Can anyone tell me what the real difference is between the side sleeper and standard version? Is it just length and width or is it thickness as well?

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.

I can not tell you about the 8 inch version but from everything I have read the thicker the foam mattress the softer it should be. Hope this helps

Overall size is standard 24x16". Tallest thickness is 5" on sides. Note the surface has sewn partitions. Center for back sleeping (1" hi); side raised for side sleeping position. Both bordered by cervical roll of two different circumferences. Too big?? Wouldn't fit into std pillow case. Two wouldn't fit on twin bed. Too thick which made neck bend. Filler material wouldn't stay in place properly. None of this should be a problem with the 200. However, it is stuffed firmly full. So much so that it is like trying to keep your cheek balanced on a padded rolling pin when side sleeping. Maybe the 220 Gentle would help this.

The sleep system as manufactured only comes in standard or long length, the width is the same for both. Not sure what the sellers have for inventory, you would need to contact them to find out what they have in stock.Full specs on the system are here:http://www.tennierindustries.com/RFI%20Component%20info.pdf

I'm not using mine any more. I am a side sleeper, but the problem I had was it made the bed too soft and my back started hurting. But that's just me. I purchased a solid genuine Dupont 2" foam topper that that worked out better for me.

I am also a side sleeper and it doesn't bother me. The gel is broken into squares with small indentions. You can only feel them without the pillow case. They are not deep and do not interfere with my sleep. With a pillow case its like a regular foam pillow that just feels cool against skin. Hope this helped!

I get the standard support pillow. I am 5'6" and 140 pounds and it works great for me. There are two sides....a thicker side and and smaller side. Dependent on which I need is what I sleep on. If you have a chance to go by chiropractors office to "take a look" do. However, order from Amazon, these are the BEST prices. Great pillow and really helps my neck and with sleeping. Good luck

Hi! It's a mattress, but a thin one (compared to your standard crib). About an inch and a quarter maybe? My baby had no trouble sleeping on it and it's MUCH better than the mattress it comes with. We loved her co-sleeper situation- it saved my sleep, our sanity, and our nursing relationship!

I have always used the Tri-core pillow, standard size, and have always been happy with it. I lay on my back and side and it works beautifully, no neck issues. Hope this helps

I have the 12" for my bed and the 8" for guests. My mother is a side sleeper, and she slept great on this bed! Since it conforms to your body, it gives great support. You will not need two pillows!

this pillow is for any type of sleepers, I own four of these , I gave my grandson one & he took it to college, I also got him another one for his bed ,when he comes home to visit during break time. I bend this pillow any way, I'm a side sleeper. I had surgery some months ago and I was able to bend it for my comfort at the time. I love it!

I have one of each.. The low firm is perfect for stomach sleeping and the high soft is very good for side.. I use them interchangeably.. I've had mine over a year and they're still exactly the same as when they came out of the bag..

I went with the thicker mattress for my TT. The down side of that is it makes getting into bed a little difficult due to the increased highth from the floor. TTs have a storage area under the bed. Great sleep!

I own a 3 inch and a 2 inch. My 2 inch is in the guest room and i have to say... it would work well for a back sleeper but the 3 inch is very comfortable (on my bed) for the side sleeper. It also depends on the size of the individual. My guess would be the heavier the person.. the thicker the pad? My husband is 190 pounds and the 2 or 3 inch works great.

The thickness (from bottom side that lays on bed to top of pillow on which sleeping person's head lays) is about 3.75 inches on both sides. The smaller edge (what I use) on top side of the pillow (the side on which the sleeping person lays) is about 3.75 inches (fits the length of my neck perfectly), and the larger edge is about 5.25 inches wide (would be for a taller person with a longer neck than mine). My old whiplash injury would give me constant grief if it weren't for this wonderful pillow!

Not much!!! 2 inches thicker. I bought my daughter the 12 inch and it is just as comfortable as 13 inch. I had to move my daughter to Florida for grad school . Long story short couldn't fit her matress and box spring in truck. I didn't buy box springs. She has a platform bed. We both love our matress !!! Good luck

I still have the one that I had from some 30 years ago. It hasn't fallen apart yet and it doesn't smell or anything. I don't remember when the other one died but it's been gone awhile and I think it went into the dryer or something one to many times and just crumbled. That was in the days when I put everything in the dryer. The one's I bought in the last few years I hope to last me the rest of my life. But I don't have a specific answer for you. But I will say this..shop around...these pillows can be found under various names with different covers but they are all quite similar and the savings can be over $100 a pillow. Next there are what they call lofts (how firmly the pillow will hold your head) and also thicknesses which are more important for how you sleep. A side sleeper usually needs a higher pillow while a back sleeper needs a lower pillow but probably more firm. I myself am a side sleeper and I like the medium density (loft) when I can find it. The firm are too intense for me. I've bought high loft plush queen size and I've bought high loft medium queen size and I've bought low loft plush queen size and I'm happy with all of them but my favorite is the high loft medium which are hard to find. I've only ever returned the firm ones.
