I am 6' tall and weight 280 lbs. I'm concerned that this pillow will not be supportive enough for a heavy guy like me. Any other "big" folks use this?

My husband and I are both a bit shorter and 100# lighter, but honestly, it is so firm, I would give it a try. Its pretty darned firm. The wedge is really solid foam and then the top of the foam wedge is a 1" layer of softer foam, which makes it more comfortable and can fit our bodies better. I like it so much and I would guess it will be just fine for you. At any rate, there's a good chance it will make you happy and if it doesn't, return it. Amazon is great for that. Its worth the gamble and I suspect you will be on the winning side. Good luck!

I am 6'2" and about 300 lbs and it works great! It helped my back pain and snoring...

I'm 6'1" and 350 lbs. Not a bad wedge but I need to find a bigger one, all around. I like the wedge to start just at my lower back and it is too short for me. So I have to put a pillow vertical between the wall/headboard and the wedge and then rest a bed pillow on that to hold up my head. Also I found that the pillow flattens too much for me, so I have ended up putting a pillow under the wedge to make it incline a little more. Lastly, it is not wide enough to support my arms as much as I would like. I'm now thinking about buying the Avana Slant Bed Wedge or maybe other brands I have found. I'm 6'1" and 350 lbs.

I am not that tall and weigh just a little less. That pillow works great for me and I think it will for you too.

It is kind of tight for me and I am 6ft 210lbs. It may work for you. Its a good sleep system if it works for you.

I've had mine a few days now. I'm 6'1" and 300 lbs... this chair is holding me up with zero problems. I was very worried when I was putting it together, but it's wonderful. I shift now and again, as a lot of my weight is displaced to my shins, but I find it's perfectly fine if I shift to where my knees take the weight- and even simply bring my feet out to the sides- and though it has casters, it doesn't just roll out from under me or anything. Getting used to it isn't nearly as awkward as expected. Love love love it.

I bought this for my mother she weighs about 175 & it slid very easily. I'm not sure how it would work for a large male. I would go by the mfg recomendation on how much weight it holds. If your within that amount I would go for it. It has been great for my mom.

It is a big pillow, yes, but certainly not too big. I'm only 4'11" and it works perfectly for me.

I use this pillow as a side sleeper but sometimes on my back. I receive excellent support both ways. I would say that it would depend on a person's build though.

I seriously doubt it, not designed to hold anything near that kind of weight.EDIT: OK, I thought I was responding about a different pillow. Yes, this pillow is much stronger than the one I was originally commenting on. This one probably would hold a person's weight, but still it is not designed for that and I don't know if I would trust it for that. If you want a seat better to get a seat IMO. There are lightweight portable seat cushions made of foam that do not inflate and so cannot burst from pressure, my suggestion is to look for one of those.

My boyfriend is 6'4", 280, and it is totally strong. I think it had great support.

I think it would be too heavy for you. It's a little heavy for me and I'm 6 ft and 200 lbs.

Im female, 5'6" 140 lbs & somehow Amazon sent me an email to respond to your question. Weird right, I know! But anyway, my boyfriend likes to monopolize the living room tv, so I watch tv in bed A LOT LoL & I absolutely LOVE my pillow!! Seriously, it was my first Amazon purchase & the BEST purchase I have ever made!!! Nuff Said...

To me it has a comfortable, solid feel but it is not feather-light. I'm six foot tall and weigh 200 lbs. My 5'-4" wife thinks it is a little heavy for her. I still love it.

i have a female friend of mine around 5'6 140 ish and she uses it . the reason a lot of big guys like this is because the high tensity foam works better to support our weight where as some of the wimpier foam rollers kinda cave under our weight

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.

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.

Poofy, it's not. It's a very hard and heavy pillow and about 10 inches thick. Personally, it was too hard for me, Pillow just wouldn't compress that much. If you're a back sleeper, it should work just fine.

This pillow is massive. My wife is 5'2" and it is too big for her. I think you will be fine.

Hey there. For me, the lumbar support is good, and I'm a big guy! Hard to judge personal preferences when it comes to comfort though. Great value for the price. Hope this helpsWest
