This pillow looks like anything but a low profile pillow. It's probably 8-9 inches thick. But it's so delightfully soft that my head just sinks down into it. Everything that I dreamed of! Except... I got a queen-sized pillow, so when my head sinks down into the pillowy, cloud-like depths, the other part of the pillow poofs up and kind of covers my nose and mouth to the degree I feel like I can't breathe as freely. I think (maybe) if I had gotten a standard-sized pillow instead of the queen-size, this might not be a problem?

I have figured out a good way to adjust where I lay my head that I think takes care of the problem, so it might just be a matter of adjusting and adapting. I don't want to send it back and get a different size because I am so in love with the pillowy softness that I don't want to do without it for that long !
