How soft is the pillow? Good for stomach sleepers?My husband sleeps on his stomach a lot. Is this pillow soft enough so when he sleeps, it won't raise his head too high?

The pillow is not super firm - and it does "soften up" over time. At 54" long, this is definitely a body pillow. I sleep with it full length against my body for hip, knee and back support - I don't think it's meant to be used as a pillow for head/neck support. Hope this helps.

It isn't too soft or firm you can mold it to the right softness by manipulating the filling. It is very comfortable

I found it to be soft....definitely not firm. (of course that's subjective, but I think it's accurate). Didn't raise my head too high.

Hmm. I'm a stomach sleeper but I use a small cylindrical neck pillow. I always have used a neck pillow. Everyone else in my family uses this pillow and loves it.

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.

If you like a softer pillow it may not be for you. It is fairly firm, especially at first. When I first got it I only slept on it half the night for about a week until I broke it in. I would call it medium firm but not so much soft. My dad who LOVES a softer pillow hates this pillow so if you want soft this may not be the one for you. If you want firm it may not be the one for you. Like Goldie Locks found out...It was just right for me (I like medium in the middle of soft and firm)

I usually sleep on my stomach, sometimes on my side. They are firmer but thinner than a conventional pillow, so sleeping on my stomach they are perfect. When I sleep on my side I top them with a regular pillow.

In my opinion this pillow is not ideal for stomach sleepers. This pillow works really well for keeping your spine straight. I have a bad back and sleeping on your stomach is the worse thing a person can do.

My daughter sleeps on her side and back. It may be too 'springy' for stomach sleeper. If it was a full adult using the pillow, probably fine, but I'm not so sure for little kids.

It is a fairly thick pillow but molds nicely to your neck and head. I would also say a medium to firm pillow. It squishes like a memory foam pillow. I absolutely love it. I have never been a stomach sleeper so I really don't know if it would be good for that.

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.

As a side sleeper I can say that while it is firm it contours to you so you get even support. Your shoulder and hip will sink in to it so your back actually ends up in a good position despite the fact that it feels firm. It also softens up a bit where you sleep over the first month or so but not so much that it is a valley or anything. I would actually recommend it for a side sleeper.

I love this pillow and I am a stomach sleeper myself. Highly recommend this!

My husband is also a stomach sleeper and has pain in his right shoulder. Since we have had this topper he has had little to no pain in his shoulder and sleeps better than he ever has!

Have not read that, but as a stomach sleeper who has owned this pillow for a while, it's quite different from normal fill pillows. The best comparison would be to a plush and soft pillow. It's a bit of a higher loft (thickness of pillow) than I would like for a stomach sleeper pillow, but packs down nicely (I have a large and heavy head, ymmv). One unexpected thing is that it does not breathe as well as fill pillows, so as a result, you may experience some earwax buildup. I adjusted my sleep position slightly to be closer to the edge of the pillow. Overall, still a good product and I get to sleep without problem 99.9% of the time.

Kim I think it all depends on personal preference and your size. If you look for my review, you'll see a very comprehensive description of this pillow. I even give measurements. I'm 5'3" and my husband is 6'. He found it comfortable to sleep on his back with his head in the middle but couldn't sleep on his side. I couldn't get comfortable because of neck problems laying on my back. Although it was fairly comfortable on my side, it still didn't give me the neck support I needed so the pillow is now a back rest when I'm sitting up in bed. The pillow is too wide across to fit under my neck. Again I suggest you read my review. Good luck. Kim I think it all depends on personal preference and your size.

Unfortunately often beads are packed differently: (for $5 each) I bought one (approx. 5") in Deals" and 7" at another discount store. The 5" was too soft, the 7" too hard. I made slits on the end of each and adjusted the amounts of beads in them: pillows should feel vvvery soft (!) to be comfortable for the head. After this I can say: beads in pillows = great invention! Before I bought the big pillow I was making the small one slightly tougher by "sawing out" a smallest part from pillow's end.

I sleep on my side and find it a reasonably comfortable pillow. You should know it is firm, perhaps even hard in the sense that most stuffed pillows will gradually shift their stuffing, settling into the shape of your head. This one does not do that very much, it is not hard like a brick but neither does it let you sink into it very far. While I can not speak for others, I would expect that if you like a solid, slightly yielding pillow, this is for you. If your preference runs to the more squishy pillows you probably will not like it.
