    5.0 out of 5 stars Soft vs Medium
    Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2024
    TL;DR, these are great pillows for the price and there is little difference between the soft and medium (but enough to notice if you have a preference). Unless you have a more extreme preference (super soft or super firm) one of these will likely work for you. Hopefully the detailed review below is helpful for someone!

    I had been looking for a new pillow for a while, and had ordered several that didnt work out. Too soft, too firm, too thick, too thin. I was starting to assume it was going to be a no-win situation for me, and I'd eventually have to settle on something that didn't meet my needs. I decided to take a final chance on these pillows, and I'm glad I did as they ended up working out well for me. Initially I struggled in choosing between the soft and medium options. In the end, I ordered both and found they were quite similar when inspecting the thickness/firmness with my hands. I decided to start with the medium thinking it was closest to what I was looking for, but I found my neck was a bit stiff upon first use, and didn't improve after trying another night. I then decided to try the soft, which for me was just right.

    I gave the pillows 5 stars because I've now used the soft pillow for several months with no issue, and I continue to sleep well. I've also found the medium pillow works well when I visit my mom, as her memory foam guest bed requires a thicker pillow for me to sleep well.

    Lastly, my one bit of advice would be to make sure you refluff and turn your pillow every so often. Because it's poly filled, the filling will have a tendency to begin to mush down a bit where your head lays if you don't. I noticed this after about a month of use, but was able to fix it once I made an effort to refluff on a regular basis.

    I love these pillows and sleep on them every night now. If you prefer a flattering less filled pillow that doesn't keep your neck too elevated, this is a great pillow. It's wide and soft but very comfortable. It keeps it's shape and can be fluffed easily. My puppy loves sharing my pillow in the mornings and this has enough room for both of us to snuggle. It's very washable and breathable too. Definitely worth the money

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great, soft, high-quality pillows, but too thick for me
    Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2023
    This will be a brief review of my pillow journey. I tried a few of the most popular pillows, like MyPillow, Amazon Basics, bamboo/shredded foam, memory pillows, but my most common complaint about them were that they were all just too high and firm for me. I am a restless sleeper and alternate between back, side, and stomach sleeping, and I strongly preferred the stomach sleeper/flat pillows with a polyester fiber/down alternative filling.

    Here's a ranking of my 4 top pillows:

    Eversnug Adjustable Layer Pillows - (#1)
    These were THE pillow for me. I had never heard of these pillows or the company, but I really like being able to adjust my pillow. These pillows came with 2 small, 2 medium, and 2 large pillows and 2 twin zippable pillow pouches. All of them were polyester fiber filled and somewhat flat and soft, but not lumpy. The pillows may not come the exact same sizes, but they are close enough for me. These are the pillows I ultimately decided to stick with, despite being slightly more expensive than the others at $50 for a set of 2 pillows.

    Nappler Bamboo Shredded Memory Foam Pillow - (#2)
    Before I found the Eversnug pillows, I was trying the adjustable bamboo shredded memory foam ones. These were my go-to whenever I was testing pillows I didn't like very much. The only downside to these pillows is that if you don't add enough filling, you could feel the edges of the shredded foam. Also, the "bamboo" cover was way too warm and the inner zipper would get too easily caught.

    Amazon Basics Down Alternative Pillow - (#3)
    I don't think I've ever been disappointed by an Amazon Basics product yet. These pillows were soft, amazing pillows, but they were 1-2 inches too thick/firm for me.

    MyPillow - (#4)
    Despite all the hype around these, they were too lumpy and 1 inch too thick for me.

    Like I said previously, I ended up going with the Eversnug Adjustable pillows, which I absolutely adore. A tiny bonus is that you can take the pillows you don't use and rest them on your sides or between your knees for some extra cushioning.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Best pillow ever!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2024
    I have purchased many many pillows in my lifetime and never really had one that I loved until now! This pillow is so fluffy it's like sleeping on a marshmallow! It is soft yet firm enough that I don't have to put my arms under my head like I have with many other pillows. I've had the best sleep ever since I purchased it and I have since purchased a second set for the guest room and for my daughter.

    This pillow is perfect. Not too flat. Not to fluffy. Great fit for my sleep.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Medium Density is flat and underfilled, soft is better. Get medium if you hate life or for in-laws
    Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2024
    I thought the medium density version would be a firmer version of the soft version but I was very wrong. The medium version is very flat and has no support. Medium density feels like a cheapo $2 black friday pillow that's only useful as a decoration. I suppose the medium density fill version does have its use, you can get this pillow for a guest bed. Perfect for the in laws/guests you dislike so they don't get too comfortable and overstay their welcome.

    The soft one is very filled and nice to sleep on. The soft one feels firmer than the medium version, probably due to the fact that its probably filled twice as much as the medium density. Would recommend to get the soft density fill version of this pillow.

    What’s this instead of the comparable Oprah pillows and Amazon essentials has always done. The right and the Amazon. Basic pillows are wonderful. I love the medium firmness. The soft would’ve been too soft. Quality and finish excellent.
