Hi, how firm is this pillow? I am 5'9'' and medium size. I am afraid if it's going to be short for me. What do you think?

This pillow is massive. My wife is 5'2" and it is too big for her. I think you will be fine.

Not very firm. I think it should work for you. It's not stuck in this shape like it looks in the picture, it can be manipulated some. I could pull the bottom part up so it hit me between the knees if I wanted (I'm only 5'3"). I really liked mine. I did end up using my pillow with it though, I just needed a little more once it got squished down some.

I am also 5'9" it won't be too short. As for firmness I wash mine every couple of months just to re-fluff it.

I am the same size and this pillow works perfectly. I love it. The pillow can be shaped in many different ways to make you most comfortable.

Tommy - I think you'll be fine. I'm also a hot sleeper and haven't had any probs with this pillow. Good luck.

It is pretty firm. Also flat on one side..I really don't think it would make a good pillow.

How short? I'm 4'6" and it is not uncomfortable. It seems to spread weight really well....good support.

Yes, it IS hard, but eventually it softens up a bit. It is still firm, but after a week or so of sleeping on it, I love it to death. Since I sleep on my stomach mostly, I end up hugging the pillow to me so I am not just resting my head on the edge of it... when I am on my side, I also end up at the edge of it. Like Another reviewer said, I wish it were a little longer. Body-sized pillow? I would definitely buy it!

Hi, the answer is not very. I was looking for a much firmer pillow. However, if you are looking for one that is not, this is the pillow for you. Best.

I bought the dream foam mattress in the 10 inch version. I have a cranky back and find it difficult to get comfortable. This mattress did the trick for me. I would call it medium firm With just enough give for sleeping on your side. Its wonderful.

if you have a short or regular neck, it might be too thick/tall for you. I'm 5 3" and might return it.However, it is very soft and comfy for those long flights.

I would say it's about medium. I haven't slept on it yet. That's really the only way your going to know if works for you. I would think if it's too soft it's not going to give you much cushion. I can update after I've spent a night on it. I bought it for the same reason. It's about 2 1/2 thick not 1 as mary c states.

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 5'4" woman and the anatomical pillow is great for me. I'm mostly a side sleeper but also sleep on my back. The neck supports are slightly different heights so you can choose which is best for you.

The total size of the pillow goes from your lower back all the way up to your head on most folks I am nearly 6 feet tall and have no issues with it being too short. The concept is like that of a lightly baffled water bed only the filling is air - so as you move it adjusts which area is more puffy and less based on the pressure from your body - on international flights it has been a great help to my comfort and it rolls into a tube shaped sack the size of most pillow rolls on a couch or outdoor furniture. It also inflates fairly easily and you adjust to your desired firmness.

I have the medium - there are two thicknesses, I prefer the larger one about 4" I think - I love the pillow - haven't had neck problems since using it. I may try the firm one next.

I'm a side sleeper and I'm male, about 5'10, 155lbs, and broad shoulders from being a "gym-rat". This mattress seems to be okay on my side, but is VERY comfortable when I'm on my back. If you're really concerned, I would probably go for a thicker mattress and/or make sure you're using a firm side-sleeper pillow.

It might be a bit too firm for a child that young..a great pillow but for teen or adult from my experience. Might ask your pediatrician. Merry Christmas.:)

It is medium firm when you get it. It will soften up a bit during use. But never really a soft pillow. Supports the neck very well.

I know they have small, medium and large sizes. From one of their descriptions they say that the large is for tall people. I am 5'7" and I got the medium and it was perfect for me. So I would think that the size pillow you should get is related to your body height. Hope this helps!
