They say firm but what does that really mean? I write pretty hard and my pencils take a beating will these pencils?

I love them - write hard too and do all of my work with pencils, my absolute favorite.

It is a firm soft if that makes sense. It is not hard at all. I love this pillow!

It has a rough grip, mainly so that the pencil does not slip from your hand. I use the pencil for long periods without discomfort.

The bristles are firm,but not soft. They perform as any quality brush would.

I'd say they are firm but not hard. They are great for my soft wood floors.

I honestly don't know. I do know they are a "softer" pick, meaning they are a thinner and more flexible pick if that's of any help to you.

I think they would work. They are a little squishy, but they would probably be OK unless you're looking for something that's very firm.

Yes, they are firm and kept shape. I prefer pillows that lose shape so I can mold due to my neck. These did not lose shape, I gave them to my daughter who loves them!

Uh Oh! A subjective answer is: They lean towards the hard side. Bristles flex easily but are firm. Sorry this isn't a clean cut answer.

Hi, John .. Yes these are a bit difficult to get solid color.. the lead is medium hard. I know that doesn't really help much, I enjoy using them . but I am only using them for fun .. nothing serious. I have used a lot of colored pencils and these are the second best I have tried. The other brand I LOVE is Staedtler .. but I have only found them in 24 colors. I found them in a Michaels on clearance .........never had seen Staedtler pencils before.. always markers.. they are just a tiny bit softer and the colors are so true . Hopes this helps.. !!!

I liked the pens because they were firm. The ink flows easily without appling any pressure. I have a heavy hand and I didn't notice any change on the heads. The ink is bright and solid it will go through paper if you go over to many times in one area. The pens are not like normal pens they are more like a sharpi. They were worth the price.

Hello Jorge, happy new year. I believe the set is pretty sturdy, but I do try to protect it. I don't think pens/pencils would do any damage. The only damage I've had so far came from someone knocking over a chair (a small splinter came off). Smudges do show on the dark surface, but this usually happens on dark surfaces any way :). I have so far been very happy with the product, splinter and all.

I wish I could help you, but I purchased the pencils as a gift for my children in college. They like them.

I am not sure, but the ones I got from Amazon were the best pencils I've written with in a long time.

I've never had a problem with them getting firm. These are a little more solid than the Bassett brand but they're still pretty tender even after being in the TARDIS cookie jar for a few weeks.

Well, I don't really know how firm latex pillows are, but I wouldn't classify these as "firm" pillows. They are full, but I think they're pretty soft.
