How firm is this pillow? I currently have a queen latex pillow, and looks exactly as the one I have, want to make sure I get the same firmness.

I initially intended to get the shredded version of the same pillow, and ended up hand shredding this one. It feels soft, but is actually very firm. I love it.

I was asked this previously and in my critique from initially purchasing same I remarked that while it does indeed look identical to what we all had before and we've used/had our for years and years (too many) this one is not the same. It is perhaps construed as medium density and/or medium firmness - in fact my husband won't even use it as it's too soft - our old king's like yours are still firm these new ones - not at all. Disappointed as we are - when time permits I will be searching for something else to replace it. Hope that helps. Best,

Deborah is exactly right! I've been using these pillows for more than 15 years, and the quality and life of the pillow has declined substantially over that time. I've bought new ones every few years. The old ones lasted much, much longer than do the current ones.

aloha from hawaii! this pillow is what i would consider a softer pillow. if you want a firmer pillow, probably get an inflatable one that you can adjust to your comfort level. i got this for my son and he likes it a lot and it is comfortable.

I agree with Chris. My bed is really firm and also new, and I find the topper makes it more comfortable. It's a medium amount of "squish," so if you want an ultimate pillowtop feel, maybe go with a thick all memory foam topper.

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.

My experience tells me that it is a soft initial firmness with a deeper firmness under the top layer. So, firm with a soft pillow feel.

I would say a good combination of firm and medium. It's not too firm where you feel like you're snuggling a hard memory foam pillow, but it's not too soft where if you throw your leg over it that it squishes down to nothing. I bought because of spinal surgery. I would suggest to get a cover for it because it is not a soft feeling case it's in.

I actually purchased mine because of the reviews relating to the softness. Mine; however is incredibly firm. We cannot sleep on it. Moved it to the guest room and the guests complain that it is too firm. Our personal experience is that it caused more pain, mostly in the hips.

I am not at home, but would compare it to a queen size pillow. This is my second one of these pillows, and I love it!

It feels similar to my firm pillows, but still soft enough to squeeze and cuddle in. I love the lower back support and the height of the head pillow. I really like soft pillows, but this pillow has the perfect mix of firmness and softness with the support you need with a growing belly. Hope this helped.

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.:)

To start with Marge,, i ordered queen size pillows to go with the queen size sheets and queen size bed i have, my queen size pillow cases fit the "queen" size pillows i bought perfectly,, i dont know what size pillows you bought, I removed my pillow case for you, the size is on the tag, mine reads 20 x 30 inches, queen, if you tore off the tags, try going to the amazon site, look up your order, play detective, you,ll find the pillow size you bought, and then any pillow case of matching size should fit your pillows, a twin size pillow case wont fit a king size pillow,, and a king size pillow case on a twin size pillow will be loosey goosey,, hope i helped

Compared to pillows marked as "Firm", I would say, no, this is not firm. This pillow flattens with use and can be folded in half which is what I do when I sleep on my side, and I sleep on my side almost all the time. Strange as the folding pillow sounds, I love this pillow. It definitely feels cool. In my Floridian house everyone kept using my pillow so everyone now has their own Iso Cool.

This is a Great Pillow and have a few of them. As for the density it is Firm and Very comfortable! it comes with a cover and this helps with the density. if it is to hard just remove the cover. I recommend it to everyone and take it every place I travel to.

You would have to try the blue (less firm) one. I only have the black one so I cant make a comparison. The blue one would have been too soft for me.

They are similar to other foam pillows but this one I would honestly say it's firm but soft. You won't wake up with your neck hurting if you get these. I've also noticed I don't toss and turn as much in the night anymore. Hope this helped!

The pillow's firmness is determined by the amount of water you decide upon. If you choose to pour enough water into it, it will become very resistant to the depression you're concerned with. With too much water in it, I've found it to be too resistant. I hope that's helpful.

I use mine as decorative bed pillows, however it seems pretty firm. I would still consider getting a firmer pillow, specifically noted for lumbar support.
