How does the weight of this pillow compare to non-foam pillows?

Without having a scale to test it, I'd venture a guess that this is at least 3x heavier. It is a noticeable difference. But you don't notice it while using it.I definitely wouldn't want to get clocked in the face in a pillow fight with this.

It is somewhat heavier, but it needs to be cause it is a good orthopedic method for your neck. I use to get up more than 4 times at night after surgery from sweating, or getting hot, but now, I only get up once a night. Great pillow.

It is much heavier. Maybe 3 times the weight of a regular pillow. Still not too heavy to turn around, if needed.

Im not 100% since i only bought the Standard support. But i beleieve it has to do witht he Fill density. The standard support is firm, similar to how a memory foam pillow would feel, but with the added benefit of the contours

It isn't foam and is pretty thick. It is not like a mattress on a bed however and it is firm when you lay on it.

I guess the best answer I can give for this is that regular memory foam feels "dryer" or "crisper" to me. It's still squishy, but you don't sink into the bed as much and it has a little bit more resistance. This gel infused one feels more dense and that makes it more squishy for some reason. I like it much better than the regular memory foam.

I would say this pillow is about 5" thick around the outside and does not squish down hardly at all.

This pillow is 1/2 memory foam and 1/2 fiber fill. From my own experience, that's the beauty of it. I like a bit of a flat pillow, as I'm a side sleeper. My husband on the other hand, likes a fatter pillow and is a back sleeper. This little gem is perfect for both of us. I sleep with the foam side up. He sleeps with the fill side up. We've had ours about a month, and from the first night they were heaven. One more thing, it doesn't get hot. I have a hard time sleeping on pillows that do. Just so you know, I don't have anything to do with the company and am not paid in any way for this. It is just my honest viewpoint on this pillow. This pillow is 1/2 memory foam and 1/2 fiber fill.

The pillow is not memory foam (dense and heavy). It is filled with cubes of low density foam. It compresses easily and resumes its original shape when released.

Not more than a few pounds. All it is is a glorified chunk or foam. But it will fit me for sleeping in a pinch. I am 5'3".

The foam is firm, but not like a rock. I got the idea while visiting my physical therapist for therapy. I like it a lot, and use it for occasional afternoon naps. It takes stress off your back, which feels good..

The Ball feels like it has a more thick consistency, but isn't heavy. It stays inflated better than ones I have purchased from Target. I really don't feel like it is weighted. (I don't think it is heavy when picking it up)

The pillow weighs about five pounds. I've been using it for several months and I'm very happy with it so far.

Dont know exact weight but the pillow is heavy enough to offer great support and light enough to throw around and easily transport

I agree, the pillow is great but it is more like a memory foam and does not squish that well

The pillow is not made of foam. The outside cover is some type of puffy soft stuff and the inside padding looks to be covered in plastic. I remove the pillow' after each use to let it dry so as not to mold or mildew. Hope this helps.

Well I don't have a definitive scale for you it is much firmer than either feather or poly fill .A good comparison may be a couch pillow firmness. I initially purchased the firm and thought it was too firm and then purchased a soft version. I now have switched back to the firm pillow and prefer it. My soft pillow has become my exercise pillow when I'm on the floor and need to make sure I keep my neck properly aligned. Since I had been using feather pillows for years I initially didn't think I liked these pillows but, I trusted my PT's opinion and now know they are very beneficial. You decide on give it a few days before you pass judgement. Good luck.

I'm not sure of the weight but doesn't Amazon give that? It's certainly not heavy. I use it on airplanes so I don't pack it, just stick it in a carryon. I love it. Much cooler than a foam pillow.

The bottom of the pillow is flat, the top of the pillow has two supportive humps, one side is smaller than the other and firmer than the other. I have to use the smaller side, the bigger side gives me a headache. I got my first pillow like this, this brand, through a chiropractor and now it's the only one I can sleep on. For me, they will last for about 3 years before I replace them, but that's me. It's not a memory foam where is sinks down, it's a foam, but it's a very supportive foam. I highly recommend this pillow, but keep in mind, different things work for different people. Good luck and if I can answer anything else, just ask and I will do my best!!
