low loft/high loft: how do I know if I want high loft or low loft?

buy both and return the one you don't like. Pillows are trial and error until you find the one you like.

I had exactly the same complaint about my old pillow, and exactly the same dilemma as yours: which height and firmness I should specify for the new one. I'm also a (mostly) side sleeper. I believe the "right" answer will end up being a matter of personal preference. What worked for me may not feel right to you. That said, here's my experience: I rolled the dice and ordered the High and Firm pillow. I unpackaged it and thought "This thing is too big and hard" but I followed the manufacturer's reco and let it sit, unused, for a couple of days. Then I gave it a try and I found it to be perfect from Day One. 19 months later, I'm still loving the pillow.

I can't see too many people liking the low loft to be honest. Firm and high loft gives the best support IMO.

I installed mine in a 16x24 great room with cathedral ceiling on a 6' down rod. It makes a nice breeze on the lowest setting, and is a dramatic visual addition to the room. The CFM rating as well as the installation height both affect the "feel" of the air movement, so go with whichever fan you prefer the look of. BTW, if your ceiling is sloped significantly, you will need the steep ceiling adapter bracket.

Matter of preference. Experiment and find your comfort zone. Personally, when on my side, my head is on the edge of pillow... not in the hole.

I start out sleeping on my left side and use the high loft plush. As I change positions, this pillow is always comfy. We have the high loft firm, too, but use it when watch tv. Sorry I can't really compare anything other than these two and I love the high loft plush.

I'm more of a side sleeper that's why I purchased a high loft plush, a low loft would be perfect for stomach sleeper, not as high so as to keep the your neck and spine perfectly aligned. Also this pilllow will not sink flat, will sink to certain level and remain solid, excellent pillow.

I'm not sure about "low loft" but they are not too thick. I don't like pillows too thick or too thin. I am pleased with them.

If you're on a tight budget or if you dislike the initial stiff feel of medium and high-density memory foam mattresses, then a low-density memory foam mattress may be the right choice. I love my memory foam mattresses. Low is just as good as medium or high. Hope this helps you.

It depends what size your bed is . For example : if your bed is a queen then you would choose for a queen size bed etc.

I also usually sleep on my side (sometimes back, never stomach) and I got the high loft and love it. My neck feels very well supported and the plushness of the pillow allows your head to sink into it comfortably without keeping your neck up at a weird angle or making your ear feel squished.My only other tip would be to make sure you get king size pillow cases. These pillows are long and stick out of normal size pillow cases. Not a big deal since the cover is nice and soft, but it annoys me.

Actually that is exactly what I bought it for and what I was looking for. I prefer the noisier the better. I generally use mine on the second setting and I have a relatively medium size master bedroom. I love it!

I tried both. This (older) model is much richer and powerful, though still intended for smaller spaces; single rooms, etc.

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..

Yes and yes! I believe it has 3 loft options...plus the head cover looks nice

I tried it both ways. It seemed to look better with the design facing up. Also, some beds may be longer than others which may determine what looks best.

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.
