is this pillow so firm that when sleeping on your side your ear begins to throb?

Yes. The middle is supposed to be sunken & soft but it's not quite sunken enough; there's still some pressure there. :-/

I have found it very comfortable; the indentation in the middle is larger at one side than the other, so you can turn it whichever way is more comfortable for you.

In my experience with this pillow, I would not use the word "firm." I can use it sleeping on my back or on my stomach. It has given me a 5-star experience. And, it fits in carry-on.

I do lay on my side on the pillow However, that sort of defeats all the purposes and I try not to. It was difficult at first but now I usually stay on my back all night long and I am sleeping much more soundly than I was before I got the pillow. I love it.

Hi, the answer is not very. I was looking for a much firmer pillow. However, if you are looking for one that is not, this is the pillow for you. Best.

No it's broad flat and and very soft so I don't notice it. I sleep mostly on my side and stomach.

Hi Kiki, regarding this pillow, I really like it a lot. As a person who sleeps on their back, it's very comfortable and really helps my chronic neck pain but using this pillow for sleeping on my side doesn't work at all for me. It's not comfortable and my face does slide back into the center of the pillow. I hope this helps you. Sandy

Absolutely!! At least I do. I have back issues, so when I sleep on my stomach it's bad news, so I sleep on my side all the time!! They are so soft, and fit all the way inside your ear, they don't interfere with whatever way you sleep.

It's a bit on the "firm" side at first, but over time it softens up, but not too soft, and is the BEST PILLOW for me as I have major neck issues to the point that I wake up with a SEVERE MIGRAINE if my neck is out and I have gone through 15 different pillows ranging from other memory foam pillows, down pillows, you name I tried it and this pillow I finally found. LOVE LOVE LOVE this pillow!!!! Thank you!!!!

I sleep on my side as well. Only reason I noticed any noise at all is because it was mentioned on reviews by those who would obsess over such things. Truth be told, one's own hair makes noise so it is about the same category as that. In other words, the brain ends up overriding these little things after a bit. On the other hand, being that the pillow conforms so well, you end up not moving nearly as much as you may trying to adjust a traditional pillow so I say it's a wash, overall.

Yes. I sleep on my side primarily and on my back at other times. It's an amazing mattress.

As a side sleeper I can say that while it is firm it contours to you so you get even support. Your shoulder and hip will sink in to it so your back actually ends up in a good position despite the fact that it feels firm. It also softens up a bit where you sleep over the first month or so but not so much that it is a valley or anything. I would actually recommend it for a side sleeper.

Not very. I'm having major low-back problems when I wake up. I'm looking for a way to make it feel firmer or else I'll have to find a firmer one. Good luck!

yes. it's very noisy at every speed. if u put it at slow speed during sleep u can't sleep. Im very sensitive to noise. I only use it when im out side.

Interesting you say that. I too used to have a sore ear from sleeping on my side, but I haven't since I got the pillow. Not sure if that's the reason or not, but it hasn't bothered me in a while. Wish I could be more helpful and assure you 100% but it makes sense, as the pillow is constantly conforming to your head as you turn.

It's pretty firm. My husband and I have talked about taking some stuffing out. I thought after a few months now that it would soften up, but no luck. It's hard for me to use on my head because many times I turn on my stomach, but it's great for me to sleep with on my side like in the product picture.

Hi,I'm sorry to answer late. When you sleep on your ear with no pain .There is no feeling of pain. And I choose the small earplug. And I don't know what is the sound canal wide.Ha-ha

No, it keeps it's shape well through the night. It is a firm pillow, maybe too firm for some people. I personally like side sleeping with it though I tend to back sleep most of the time.
