Why is the shipping weight 3x the pillows actual weight

No clue. It's been awhile since i purchased mine and it may have been overpacked, but I don't remember anything truly memorable. The pillow itself is dense. It was cold when mine arrived and I thought it was going to be like the other memory foam pillows, but when it warmed up, it got much softer. By far the best I've purchased and I think this is the fourth or fifth in my search for a wedge pillow that isn't too hard.

It is because the pillow is packed with packing materials in such a way that it doesnt get damaged in transit. Also the weight of the packing box also needs to be considered.

3.4 oz is the volume not the weight. I believe the actual weight for shipping would be close to 1 lb. I hope this helps. Blessings to you Today!

The first one I ordered had 3lbs on the box but they state it as heavier so they can charge more on the shipping. Since then they have started removing the weight from the shipping labels so not to get caught out on their scam.

Hello, these weigh 29 lbs, the shipping weight is higher because they are in boxes with packing material.

I'm sure it's dimensional pricing due to size of the shipment - they add weight to figure cost when size is large.

Hello Miss Inez,I bought two of these pillows as a gift for a friend, so I don't have them available to measure or weigh just now. However, they did appear to be the size and weight of "regular" pillows and the only difference I noticed was that they were delightfully soft and "squishy". I wonder if the "80x16x78" was a measurement using the metric system and "inches" was used mistakenly. Anyway, if you purchase them I think you will be happy and yes, they are a normal size and weight.

The shipping weight is one pound. The actual weight of the item is less than a pound, but Fedex rounds it up.

The shipping box weighs more than the product. Product weight is insugnificant

the shipping weight is 9# so the actual weight would be a little less than that........

it is related to the shipping costs. Shipping a box with 3+ lbs can vary in cost between $8 - $15 depending on which state.

The shipping weight is wrong unless you are getting 5 of them. You are right it is only 1.6 lbs sounds like it's off.

the "shipping weight" probably is just an error or a ups round-up or something. it is standard weight for a motorcycle helmet if not lighter than my other one. i have a normal sized head, and the medium is quite tight on me.

No, the actual item weighs 6.3 ounces. The shipping weight may be trying to account for dunnage and shipping box weight.

I would assume that there is a weight associated with the shipping information on Amazon. But its not too heavy. But you do need weights like sandbags to keep it sturdy.

Typically the queen pillows weigh around 3.5 to 4.0 pounds. They are stuffed with high quality memory foam so that adds weight when compared to traditional pillows or lesser quality foam pillows. Thanks for the question.
