Are these pillows soft as advertised or are they firm (hard)?

They aren't hard. They are firm and comfortable. I have neck problems, and these pillows are just the right size. They fit under the crook of my neck and give me good neck support. I hope I have answered your question.

They are medium in terms of strength, but soft to the touch (material on the outside).

I am using them for dining room chairs in lumbar They are really soft to touch & a bit squishy YET firm for your lower back I love the quality & touch of fabric ( suede) and dirt resistant so far

This one is soft, it's been awhile since I had mines, it wasn't firm enough, it was to soft to me, I like mines firm like a travel neck pillow to support my neck, I had to stuff more crap unit to make it firm, to soft to me, you can take some stuffing out to better suit your needs..

These are firm but not hard. They have some give, would probably be comfortable to get rid of a knot in your back.. Hmmm Im gonna have to try that!

Down. I don't like them myself. They are too firm for me. I'm sure they will soften up so need to just keep using them.

They are soft. I have queen size pillow cases and these are a little bigger but when you put the pillows in the cases it squeezes the pillow together and makes the pillow perfect for your head.

Yes, like everyone says they are 'soft' they are comfy, HOWEVER they are not 'cool' when sleeping on. They're pretty thick and nice though. I have others that are 50% the price that are cool, not plasticy sounding, and work well. Oh! If you have feather pillows that poke through stuff these work great.

The pillows are firm.. You have to pile them up. At least 2. They feel hard alone

The lower cushions are quite thick and surprisingly comfy! I would say they are a 3 - right in the middle of soft and firm.

Firm...but not harshly so. Difficult to characterize as soft, but perhaps "medium" firm is closer.

It is medium firm when you get it. It will soften up a bit during use. But never really a soft pillow. Supports the neck very well.

It's soft yet firm. Your head won't totally sink into it, which is why I like it. If you want a very very soft pillow, you might not like this.

Those pillows are not very hard but with the 2 of them, it will do the job. I also have a trick to make them more hard: just put them in a standard size pillow cover and they'll be firmer. Sorry for bad english.

These are very soft thin pillows. Provide little neck support. Not sure they would suit as thet become very flat when laid on

I like them. I purchased the extra firm due to many reviews stating that they lose firmness. They do lose firmness but mine are at the perfect place now. I've had them for a few months and love them.

I don't have feathers coming out. Nonetheless, these are not firm pillows. They are soft. Have yours gone flat on you. I worry about these pillows, since I just got them 1/2/2014.

No they are hard. I do not recommend . There are better products that are soft .

I used these pillow inserts on a couch, but only for docorative purposes. The material is polyester, which is relatively soft, and perhaps softer than you prefer. I would suggest looking into a foam rubber material. I'm not exactly certain of the firmness you are looking for. I do enjoy mine however. Good luck!
