Well, it kind of is like the person has described!! The pillow is heavy and dense. It gives great support. My husband and I have been using ours for about a year and we love them. I don't think we'll ever go back to a regular pillow again.

I find the pillow to be PERFECT!!! its not to thick or to soft. IT IS JUST RIGHT. I've been using it for over a year now and still remains just as new.. it is a lil heavy but in a good way. Its like 3 pillows in 1 bit not with all the thickness of 3 pillows. Trust me when I say it is one of the Best Pillows for your buck. HOPE THIS HELPS :DMichael

Doctor Seuss review. Well I found it a bit too squishy. I went up to the $79 version and that one was more firm and still comfortable on the head.

Mine feels quite soft. I find it very comfortable. Firmness is relative and subjective though and I don't know what your original feels like.

I would describe it as firm, but not hard as rocks. I love mine and it really helps with tailbone pain, which is why I got it. I move it about the house with me, wherever I plan to sit for awhile.

Not sure if is supposed to be soft or hard. I can say that it is firm, supportive and comfortable. If you really prefer something really soft, not sure this pillow will meet your need.

Mine is doing great. It is the same type that I used at physical therapy. As to hardness, I'd say it is firm but not nearly so hard as some I've used. The different colors indicate hardness, pink being the softest. I can't really speak to whether it will be too hard for you. Good luck.

The bottom of the pillow is flat, the top of the pillow has two supportive humps, one side is smaller than the other and firmer than the other. I have to use the smaller side, the bigger side gives me a headache. I got my first pillow like this, this brand, through a chiropractor and now it's the only one I can sleep on. For me, they will last for about 3 years before I replace them, but that's me. It's not a memory foam where is sinks down, it's a foam, but it's a very supportive foam. I highly recommend this pillow, but keep in mind, different things work for different people. Good luck and if I can answer anything else, just ask and I will do my best!!

It is soft but not too soft . I find that it is just the perfect comfort for me. It gives some when you lay on it. But not to the point where you are unable to move, it other words you don't feel like you fell in a massive hole and can't get out! Lol! But it is just the right amount of comfort!

According to the manufacturer's web site this mattress has a medium-plush feel. That means it's not too firm or plush, but is leaning more towards the plush side. I ended up buying one that was more firm for that reason.

I actually purchased mine because of the reviews relating to the softness. Mine; however is incredibly firm. We cannot sleep on it. Moved it to the guest room and the guests complain that it is too firm. Our personal experience is that it caused more pain, mostly in the hips.

I weigh 275lbs. I would describe it as a soft brick. You sink into it very little. This mattress is ultra firm. My wife hates it but I can sleep on it . And after a year of use I am starting to agree with my wife. It almost seems firmer than a year ago, but may just be me. I paid $400 for this but it may be time for another or a mattress topper. If you like firm, give this a try.

It's REALLY thick. Not very "squishy" but molds well to you. But it is a thick pillow. Toss in the dryer and it expands. I don't think alot of people do that when they get it. It ships flat and rolled up. The dryer gives it volume

Neither - I sent mine back. I am a side sleeper, and it was very flat (did not look like the photo). Ended up going with a Pacific Coast Double Down Around pillow from THEIR website. You then have a choice of soft, medium, and firm. I have a soft Double Down Around and a standard down stuffed into a single pillow protector, and boy is it ever fluffy and big!

I'd say its like a 5. Reading at some of the comments I thought it would be write firm but its actually soft for me.

I agree with the other answers, they start out medium but after using them for a couple of weeks they get really squishy. I needed this type of pillow because I have neck problems and I love it....but I can see how it might be an annoyance for some people. It does go pretty flat while sleeping and I must shift my pillow around at least 20 times a night to keep the fluff in comfortable bumps. Still, this pillow means "some" sleep for me, as opposed to "NO" sleep with other type of pillows.

There is literally no way ANYONE could answer that. They are filled with feathers. how full? Full. Are they squishy? Yes. Do they confirm to your shape? Absolutely. Are they thick? Yes, more than some, less than others. Are they firm? I wouldn't recommend building a house on them. But then again, they are pillows. They are good pillows, for an exceptional price. Buy them, or don't, but if you need a question answered, think about what your asking, because yours is so vague, no one can answer it.

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!

I think it is fairly dense. Firm feel but still soft. Holds body up really well. But allows pressure points to sink down some. Such as hips and shoulder when laying on the side. I really like mine. Wish I had ordered much sooner. ............ Tony
