Better than the Gel. Initially, this pillow was almost to large when it arrived to sleep on. I tried it for two nights, and it was uncomfortable. On day three, I removed some of the stuffing and wow...what a difference. It’s now comfortable for back, side, and stomach sleeping. For the price i wish they would have included a small bag to hold the removed foam. I used a laundry wash bag for what i removed. Overall, I like this pillow.
