Can anyone tell me what the real difference is between the side sleeper and standard version? Is it just length and width or is it thickness as well?

The standard pillow is 24 x 18 x 4 inches; the side sleeper is 23 x 17 x 2 inches; if you sleep on your side, you don't want a pillow that is too high, as it puts your neck at an incorrect angle. The side sleeper is a lower pillow, but is also good for sleeping on your back. It's just what you prefer; some people like to have their head up higher, especially those who suffer from gastric reflux issues.

I am a side sleeper too. I think it is denser than memory foam for example and instead of sinking into the topper it seems to give you support. It works very well for me. Also it doesn't have any toxic fumes. I think it is a Wonderful topper!

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.

I have the 9-inch premium mattress. It is not bad at all. It is not thin. It is heavy. It is firm and does not feel like an oversize sponge at all.The two other things I did get for mine were a "Luna Premium Hypoallergenic Zippered Bed Bug Proof Mattress Encasement 9" Height - Full Size"and a "Royal Heritage Home Burgandy Full Size Futon Cover"These are not very expensive but make the whole unit seem like it is.

Hello Ozog! I measured it especialy for you))) Neck support area is not same thick everywhere))) Yes. From one side let's say it's bottom for me, so for my neck: right in the middle it's 3,5" and at the sides it's 4 1/4" (which is exactly my shoulder side). So when I sleep on my back it's lower and when I sleep on my side I just turn to one of sides and my shoulder relax too. But if you're man you'll enjy to turn it upside down and you'll sleep on side which is opposite to my bottom) Measurments there are 4" in the middle and 5 1/4" at the sides. Thus man shoulder will relax too. Sorry for mistakes, I always in hurry when typing. I can just add to my previous wow that time passed and I still think it's the best solution for my neck. And it's universal for man and woman. So you can turn it and find your comfortable side. If you buy it, you'll be very surprised about it shape. This picture doesn't show sides. Sellers do not realize that they could sell much more if they show sides.

I have the 12" for my bed and the 8" for guests. My mother is a side sleeper, and she slept great on this bed! Since it conforms to your body, it gives great support. You will not need two pillows!

Generally, the thicker the mattress, the more plush/soft the mattress will be. The 8" is designed for back sleepers. The 10-12" is designed for back/side sleepers. The 13" is designed for all around sleeping, including on the stomach. Memory foam mattresses will contour to your body during your rest, as it reacts to temperature. It will support your full body by contouring to your body shape. Our spring mattresses, still give support, as your body will contour to the individually wrapped coils.

The standard pillow is 24in long and 15in wide. My pillow (low plush) expanded to about 5in deep, but I also was not patient and did not allow it to fully expand before starting to sleep on it. The direction say to leave it on a flat surface for 24 hours before use due to being vacuum sealed for shipping purposes, fyi. Actual results may vary. I put mine in a full size jersey pillow case and it has some extra length space, but not much in width. I use it on top of another pillow, as I sleep on my side and it's just a bit too thin to keep my neck straight with my broad shoulders. But I still love it!

the thickness is about the size of the pointer finger (lengthwise) hope this helps. It's a small and thin pillow

It's like a bag of beans... If you lay it flat, it will be of uniform thickness. If you bunch it up to one end or edge, it will be much thicker at that side and less thick at the other. It works well for side-sleeping.

Jennifer - I am a side sleeper too and I bought the HIGH loft version and LOVE IT. :-)

I still have the one that I had from some 30 years ago. It hasn't fallen apart yet and it doesn't smell or anything. I don't remember when the other one died but it's been gone awhile and I think it went into the dryer or something one to many times and just crumbled. That was in the days when I put everything in the dryer. The one's I bought in the last few years I hope to last me the rest of my life. But I don't have a specific answer for you. But I will say this..shop around...these pillows can be found under various names with different covers but they are all quite similar and the savings can be over $100 a pillow. Next there are what they call lofts (how firmly the pillow will hold your head) and also thicknesses which are more important for how you sleep. A side sleeper usually needs a higher pillow while a back sleeper needs a lower pillow but probably more firm. I myself am a side sleeper and I like the medium density (loft) when I can find it. The firm are too intense for me. I've bought high loft plush queen size and I've bought high loft medium queen size and I've bought low loft plush queen size and I'm happy with all of them but my favorite is the high loft medium which are hard to find. I've only ever returned the firm ones.

I sleep on my side as well. I have had my pillow now for several months. It works wonderfullly. I use any type of pillow case. Cotton breathes the best and is soft on your skin however you can use any pillowcase you like. I got the standard /queen size. It is more standard than queen. if you like a larger pillow you can use the king but i have found this size to be perfectly sized for side sleeping. hope this helps

I'm a side sleeper. Very comfortable! I can't speak to trying it on your stomach. I have never done that.

I can not tell you about the 8 inch version but from everything I have read the thicker the foam mattress the softer it should be. Hope this helps

It is smaller, It comes in a flat box that is a manageable size. This is a great product. We used it as a bassinet where we could easily move baby from room to room. We never got to use the co-sleeper function but I think that it would be great.

I own a 3 inch and a 2 inch. My 2 inch is in the guest room and i have to say... it would work well for a back sleeper but the 3 inch is very comfortable (on my bed) for the side sleeper. It also depends on the size of the individual. My guess would be the heavier the person.. the thicker the pad? My husband is 190 pounds and the 2 or 3 inch works great.
