Is the whole thing made of memory foam? I found the regular wedges too hard to sleep on. Will this be softer than the regular foam wedges?

It does appear to be 100% memory foam. I found that I have to use one of those small neck rolls along with the wedge, or to hang my head off the high end of the wedge to feel correct neck support. Can't say much about the hardness of those regular wedges. Please, consider that this wedge may give off a chemical odor. I don't like mine for that reason. Maybe time will fix that.

I found it very unsatisfactory for our needs. I'd ship you mine for the cost of shipping. Jeanne

The wedge is made of the same material all the way through. I can't compare it to "regular foam wedges" since I don't have one. I found it to be soft enough to be comfortable and firm enough not to compress to an unusable height.

The wedge is fairly firm. It is very difficult to stay on it because of the firmness. I slide down all night.

It is great! It took a bit of time for me to get used to it, but it is the best wedge that I have ever tried. The only problem is that I find myself sliding down to the mattress and have to keep pushing myself up to the top of he wedge. The sliding may be caused by my silk pillowcase, but I will not give that up, as it prevents hair breakage. So, . . . .

It is firm but not sleeping on the floor. The only problem is that the memory foam dose not retract fast when you move from one spot to the other

It 's not real hard, enough for support and not leave any impression on cushion after taking my legs off of it, after all its for support. :) maybe a comparison to those swim noodles, (made of foam) not really hard, but can still float and not hurt when your hit with it. if this helps some.

It is small chucks of memory gel foam, packed inside a case. The pillow I have feels like a memory foam pillow, but is looser than the single piece foam pillows. It's not too cool for me, perhaps the shredded filling allows better air circulation? Before I bought another pillow, though, I would probably buy an inner zipper case and cut the existing foam into small pieces, and stuff those in the zipper case. Make your own shredded memory foam pillow.

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's a much different feel than memory foam. I have purchased two on Amazon, not from this particular vendor. Both of them came with covers. I absolutely love sleeping on it. Difficult to say whether the feel is softer or firmer than memory foam. Don't worry about it being too firm, not the case at all. We bought king size for our bed and it is heavy. Initially getting it unpackaged and set up is easier with two people. The second one we purchased was for my 80 year old mother, she says it feels like heaven.

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!

this is more firm than the mattress toppers. i guess it would also depend on your weight. but memory foam alone just goes flat with all the body weight on it and yields equally as hard as the surface its on top of. hope that helps.

I had a little trouble adjusting to sleeping on my side with the wedge because it is quite firm. It helped when I used a down filled pillow under my head. It took about a week before I really felt comfortable on my side but I got used to it and now that is how I always sleep.

Hi Mary. Well, I bought two mattresses, a full and a queen sizes.Both of them, have two layers. The top one that is the side you lay down is about 2" of memory foam. And 8" Of very dense foam. Believe me, I have chronic back pain and since I started to use this kind of mattresses 2 months ago, I have less soreness in my lower back. It's incredibly the comfort and feeling when I sleep on it. One tip: once you unwrapp the mattress, place it in the bed's frame. To make the shape and contour more exact and precise to the mattress.If you decide to buy it, enjoy it. Hi Mary. Well, I bought two mattresses, a full and a queen sizes.Both of them, have two layers.

I really don't know, Julie. To me, the wedge pillow is designed primarily for back sleepers. I do use my wedge pillow with a soft pillow and watch tv on my side. That is comfortable, so you might give it a try. I wish I could train myself to sleep on my back, but haven't been able to do so yet. I am a tosser & turner, unfortunately.

No, it's just regular foam. It was too hard for my husband to sleep on, he said it didn't hany give.

It's pretty firm so if you want something cushy you'll need to find another mattress. I purchased it because I wanted something in my play yard other than the hard surface it has. Good Luck!!!

Not at all! This is why I got this wedge, and not some cheap foam one. Used this for recuperation from shoulder surgery, and needed something dependable. Also - zip-off cover is included, and of really good quality. I looked at $200 sets and $20 wedges - this was the BEST choice.

No meg...its not quite as firm...more like the consistency of egg crate material but solid. Like a foam mattress topper just not memory foam...hope that helps!

I do not believe this "Extra Soft" version is made from memory foam. This cushion crushes almost completely under my 116-pound frame. Perfect for the very frail, I'm sure they made this version for people with bed sores or friable skin. I would recommend a more firm cushion for everyone else, I purchased the "Extra Firm" for my father who is a large man, and he said the cushion is very comfortable and has allowed the sore on his coccyx to heal completely. I believe the "Extra Firm" is real memory foam, but am not completely sure as I have not seen it in person (he lives 1000 miles away).
