How does the weight of this pillow compare to non-foam pillows?

Without having a scale to test it, I'd venture a guess that this is at least 3x heavier. It is a noticeable difference. But you don't notice it while using it.I definitely wouldn't want to get clocked in the face in a pillow fight with this.

It is somewhat heavier, but it needs to be cause it is a good orthopedic method for your neck. I use to get up more than 4 times at night after surgery from sweating, or getting hot, but now, I only get up once a night. Great pillow.

It is much heavier. Maybe 3 times the weight of a regular pillow. Still not too heavy to turn around, if needed.

I can only vouch for 210 pounds. This pillow is made with a good foam but it's only just so thick. A heavier person might require a thicker pillow. (Place this on another cushion of like material and it might help.) Hope that helps.

It's not either of them actually. They aren't exactly the same. But they are nice. Your head sinks in a bit but without the pillow flattening out. And honestly there wasn't much difference between. Sorry if this doesn't really answer your question.

I bought the queen size of this in August to replace a denser, 10 year old contour pillow. Out of the box, this pillow is less firm and way lighter in weight, but in use it supports my head perfectly and I really think less firm = more comfortable.

I agree, the pillow is great but it is more like a memory foam and does not squish that well

I'm not sure of the weight but doesn't Amazon give that? It's certainly not heavy. I use it on airplanes so I don't pack it, just stick it in a carryon. I love it. Much cooler than a foam pillow.

Not sure how it compares compares to the other pillow your referring to but I purchased this for my 225# husband for his back problem and he loves it. We tried bed and throw pillows that were too bulky but this one seems to be just right. Hope this helped.

I would say from 2-1/2 to 3 lbs. It feels heavier than a feather pillow or a light weight pillow; it's dense but comfortable. When I bought mine, they told me to give it 30 days to get used to it. I've enjoyed mine and so gave one to my sister and to my son.

It isn't foam and is pretty thick. It is not like a mattress on a bed however and it is firm when you lay on it.

It's more "puffy" (prefer that to fluffy) but not dense. I have it on a twin bed next to a twin bed that has a regular mattress, and there's a visible difference. There's a nice cushiony feel to it.

This foam behaves like a dense memory foam, it deforms slower than regular foam but recovers quickly. So I guess it is a stiffer version of memory foam than what we see in pillows and mattresses. Hope this helps.

I'd say it's definitely poofy. My old pillow was a bit flat and I feel the difference. However, the memory foam "cradles" my neck and head in a nice way and I sleep very comfortably.... Hope this helps!

Not sure exact weight but from my experience it's lighter and much easier to handle than a memory foam of similar thickness. I think it would be better for the foam if it was rolled up rather than folded

I believe that the 5.5 is the density..... 5.5 pounds per sq. inch, tho' I'm not sure about that. Whatever, it is a fairly firm memory foam, tho' very comfortable to sleep on. I have no problems with my back or hips hurting anymore from pressure points. My only dislike is that I bought the 4" thick topper, and I find that it shifts on the bed, even with a mattress cover to hold it in place. Other than that, I have no complaints. It's a terrific buy!

Hello Miss Inez,I bought two of these pillows as a gift for a friend, so I don't have them available to measure or weigh just now. However, they did appear to be the size and weight of "regular" pillows and the only difference I noticed was that they were delightfully soft and "squishy". I wonder if the "80x16x78" was a measurement using the metric system and "inches" was used mistakenly. Anyway, if you purchase them I think you will be happy and yes, they are a normal size and weight.

Have not read that, but as a stomach sleeper who has owned this pillow for a while, it's quite different from normal fill pillows. The best comparison would be to a plush and soft pillow. It's a bit of a higher loft (thickness of pillow) than I would like for a stomach sleeper pillow, but packs down nicely (I have a large and heavy head, ymmv). One unexpected thing is that it does not breathe as well as fill pillows, so as a result, you may experience some earwax buildup. I adjusted my sleep position slightly to be closer to the edge of the pillow. Overall, still a good product and I get to sleep without problem 99.9% of the time.

equal to any other memory foam mattress. Memory foam mattress generally weigh more than your standard size. I do not know the exact weight.
