got this one. I had been searching for a mattress that is firm enough to relieve my back pain.

No. The pillow is firm and at first I was mad about the pillow but a few weeks after I have been sleeping w it, I love it! It becomes so soft and formed to ur head or body( depending how u sleep) for the price it is def something to try and if u like u could always buy more once you feel comfortable that it was a good investment. ( n NO I do not work w this company. I am just happy about the results of this pillow and w my neck not being sore when I wake up.)

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.

I believe you would still find the bed very firm. It is on my son"s bed and he described it like this yesterday, "if I lay there long enough, it will mould to my body but if I roll over, I feel like I am on a table.". I believe we will be removing the topper this weekend. He finds the mattress softer without it. spend a little bit more money and get a better quality one

To be perfectly honest with you, I purchased this for my 84yr. old mother, to help keep her neck from hurting when she would fall asleep watching the t.v. She HATED IT. My daughter used it on a trip to Hawaii, and could not use it because it was VERY uncomfortable, she felt like it was strangling her, and had to take it off. Your neck size sounds about like her neck size, same as mine. I would say, save your money and just use a small pillow. I could have gotten my money back, but would have had to pay for the shipping, and had paid enough already. That's "our" honest opinion, hope it helps.

I purchased an XL. It didn't work for me at all. I tried it for 2 nights and then had my husband try it. It didn't work. I just went to my Amazon account and went to the Section for returning something. I printed up a return label, including postage, and sent it back to Amazon. They reimbursed the purchase price. I did buy another one of these pillows, just in a smaller size. It has worked fantastic. My problem is shoulder pain and this pillow allows me to sleep on my side without having any pain. It has really been a miracle pillow for me. But if it doesn't work for you, you can return it and get a full refund. Best of luck!

It is only starting to warm up here in CT but I have no doubt there will be no problem. I do not open my window at night in the cooler weather so I'm sleeping in 72 degree temperatures. Never have I had to flip My Pillow or fluff it for any reason, unlike standard pillows. Since purchasing My Pillow I have been sleeping the entire night which I have not been able to do in years.

I haven't tried, but how did you open the pillow? The filling feels nice and fluffy, but couldn't tell you what's inside there. After 4 straight days of use, the filling is just as fluffy as it was brand new.
