If you like a softer pillow it may not be for you. It is fairly firm, especially at first. When I first got it I only slept on it half the night for about a week until I broke it in. I would call it medium firm but not so much soft. My dad who LOVES a softer pillow hates this pillow so if you want soft this may not be the one for you. If you want firm it may not be the one for you. Like Goldie Locks found out...It was just right for me (I like medium in the middle of soft and firm)

The pillow definitely leans more toward firm than soft. I would even call it "supportive" versus "firm." It sort of flexes with your neck/head after a few uses. My husband prefers a softer pillow and he does not like this pillow.

The pillow feels soft but compresses very little. Absolutely the most comfortable pillows we have ever had.

It's a bit on the "firm" side at first, but over time it softens up, but not too soft, and is the BEST PILLOW for me as I have major neck issues to the point that I wake up with a SEVERE MIGRAINE if my neck is out and I have gone through 15 different pillows ranging from other memory foam pillows, down pillows, you name I tried it and this pillow I finally found. LOVE LOVE LOVE this pillow!!!! Thank you!!!!

No, its very comfortable and not too soft or too firm. Many isotonic pillows are way too soft and don't have enough padding but this one is great! My son and I both love ours.

In my terms I would not call it firm. It gives when you lay in it. At the same time, I wouldn't call it soft either; it's right in between. It reminds me of a temperpedic type mattress although not that high end. Not sure if that helps. When I lay on beds in furniture stores that are really firm I do not like them. This is not that type of firm for me. It's light weight but still a good amount of support.

I'd say medium firmness to firm. Not super firm though. This is my first foam mattress. I LOVE it. It has give, along with support, that I have never gotten from a coil spring mattress. I had back surgery over 20 years ago and have ongoing chronic back and shoulder pain. For the first time in as long as I can remember, I can sleep through the night without pain and wake up feeling refreshed. Particularly when you compare the cost of this mattress to a Tempurpedic, I don't see how you can go wrong.

I didn't think it was very firm, but had been using a temperpedic body pillow which was very firm, I went back tot because this one just seemed to soft to me. Hope that helps

I think it is pretty firm - but I like softer mattresses. My wife thinks it is more on the soft side - but she like her mattress more firm. So this is a pretty subjective matter. I can say, thought, that I've slept on hotel mattresses that were WAY more firm, if that helps. We both sleep pretty well on this mattress, so I guess it's a good compromise.

No. The pillow is firm and at first I was mad about the pillow but a few weeks after I have been sleeping w it, I love it! It becomes so soft and formed to ur head or body( depending how u sleep) for the price it is def something to try and if u like u could always buy more once you feel comfortable that it was a good investment. ( n NO I do not work w this company. I am just happy about the results of this pillow and w my neck not being sore when I wake up.)

I believe you would still find the bed very firm. It is on my son"s bed and he described it like this yesterday, "if I lay there long enough, it will mould to my body but if I roll over, I feel like I am on a table.". I believe we will be removing the topper this weekend. He finds the mattress softer without it. spend a little bit more money and get a better quality one

The pillow is quite firm, in fact I use an old down pillow on top of it. For me, the pillow is too small. If there is a larger pillow available, I'd recommend that one instead.

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.

I am picky about my pillows, firmness (not too), keeping there shape over time (yes). I had these pillows for over 2 months. I'm very happy

I had exactly the same complaint about my old pillow, and exactly the same dilemma as yours: which height and firmness I should specify for the new one. I'm also a (mostly) side sleeper. I believe the "right" answer will end up being a matter of personal preference. What worked for me may not feel right to you. That said, here's my experience: I rolled the dice and ordered the High and Firm pillow. I unpackaged it and thought "This thing is too big and hard" but I followed the manufacturer's reco and let it sit, unused, for a couple of days. Then I gave it a try and I found it to be perfect from Day One. 19 months later, I'm still loving the pillow.

I agree with Chris. My bed is really firm and also new, and I find the topper makes it more comfortable. It's a medium amount of "squish," so if you want an ultimate pillowtop feel, maybe go with a thick all memory foam topper.

I was at my local Bed, Bath, Beyond just today inquiring about this issue. They only carried covers for a much smaller cervical pillow, which didn't have much firmness. I agree that having pillow covers you can wash separately is a must-have if you are going to purchase this pillow. What do the manufacturers say?

I have two pillow cases for this pillow. Ones is this quilted, the second as from Bed, Bath and Beyond. This quilted, I find given a 1 out of 10 is a 7. Just on a comfort level. My pillow initially was filled pretty firm but after several nights, I let quite a bit of water out so I can tuck it and free form it under my chin, neck, head, etc, when sleeping which I prefer. The BB&B case is a more quality high thread count and soft material which makes the difference for me. Both pillow cases made for water pillows fit exactly as stated and I personally have not have an issue concerning that. Although this case was a tad bit of a tighter squeeze getting into but is not tight once it's on. The pillow does remain flattened out, at least mine does with it's water level which I have chosen. I give it a 7 because it's not a soft and not as impressed with the imprint, doesn't have the same thread count and was about 2-3 dollars more when the store is right here for me. It's not bad though. Hope that helps.

This pillow is actually a little soft for my liking (note: its gotten softer over a couple months than it was originally out of the box), but I was wanting a medium-firm feel. I washed the pillow case as soon as I got it and the "smell" was very minimal and more of a "newness" and went away... in fact I didn't even really notice it past the first or second night.
