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 am not sure but the density seems firm to me. It is a very comfortable and supportive pillow.

Well I don't have a definitive scale for you it is much firmer than either feather or poly fill .A good comparison may be a couch pillow firmness. I initially purchased the firm and thought it was too firm and then purchased a soft version. I now have switched back to the firm pillow and prefer it. My soft pillow has become my exercise pillow when I'm on the floor and need to make sure I keep my neck properly aligned. Since I had been using feather pillows for years I initially didn't think I liked these pillows but, I trusted my PT's opinion and now know they are very beneficial. You decide on give it a few days before you pass judgement. Good luck.

It doesn't squish flat like something hard although it is supportive it's firmer than a pillow or foam not hard like sitting on a board

i don't know what the mattress weights but it is quite a bit lighter than a regular mattress

I would say this pillow is about 5" thick around the outside and does not squish down hardly at all.

This pillow is great but doesnt really squish that much. I carry it on the plane with me. Its more like a memory foam. Hope that helps

It is a heavier pillow, I would guess 3-4 pounds. However, it is the best pillow ever!! I had neck surgery 5-7 years ago and was having neck pain again for the last year. From DAY ONE of getting my pillow, I have had no neck pain since!! It is truly the best pillow ever! Hope this helps.

to me it is not heavy, although I am a side sleeper, and I have been folding the corner over to sleep on it. The pillow goes flat pretty quick to me.

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.

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'm guessing about 4 lbs. It was not enoug for me. I added another 3 or so pounds to the pillow.

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

The pillow is not made of foam. The outside cover is some type of puffy soft stuff and the inside padding looks to be covered in plastic. I remove the pillow' after each use to let it dry so as not to mold or mildew. Hope this helps.

I weighed the pillow without packaging and I got six pounds They shipped it to me in a plastic wrapper that couldn't have weighed more than two pounds. (no box) It is pretty dense foam, but not 15 pounds worth.

The Ball feels like it has a more thick consistency, but isn't heavy. It stays inflated better than ones I have purchased from Target. I really don't feel like it is weighted. (I don't think it is heavy when picking it up)

It is very cushy and thick. I would compare it to the "pillow top" of an expensive mattress. It is NOT like a foam mattress topper. It is luxurious!
