is this more like a memory foam pillow ( bounces back when scrunch it and let go) or a synthetic down pillow (that you can scrunch & conform)?

The pillow is not memory foam (dense and heavy). It is filled with cubes of low density foam. It compresses easily and resumes its original shape when released.

it's not at all like a memory foam, we love these so much that we have bought 3 full size pillows and two travel pillows. they smash down to travel in the bag they provide then full back out when out of the bag.

No!! Memory foam is much denser and slowly "sinks" as you press on it or lay on it. This is NOT memory foam. It is basically like one of those egg crate things.

It did not state this in the information but to give you a comparison it is denser than an eggcrate topper and more like that of a memory foam pillow. It does not permanently mold to your shape instead returns to it's original shape without pressure. I have had mine for 4 months and it is the same as when it initially inflated.

I'm allergic to natural down, so I buy a down alternative, which is just a synthetic filler that is simalar to keeping you as warm as down. I'm really happy with this one that I bought.

Convoluted foam is not either. It is a synthetic textile made from polyethylene. It's not natural like rubber/latex and it doesn't conform to your shape like memory foam. The "egg crate" shape allows for air flow, relief of stress and better weight distribution. I remember at my grandmother's house she always had these "egg crate" toppers, and I always found them comfortable. I had one years ago that lasted a long time, although I believe it was only 2" and not hospital grade, it lasted years. I've had this one (4") for over three months now and it's held it's shape and is extremely comfortable. I am very happy with it.

The whole thing is memory foam. I also had a wedge previously which was not. This one is more comfortable and easier on my back. I use one small pillow with it which is also memory foam.

I'd say it's between a fabric and plastic feel. My husband uses it and doesn't mind the stiff feel. I don't use mine because of the very tight squeeze getting the pillow in it, the pillow becomes VERY hard--too compact. In fact, it really doesn't fluff up because of the tight fit. It might be great for allergies but you lose a lot of the soft pillow feel.

Just checked and, sorry, I already removed the tags. However, it has the appearance and texture of a softer memory foam (as you would see in memory foam pads or pillows but not as firm). When compressed, the wings of the pad quickly recover their original shape. It is very comfortable and makes for a happy baby changing pad.

It is made out of foam but not memory foam. I would say it is more on the squishy side. I have a whole bunch of pillows and I haven't found an absolutely perfect one yet. But when my neck is absolutely killing me this is the pillow I turn to. Hope this helps.

Hi C.Wood, I'm no pillow expert but I did take a moment to view the description of "My Pillow". Most significant difference is "My Pillow" is made of cotton. After time and repeated use I have found that a cotton filled pillow will not hold it's original shape and texture. My Pillow's price is significantly higher. After several months of usage I stand by the purchase my Conforma Pillow. Best investment I've ever made.

No...it's a long, about the length of a bed piece of foam.. you put it under the bed sheets to keep a toddler or child from rolling out of bed unto the floor.. it's not a pillow. .

I sleep on my side and find it a reasonably comfortable pillow. You should know it is firm, perhaps even hard in the sense that most stuffed pillows will gradually shift their stuffing, settling into the shape of your head. This one does not do that very much, it is not hard like a brick but neither does it let you sink into it very far. While I can not speak for others, I would expect that if you like a solid, slightly yielding pillow, this is for you. If your preference runs to the more squishy pillows you probably will not like it.

No, it's like a fiber fill. Not as dense as memory foam. It can be easily "smushed" into a small bag easily. The back of the pillow is completely flat so that your neck isn't jacked forward. It's very soft and comfortable and the velcro strap allows you to adjust the pillow so that even if your head tilts forward a little, it won't "flop" or cause neck strain. I got two of these and we really like them!

They aren't the same sort of pillow. This pillow is a solid piece of memory foam, and the MyPillow is chunks of memory foam inside a case. The MyPillow also comes in five different levels of "fill" so that can change how firm it is wildly as well as how tall it will be (yellow, white, green, blue, red - in order of soft to firm). The benefit of the MyPillow is that you can shape it like you could a down pillow (since the fill is just chunks), and it will mostly hold that shape once you put your head down on it. However, if you toss and turn alot during the night, you will eventually nestle a divet into the MyPillow over the course of the night and may have to refluff it to regain the height and support you started with when you laid down.

I'm not really sure but it's not memory foam but it's a lot like it. I've had a lot if expensive toppers because I prefer a more "squishy" bed, and this it literally the best one I've had. It even worked great on our really crappy futon mattress! It had a plastic smell to it (as all these types of things do) but I let it air for one day and it went away. I would say you can't go wrong with this!

It is small chucks of memory gel foam, packed inside a case. The pillow I have feels like a memory foam pillow, but is looser than the single piece foam pillows. It's not too cool for me, perhaps the shredded filling allows better air circulation? Before I bought another pillow, though, I would probably buy an inner zipper case and cut the existing foam into small pieces, and stuff those in the zipper case. Make your own shredded memory foam pillow.

Not like down, more like cotton. The stuffing can be moved around inside a pillow and will stay when compacted, unlike buckwheat.
