I personally am not comfortable sleeping on this pillow due to the fact i have 3 degenerative discs in my neck & lower back. Its ok to lean on when sitting up in bed. But its too high up for my neck . It actually hurts my neck to attempt sleeping on. Im sure for others without neck injuries it would be fine. I personally prefer my purple grid pillow it weighs a lot more but is lower & is 1000 % more comfortable on my neck.
