![]() The corners of the Pillow Cube pillow dig into my neck when I sleep on my back. Instead, for side-sleepers, I recommend looking at an adjustable pillow like the Saybrook or Coop pillows, which can be micro-adjusted to the perfect fit. In general, the 1-inch gap between sizes is the same as the size difference between a size 6 shoe and a size 9 shoe (for both men and women), so I would expect many people won't be able to find a perfect fit. My neck ends up angled uncomfortably when side-sleeping. Though the 5-inch starting loft is a relatively low starting loft, because the foam is incredibly firm and doesn't compress when I lay my head on it, the effective loft of the pillow feels relatively thick. As expected, now that I've tried the pillow, I can confirm that the 5-inch pillow doesn't fit my shoulder gap perfectly. Since that is a wide range of heights and body types, I was already skeptical that the pillow would fit perfectly. The website, as of my time of purchase, advertises that the different sizes allow the pillow to perfectly fit the pillow gap, but the website also recommends the 5-inch option for everyone between 5'4" and 6'3". The pillow is available in a 4-inch, 5-inch, and 6-inch size. The Pillow Cube Pro Pillow is a solid memory foam pillow in the shape of a rectangular box. When I use the Pillow Cube, the sharp angle digs into my neck. Instead, it's because our necks and shoulders don't connect in sharp angles, so regular memory foam pillows have a curve instead of an edge. The Pillow Cube advertises its unique shape (a cube or a rectangular box in the case of the Pro Pillow), but in my opinion, there is a reason why other pillows aren't shaped like a box, and it's not because no one else realized it was possible. I do not like sleeping on the Pillow Cube Pro Pillow, and I would not consider it worth purchasing again. This is also not a difference that would affect my review since my main complaint is the lumpiness and bounciness. Second, the MyPillow Premium comes in four loft levels (White, Yellow, Green, and Blue), while the MyPillow Classic only comes in two (Medium and Firm). I would not expect this difference to affect my sleeping experience on the MyPillow. First, the MyPillow Premium has a shorter width, coming in at 16.5 inches wide compared to the 18.5 inches of the MyPillow Classic. The jiggling of the elastic foam can be distracting as I try to fall asleep.īased on the MyPillow website, it looks like there are two main differences between the MyPillow Classic Series and MyPillow Premium Series. When I shift my weight on the pillow, I can feel the elasticity of the foam. The MyPillow reminds me of a bag of packing peanuts in the firmness, the lumpiness, and the slight elasticity. The pieces of foam also have an elastic bounce. On the other hand, MyPillow uses large chunks of firm foam without any polyester fiber, so the pillow is noticeably lumpy. The Saybrook and Coop pillows use softer foam and mix the foam with polyester fibers, so those pillows don't feel lumpy to me. My main issue with the pillow, though, is the nature of the shredded foam filling. Because the pillow can't be adjusted, sleepers have to hope that one of the four fill levels happens to fit perfectly for them and hope that they choose the correct one on the first try. The Green level pillow is too thick and firm for stomach-sleepers, but the White or Yellow fill level might work for that purpose. The loft is slightly too high for my comfort level when I sleep on my side, though I don't mind when I sleep on my back. The pillow barely compresses when I lay my head down passively. I measure the loft at about 7.5 inches, and the fill is pretty firm. Because the MyPillow is not fully adjustable, I would not recommend it for side-sleepers.
