Hello. How many inches is pillow with head weight on it? Im a side sleeper and need 3 to 4 inches. Thank you.

I think about 2 inches. I fold it and tuck it, which you can't do with a thinker pillow. I use a thinker pillow underneath it.

I was so unhappy with this pillow, that I gave it away, so I have no way to measure it. Let me say, though, that it flattens to the point where it is totally useless, in my mind. I am guessing, that with the user's head lying on it, it flattens out to less than two inches. I hope my answer helps you.

Assuming youEan how high is it with your head on it, it is almost flat. This is a very soft pillow. I am a side sleeper, too, and bunch it up under my head to get some hight.

The pillow is very flat, extremely soft, probably at the most 2 inches with head weight. Unless is folded in half then it would be a little higher. If you need 4 inches this would not work.

I don't think there is that much loft. It is perfect for me as I have a neck injury and I just want suport under my neck with enough on my face to avoid tipping forward . It is at my house up north and I miss it a lot. Thinking of getting for Fl.

i am buying the "large" right now (done shopping - this is my pick).based on the questions and reviews I've read the "Large" is what I will buy.I am a CPAP user -- 5'9" tall 210 lbs -- hate hot soft pillows and have previously only had expensive down filled pillows.Hope my expectations aren't too high, however, I'm about to press the "one click" and purchase two. Here goes ....

hi there...the pillow is smaller than a normal pillow...about 24" x 15"...but it is very comfortable and "squishes" so nicely as we punch it during our sleep...best I have ever tried....

I get the standard support pillow. I am 5'6" and 140 pounds and it works great for me. There are two sides....a thicker side and and smaller side. Dependent on which I need is what I sleep on. If you have a chance to go by chiropractors office to "take a look" do. However, order from Amazon, these are the BEST prices. Great pillow and really helps my neck and with sleeping. Good luck

I'm a sidesleeper & love this pillow. The only caveat is you may want to take a bit of the buckwheat hulls out and check your head height (neutral) & add back as needed.

Here's what I said in my review, "It may be thin relative to a standard king size pillow but is not even close to being really thin. " This is as thin a foam pillow I've found but it's still too thick for me. If anyone knows of one thinner, please reply to this query and let everyone know... Thanks

The pillow I have was low at first, to low for me, so I made it higher and shorter, now I truly love this pillow... I can't remember the inches before I transform it.

Hi, I'm 5'3" and I found this particular size (24" x 16") too big. In addition, I chose firm as is my husband's; but this particular pillow (it says "standard"), is too firm. I wouldn't recommend this type of pillow for a child; it takes time to get accostumed to it and may seem confining as your head fits into the middle section which is similar to a hole so that your neck is always in the correct position. I would recommend a smaller and "gentle" type of pillow but not for a child. Hope this helps.

At the highest point at the top of the pillow it is 4 inches. In the curved area it is 3.5 inches. When I press into the center of the pillow to simulate the weight of a head it flattens down to about an inch.

I would say it's about 5 inches. I think it's the most amazing pillow I have ever slept on. I use to wake up with a stiff neck every morning, with this pillow I have no more stiffness in my neck.

Not sure how many lbs came with it but I thought it was adequate. I really like my buckwheat pillow because it keeps the same height off the bed while you sleep. I sleep on my side and with a feather pillow it flattens out through the night and I would wake up with a sore neck. The buckwheat pillow does not. I could get help with a foam pillow, but it makes my head hot. Again buckwheat does not. I woulld hate to have to give mine up

This pillow is a "standard-sized" pillow. It is 4" thick at it's thickest point (roll that fits under your neck).

I own a 3 inch and a 2 inch. My 2 inch is in the guest room and i have to say... it would work well for a back sleeper but the 3 inch is very comfortable (on my bed) for the side sleeper. It also depends on the size of the individual. My guess would be the heavier the person.. the thicker the pad? My husband is 190 pounds and the 2 or 3 inch works great.

It depends. For me, 2 pillows would be too much, but 1 pillow is not quite ideal. If anything, I would get a thin down pillow as a 2nd pillow for side sleeping. The Sleep Innovations pillow has a memory foam + down alternative, so it doesn't compress enough to use 2 of those pillows. I am doing fine with 1 pillow, but I sleep on my back a lot.

Just want to add an additional response to your question, if your neck to shoulder measurement is 5 1/4 inches, at the borderline between two different size pillows, go with the smaller pillow.

i can't find mine at the moment but i would guess it is about 3 inches thick when fully inflated. i never use it that way, though, because about half inflated feels right for me. it's a good little pillow. my physical therapist suggested it.

The Carex pillow is 4 and 1/2 in diameter and twelve inches long. It is best used "lightly" such as in a sitting up position. I flattened mine some by using it as a neck support on the floor. For the floor I got a Sachi.com pillow of seed hulls. Much more substantial and comfortable. You can find it on Amazon under side sleeper pillows. Minnette
