Pillow Ratings >>
Pillow Type Firmness -- Based on Data From Over 5,700 Actual Owners
The chart below shows the firmness level of pillow types based on owner / user data. Keep in mind that this represents what is often, but not always, the case; a particular brand, model or even individual pillow may go against these findings. Also, remember that a firmer pillow will tend to offer better support than a softer one. Those pillows with firmness in the middle of the scale tend to offer a good compromise between softness and firmness / supportiveness.
