Well, these pillows are very dense, yet fluff well. Super hard to get into the pillow case. They fought me the whole time. I am typically a side-sleeper to a stomach sleeper. I can not sleep on my back, so when I sleep on them at night, it's like they are really flat, but they seem to be ok for my neck at night. Sometimes my ears get sore from laying one direction for longer than an hour or so, but these ones seem to be ok. My ear isn't sore when I roll over or turn my head. I do, however, need to add another pillow over top of this one, when I want to lay in bed & watch tv. They aren't solid enough for that.
