For the dedicated back sleeper like myself this pillow is tops among all I’ve tried. Yes it’s quite flat (which I love), but it’s soft and cool and very supportive on the neck. There’s something about the way the material compresses under your head… I really miss it when I’m sleeping away from home. FYI I find this pillow too flat for my occasional side sleeping, so I have a different one better suited for that. Together these two pillows make for the ultimate combo.
