How thick is this pillow? (inches) Is it okay for back sleeping? I am a smaller woman.

I think it would be fine for a back sleeper. You can manipulate it's size and fluff it or make it a bit flatter. I use two of the travel size pillows together, but I prefer a ticket pillow, while someone like my husband works think it's too much. I love the my pillow but I know it's not unanimous as some Co workers have returned theirs. I go hope this is helpful. At leas if you decide to try you're not stuck with it if it's not you're type.

The pillow is pretty thick and hard...too hard for me. I have never used it and have been wanting to sell it on Craigs List. I have had neck surgery and have always liked using a thin down pillow that I could bunch up under my neck for support where I needed it. Want to buy my pillow at a good price?

Originaly it was about 3-4 in. thick. I opened it up , and took half of the stuffing out. Now about two in. thick. and then I mush it out of the center, into each half. so there is not much under my head. I sleep on my bcak, and I am hap[py with it.

Good for travel. Not good for back sleeping. Good to put between legs. About 4" thick.

I disliked the pillow. It is hard as a rock. I sleep on my back & it did not work for me. Costco has a pillow that is firm, but it can still fit under the neck & gives good support. I do not recommend My Pillow at all.

I have 2 travel pillows and 2 regular, my girlfriend has the same, she sleeps every night on the travel, I use the regular one. Pillows are great, customer service is the worst. You can always call the company, if you are buying they will help you all they can.

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

Sorry, we had to return the pillow because it was too large for my little mother.I don't think from looking at it that it would be comfortable for sleeping. More for sitting.

Pillow's dimensions are: 23" x 13". Thickness is 3" on narrow edge and 4.5" on the thicker edge. Pillow has a rounded, six-inch wide depression on the top, along the thicker edge, to provide neck support for back sleepers.

I think that this pillow is okay for someone who sleeps on their back. I have only use it for one week. However, I do like the firmness of the large pillow that I bought.I think the quality is much better then the average pillow. I thinks it okay for side position sleeping as well. I do like this pillow as my main pillow head rest.

I got rid of mine... I'm 6'4" I loved this pillow for sleeping on my side but on my back it caused my neck to hurt as it was too tall. I bought the largest size and I probably should have bought one size smaller as I could have gone either way based on how they tell you to measure.

I sleep on my back or side so I'm unable to give you any guidance. I really like this pillow and don't know why it wouldn't be comfortable for those sleeping on their stomach too.

Hello Ozog! I measured it especialy for you))) Neck support area is not same thick everywhere))) Yes. From one side let's say it's bottom for me, so for my neck: right in the middle it's 3,5" and at the sides it's 4 1/4" (which is exactly my shoulder side). So when I sleep on my back it's lower and when I sleep on my side I just turn to one of sides and my shoulder relax too. But if you're man you'll enjy to turn it upside down and you'll sleep on side which is opposite to my bottom) Measurments there are 4" in the middle and 5 1/4" at the sides. Thus man shoulder will relax too. Sorry for mistakes, I always in hurry when typing. I can just add to my previous wow that time passed and I still think it's the best solution for my neck. And it's universal for man and woman. So you can turn it and find your comfortable side. If you buy it, you'll be very surprised about it shape. This picture doesn't show sides. Sellers do not realize that they could sell much more if they show sides.

I'm a back sleeper and this pillow is great. Helps me stop snoring. This pillow will hold your head up so doen't sound like you want this one its about 5 - 6 inches high.

I have two of these pillows and have had them for quite awhile. I measured the two ends which should be more like their original size. They measure 2 to 2 1/2 inches thick. I wanted a really thin pillow so it wouldn't flex my neck forward. It fits right in that sweet spot between my neck and shoulder. I got the second one so that if something happened to the first I wouldn't be without it.

Kim I think it all depends on personal preference and your size. If you look for my review, you'll see a very comprehensive description of this pillow. I even give measurements. I'm 5'3" and my husband is 6'. He found it comfortable to sleep on his back with his head in the middle but couldn't sleep on his side. I couldn't get comfortable because of neck problems laying on my back. Although it was fairly comfortable on my side, it still didn't give me the neck support I needed so the pillow is now a back rest when I'm sitting up in bed. The pillow is too wide across to fit under my neck. Again I suggest you read my review. Good luck.

I am a tummy sleeper as well, and have found my pillow is a bigger problem than the bed. I don't sink into this bed much at all (it's nicely supportive) so my back/neck is more bothered when my pillow is too thick. I've found a thin pillow is best to avoid the arching that causes aches and pains. I use a hull pillow so I can adjust the thickness, and between that and this bed my back has given me very little trouble.

It's about 4 inches thick....I do not think its that comfortable, however I bought it for my husband and he LOVES it.

The pillow I received is apparently different. It is approximately six inches thick and it is firm. It compresses to about 2-3 inches with weight. I don't think I would give it to a 2 yr. old, maybe to a 4 yr. old. I got it for an arthritic knee so it is okay for me.

It isn't very thin. In fact I am a side sleeper but prefer using this brands pillow made for sleeping on your back because it is much softer and a lot thinner and flexible, this pillow how ever has no give so you can not bend it, if you are like me and like to fold your pillow some times to fit the contour of your neck.
