Is this a high or low profile pillow?

its high profile and I find if I am only sleeping on my side it is great. If I need to sleep on my back it is too high.

It looks high when you first get it. But, after sleeping on it a few times it goes down. Had mine for a couple months now, and it settled to mid way between high and low.

High loft is ~ 4 inches. Low loft is ~ 2 inches. I have osteoarthritis of the cervicals and hoped it would help. Still find it too firm for me, but it is a comfortable pillow.

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 would say this pillow is high to start, but it quickly broke down into more uneven, lumpy shape. I would not recommend buying it.

As you said, the photo is not a 100% accurate depiction of the pillow itself. I believe they wanted to accentuate the curves to show the shape of the pillow. No the V is not as prominent, but then again, I feel if it were too deep, it would be uncomfortable. Personally, I love this pillow. I have been using it for weeks. Sometimes I use the traction part, or rotate it for the support. If that end is too wide for you, just flip it over to the other side. This is the first of many pillows I have purchased that has not become a "cat bed". :)

I purchased high-loft firm because I am a side sleeper & have arthritis in my neck. I would guess the pillow is abour 7" high in middle, tapering to 4-5" near the edges. It has been great for my neck stiffness. If you're not used to firm pillows it may be a big adjustment for you.

The pillow is rounded and about 3" higher than the mattress at the highest point. It is as firm as the mattress. If the mattress is fully inflated and firm, the pillow will be firm. If the mattress is left a bit softer, the pillow will be softer too.

The pillow has about a 4 1/2 inch rise on one edge, and a 3 inch rise on the other. The higher side gives 100% support to the neck and skull, the lower side supports the neck and spine in-line, as a conventional pillow would, but with a bit more neck support. I find no problem at all switching from back to side using only the high side of the pillow. Best pillow I've slept on in sixty years!

I'm the same height as you and very petite, and have the same preferences as you. I loved my goose down pillow, but hated that I had to keep fluffing it. I purchased this pillow in "low loft, firm," and it's a little too firm for me. Also, I find that when I awake that I'm hardly on the pillow because it might still be a little too high. So I'm exchanging it for the "low loft, plush."

The standard pillow is 24 x 18 x 4 inches; the side sleeper is 23 x 17 x 2 inches; if you sleep on your side, you don't want a pillow that is too high, as it puts your neck at an incorrect angle. The side sleeper is a lower pillow, but is also good for sleeping on your back. It's just what you prefer; some people like to have their head up higher, especially those who suffer from gastric reflux issues.

Exactly how I use the pillow. It is a "thin" soft pillow that can be bunched into any configuration.

I would go with the soft pillow. If you like a higher support for your neck, choose the high loft. The low loft was perfect for me, but I have a memory foam bed which allows my shoulder to "sink" into the mattress, otherwise it would be too short for any support. So not knowing much about you, I would guess you would like a high loft, soft pillow....

My experience tells me that it is a soft initial firmness with a deeper firmness under the top layer. So, firm with a soft pillow feel.

NO. very comfortable. I tried one and finally ordered a second one. I got the high loft which was great. the low loft did not give enough support for me. felt like no pillow at all.

This is more than a "low" pillow...this is nearly flat. If youre looking for minimal support for head while you sleep on your side it may work. It also bunches together well if you need to bulk up a little support..

Not sure about low profile, but this is about 1/4 inch in thickness with both halves locked together.

The high loft firm was FIRM FIRM (lets just say a pillow fight could be considered attempted murder), it ended up being too tall even for me (I have somewhat broad shoulders for a woman standing at 5'9"). I ordered the low loft firm and I think it is a little too low for side sleeping, but it is PERFECT for sleeping on your back. As for the firmness, I think it's too low of a loft to get in plush, because your head would just sink down to the mattress. The firm in low loft is perfect. I definitely want to get the high loft plush for side sleeping, though. My husband is always trying to sneak over to my pillow, so I'm sure he'd love the "hand-me-over" :) I hope this helps!!
