I found mine to have the same firmness. The best advice I can give is to force yourself to try it for about 3 nights. You will either love it or hate it. Just take comfort in the return policy!

This is a very firm - but comfortable - pillow and will give you great support and a good night's sleep. I wish I had found it years ago. It will soften up just a tad more as time goes by, but still the most supportive pillow I've ever had.

Glad to hear that, because mine was comfy right out of the box! I was going to say there must have been something very wrong with yours, until I came here and saw that yours was just very cold.

Glad to hear it got better. I knew it was firm, but not too bad. Mine is pretty soft now too.

The 4 of these pillows I have purchased have been a rather firm and heavy foam, and firmer than most regular pillows I've had, but definitely not "hard as a rock." They softened quite a bit after they warmed up from sitting outside in the box as well. Try it out for a couple of nights - I would return it for a replacement if it seems unreasonably hard.

my pillow was firm not hard. It was much firmer that a regular pillow. I have been sleeping on it for abouta month and with the exception of me wanting it to be longer I don't have any other problems

I have found that it takes a little getting used to as all of my other pillows are soft and cushy. This pillow will cradle your head if you give it a chance, but I find that I start out sleeping with my head in the middle and wake up hugging the edge.

Yes, it IS hard, but eventually it softens up a bit. It is still firm, but after a week or so of sleeping on it, I love it to death. Since I sleep on my stomach mostly, I end up hugging the pillow to me so I am not just resting my head on the edge of it... when I am on my side, I also end up at the edge of it. Like Another reviewer said, I wish it were a little longer. Body-sized pillow? I would definitely buy it!

Is the pillow cold? Was it sitting outside on your porch in the middle of winter? Memory foam is notorious for getting rock solid when exposed to cold temperatures. Wait for it to warm up and test again. It should be softer. If this is not the case, then you might have a faulty product.Thank you for taking the time to read my answer; I hope it was helpful to you!

I think the shock of first laying on it is that it is very firm, but your body just slowly nestles into it. We have had ours a couple of months and it is still very firm when first sitting or laying down, but it has settled a bit after the first few weeks. Give it some more time, both for the mattress and your body to adjust to the difference. We are very happy with ours, but it did take some adjustment time, after being used to an old spring/coil mattress.

Have not read that, but as a stomach sleeper who has owned this pillow for a while, it's quite different from normal fill pillows. The best comparison would be to a plush and soft pillow. It's a bit of a higher loft (thickness of pillow) than I would like for a stomach sleeper pillow, but packs down nicely (I have a large and heavy head, ymmv). One unexpected thing is that it does not breathe as well as fill pillows, so as a result, you may experience some earwax buildup. I adjusted my sleep position slightly to be closer to the edge of the pillow. Overall, still a good product and I get to sleep without problem 99.9% of the time.

NOOO!!!!!! Mine is slowly losing it's shape and going flat. I would never buy another one again. When I lay in bed and read my nook I have to use another pillow on top of this darn $70.00 thing I bought. Good luck!

very firm , I like plush / medium soft My wife like hard , and this was even slightly firm for her for the 1rst week , it does break in and even I can sleep on it . I use a 1, maybe 2" gel topper for more comfort/ softness (I like my ribs and hips to sink in so my spine is strait since I am a side sleeper I weigh 165 my wife 160 so if your heavier it may be just right if your lighter then 165lbs then this will be to firm unless you like a firm almost very firm mattress . It is zero gravity when just laying on your back it does give you a floating sensation and is very relaxing ...

I don't recommend sleeping this way with this sort of pillow. I used to sleep like that until I started sleeping with buckwheat pillows. Once you get used to them they support you enough that you don't need to sleep like that.

I think it is very hard to judge this, for another person. I can tell you this though: I have severe spine problems and have found it impossible to be comfortable,for at least 13 year, since my accident. I have always slept on a firm mattress, because it was recommended by my orthopedist, but didn't feel comfortable. I decided to try the foam topper and can tell you that it has made a big difference in my level of pain. I sleep much better with it, though it doesn't change the level of firmness from the mattress. It just seems to form to my body,which relieves me. You will have to make the judgement about your changing weight and whether it is worth it to experiment. My decision was based on the need for relief and for me the price was worth it, to just try. It is costs a lot less than a whole new mattress, even though $200 + can be also be lot of money,for many of us! I am 73 yrs old and injured. I weigh about 140 lbs. I hope this info is helpful to you.....and best wishes to you and your baby!

I wasn't uncomfortable sleeping with the cloud pillow from the first night but for me I would say it took a week for the pillow to fully mould to my head/neck and for this weird smell that came with it to go away. I read all the pillows have a smell when you first open it but it does go away. i just febreezed my pillow in the beginning. Also for some reason this winter my room has been very cold (my bed next to a window) so my pillow gets frozen like it doesn't mold right away so I put

I love mine!!! I have severe neck and shoulder issues and have bought so many pillows! I even had the water one suggested by the chiropractor and paid soooo much for it! It seems now that I think about it that mine got more comfortable as time passed I love mine wouldn

I found the pillow much too soft for me and gave it to my 12 year old grandson. He loves it and hasn't said it is too hot. Size would be appropriate for anyone except for the too soft problem for me. Hope this helps.

The whole pillow is VERY HARD- I should have returned mine- can't use it-- It's like laying on a log. I guess it depends on your own neck & your issues

well! it's not chill nor hot (like normal pillow). You might it's cool or cooler than normal pillow. However, I highly recommend if you have neck or back pain. At least, I felt better after using it. Hope, it can help you to decide it.

I would recommend contacting the company to see if they have any options to make it less fluffy for you. Their customer service is amazing, truly amazing, and they may be able to suggest something that would help. It is a fluffy pillow, and we haven't had ours long enough to know if it flattens, but it is worth a quick note to them as the quality of this pillow is excellent!

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.

No. That is not normal. I've had my pillow for 1yr and 9mths and it's still as solid and comfortable as the day I got it.

It's not supposed to be rock hard, I would contact Amazon and tell them what happened, they will give you your money back, it sounds like the product is defective. We are using ours again when it gets to warm for our dog.
