I find the high loft firm might be a little high for sleeping on side. I dont know what to get the high loft plush or low loft firm? any suggestions?

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..

Have not read that, but as a stomach sleeper who has owned this pillow for a while, it's quite different from normal fill pillows. The best comparison would be to a plush and soft pillow. It's a bit of a higher loft (thickness of pillow) than I would like for a stomach sleeper pillow, but packs down nicely (I have a large and heavy head, ymmv). One unexpected thing is that it does not breathe as well as fill pillows, so as a result, you may experience some earwax buildup. I adjusted my sleep position slightly to be closer to the edge of the pillow. Overall, still a good product and I get to sleep without problem 99.9% of the time.

I have purchased MANY of these pillows. I buy the low loft plush (for me) and the high loft plush (for my husband). I would call the plush version medium firm for both the low loft and the high loft. Since I have not purchased the low or high loft firm pillows, I cannot speak about those. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these pillows. I think they are the best pillow out there!

My bed is called the Iseries Merit. It is almost impossible to compare mattress as they change the names and maybe even some design features. When I checked out what the Bradbury is, it does not look like mine. I do have the pillow top, and I would consider the mattress sort of firm, but not like being on the floor. I bought mine Sears.

I have a new pillow top mattress. Ashley, the company concierge will contact you when you purchase the pad and will answer any concerns. A very nice, small company owned concern. The sides are generous fit with elastic fit bands. Don't think you will have too much of a concern, but I'm sure you can return without much fuss.i am very happy with mine.

I believe you would need a high loft. My husband is a side sleeper and I bought him the high loft. He loves it. I am a stomach sleeper and i purchased the low loft. It was perfect for me.

I sleep on my side as well. I have had my pillow now for several months. It works wonderfullly. I use any type of pillow case. Cotton breathes the best and is soft on your skin however you can use any pillowcase you like. I got the standard /queen size. It is more standard than queen. if you like a larger pillow you can use the king but i have found this size to be perfectly sized for side sleeping. hope this helps

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.

I would suggest sticking with a spring mattress if you are concerned about weight/sagging. If you notice the store floor models of the solid "memoryfoams" they all have a bit of a sink from people just testing them --- I went with a combo model - individually wrapped coils/springs with only the outer layer memory foam. for us it was much better and breathes more cooler.

This is perry thin, and just cotton, so it is pretty firm. I also have mine directly on the floor, but I've also got a 2" memory foam layer on top. With the MF, it's not too bad for side sleeping.

I bought this one because it had more of a fluffier padding on top.. Since the other one was pretty much flat with no padding... This one make my boys mattresses feel soft and to me feels more comfy. hope i helped you! :)

What is considered supportive or comfy is so subjective. Those were pretty much my requirements also, and I chose the 6. I am in love with my bed! Talk to Chuck about your sleeping habits and he will help you choose the right bed for you.

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."

I think the low loft is best for sleeping on your back. That's what I have and love it for that, it is too low for side sleeping though. Doesn't seem like your problem though! ;)

I would go with high loft plush personally. The low loft is only about 5-6 inches. However, you may prefer a thinner pillow. If so, I would recommend low loft firm. The low loft plush is just simply to soft and thin. I bought a low loft plush for my daughter-in-law, she did not like it... To thin and to soft. Hope my rambling helps your decision.

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.
