I'm a side/stomach sleeper, which one would be better for me? This or the one with just foam? Also, how is the form holding up after months/years?

Personally, I'm not a fan of the ones that are just foam. I don't think they hold up as well. This one has only been in use at our house for a couple of weeks

I haven't had it long. I just bought it for my grandchildren and it works out okay - not sure about adult sleeping. I'll have to try it out...sorry.

I got the tri-core pillow because someone else with bulging discs recommended it. I like it for laying flat on my back but don't like it for when I roll to my side. My tempurpedic is better for side sleeping (but not back sleeping). Basically, some nights I switch between 2-3 pillows.

We have it since Dec 2010. For us, it feels good if you sleep on your side. Horrible if you sleep on your back -- we get backache. It is plush, really plush. I guess we would have preferred a firmer bed.

It's more on the firm side. It holds it shape well and supports great. I sleep on my side so this pillow is plush enough for comfort but firm enough to support. Temp wise, it is more on the hot side. I would suggest buying a cool temp fabric cover for it.

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 like this bed. After a year I have had no problems. But I have a foam mattress and am considering a getting a new mattress which may be heavier. I'd like to know if anyone has had problem with a heavier mattress.

I believe you would need a high loft. My husband is a side sleeper and I bought him the high loft. He loves it. I am a stomach sleeper and i purchased the low loft. It was perfect for me.

yes it keeps it's form and firmness well...I have had mine for over 6 months now and it is all I sleep on

I'm not using mine any more. I am a side sleeper, but the problem I had was it made the bed too soft and my back started hurting. But that's just me. I purchased a solid genuine Dupont 2" foam topper that that worked out better for me.

I think it's great for a back sleeper. It also holds its shape well. I've had mine for about 6 months now and it doesn't even show signs of wear yet.

I am a stomach sleeper normally. With this mattress I became a back sleeper. I have noticed that side or stomach sleeping on this does cause some midback tightness and soreness in the morning but goes away usually by the time I get out of the shower. I still sleep really well.

The pillow holds it's shape fine. If you are a back sleeper you could really use any pillow, you don't need a special one. If you are a side sleeper this one is good though.

I don't have the experience myself with CPAP stomach sleeper, but I know 2 different people that do and they love this pillow. I hope that helps you. This pillow forms around you no matter how you lay.

I am a stomach sleeper about half the time and they are too fluffy for comfort. If you sleep on your side at all, they are fantastic!

Neither - I sent mine back. I am a side sleeper, and it was very flat (did not look like the photo). Ended up going with a Pacific Coast Double Down Around pillow from THEIR website. You then have a choice of soft, medium, and firm. I have a soft Double Down Around and a standard down stuffed into a single pillow protector, and boy is it ever fluffy and big!

I'm more of a side sleeper that's why I purchased a high loft plush, a low loft would be perfect for stomach sleeper, not as high so as to keep the your neck and spine perfectly aligned. Also this pilllow will not sink flat, will sink to certain level and remain solid, excellent pillow.

I'd say about 4 years. We bought ours in January 2009. I didn't realize what the problem was, but in the last months or year the bed has gotten noticeably less comfortable. So I'd say it had held up fine for 4 years. BTW, we really like it. I'm a back-and-stomach sleeper; my wife is a side-sleeper, with hip replacements. This compromise (over a firm polyurethane mattress foam slab mattress) has worked as a successful compromise. I also dislike other memory foam because it makes me hot; no problem with this one. I'm about to buy a new one.
