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..

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.

The high loft in the center is approximately 6" and tapers down to the edges. The low loft is half that at 3" and tapers down to about an inch and a half. I use the high loft to prop up in bed and as a side sleep pillow. If you're back sleeper the low loft might be more comfortable. Depending on your frame and shoulder width. Hope that helps!

I would recommend the plush for softness, I ordered the plush high loft and it was perfect for me. I had ordered the low loft in the memory foam,and it was VERY thin. Unless you prefer a very thin pillow, I would go with the high loft. good luck!

Hi Pat! That is what we did ! We are thinking that we need to make our bed softer (we have that option as we went with the zippered option.) we chose the level 8 but as we are side sleepers, might like more loft... Anyway, you may certainly use your box springs. Regards-B&B.; P.S. This is a great mattress.

I would say no to stomach sleepers. It is high loft, but squishes down part way for back sleeping and good for side sleeping. So thin - no, soft - yes, plush - partially, firm - partially - high loft - yes

Well OK, it is firm and plush. With the pillow top. I'm about 260 lb. And I didn't have any sinking issues. At I did find myself not using any pillows to sleep so the bed can better contour my body. Once it off the bed it breaths. And regain shape and comfort. I think you'll like it. Good luck. Remember one getting a new mattress let your body get used to it

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 got the ultra-plush soft mattress and I would not recommend it. It is too too soft and after 9 months, we can't sleep on it anymore.

my husband and I have both spent time on our kids beds for stories and snuggles at bed time and we both agree that it is very firm. Talkin' wake you up you're so uncomfortable if you happen to doze off kind of firm. Hope that helps!

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.

I agree with Chris. My bed is really firm and also new, and I find the topper makes it more comfortable. It's a medium amount of "squish," so if you want an ultimate pillowtop feel, maybe go with a thick all memory foam topper.

There are different lofts high loft is pretty high, you can get it in firm or plush both are same height approx 5 1/2 inches tall. Low loft is approx 3 1/2 inches tall.

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.

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.

I sleep on my side most of the time. My mattress was new, but too firm and a bit warm. This makes it very nice.
