I have a King size pillow, and they seem to make it a little thinner than their standard size pillow. I would say its about 3 inches thick, but if you were to get a smaller size, it may be a little thicker. I am sure the manufacturer could give you an exact measurement. One thing to keep in mind is the pillow won't sink like a normal pillow. It will be more supportive. I hope that helps.

I have similar problems. the pillow is 5 1/2" thick. it's really perfect, because it's a very firm pillow. yet it doesn't feel firm once you put your head on it. it really is difficult to explain, when I don't even understand how it can make such a difference. after years of waking up with neck pain that would make my tendons so tight it caused severe migrains, I would tense up more and add back pain to the mixture. it is the best purchase I ever made, and I haven't had pain since 1st night I got pillow. I really recommend it, and I can't think of any other product that helps pain that I would ever recommend.

Around the 3-4 inch area. It will compress smaller when you lay on it of course.

I think it's about 6 inches thick. It does give some support for side sleepers but it also gives in a little to conform to your head. Personally, I like it and afar trying several Malouf pillows, this is the one I kept.

I laid my pillow flat on the floor and it measured 5 1/4 inches. Hope this helps.

The pillow is about 4" thick, but when you lay your head on it, your head sinks down. My wife and I agree that these are the best pillows we have ever had. They are worth the premium price.

It is 5" deep. I sleep on my back if my fibro acting up laying on my side cause to much pain.

Hi, I've no idea. I tried this pillow and it is not for me. It is too firm and lumpy and the bamboo cover is rough to the touch. Someone suggested I needed to fluff it in the dryer but that was not the problem. This pillow might work for a back sleeper but for side sleeping I found it to be a disaster.

I do not like firm mattresses myself ..I have a beauty rest mattress..but my back was bothering me. .I added this topper & was surprisingly pleased..It is about 3 inches thick..but it works great for me..it is hard to find a product that actually works..I love it

This pillow has two very different sides. One side has a fiber fill and the other is a cool memory foam side. I personally prefer a cool pillow so I always sleep with my head on the cool side. I am a side sleeper and this pillow works so well for me. My signifant other is a back sleeper and uses the same cool side. I have to mention that the foam side is not very thick, (maybe 3/4 of an inch layer) but having that layer of coolness next to your skin with the support of the fiber fill under it is very comfortable. We obviously love these pillows. Hope this helps.

It is thicker; the center is about 6" deep. This pillow has solved all of my sleeping pain issues, and I have permanent disc damage in my neck. I highly recommend this natural foam. We tried about 10 other types of pillows before finally finding this one.

It's not bad. Add it with a cush sleeping bag, it's ok. Of course a thicker pad would help, but I'm a side sleeper too and I didn't have problems with it.

No, it won't be too thick. It's basically like a regular pillow that is very long.

About 2 to 3 inches not very thick. My sister that needs a hip replacement can not sleep on the the bed that has this on it even though the matress underneath is a pillow top. If you want more comfort support for your self, your family or a guest go to a 4 inch or higher memory foam topper. My husband uses a twin size one at the firehouse he got from Amazon that has an egg creat and memory foam mattress that makes it 6 inches and it does not hurt his back.

Dean, I sleep on my side, I don't think it compresses too much, honesty I don't think it compresses enough. It's a very firm pillow.

Very full which some people could consider firm, but extremely soft. If that makes any sense. There is no hardness to the pillow. Very thick and deep.

Thank you to the two responders on the thickness. I can't use a high pillow.Product dimensions shows this pillow is 3" think. Sounds like this is very misleading.seems like amazon ir the mfg. or both are not concerned about giving true dimensions.

2 inches thick. Its not like the heavy density foam like a stiffer foam mattress. But its not like the foam that can tear easily. I love ours still. We have a pillow top mattress but from having our last girl I wanted more cushion and it awesome.

For me this pillow is huge. I am a back sleeper and could not use it at night, so thick this pillow is. It provides firm support that might be good for a side sleeper. I use it for support when I watch TV on my couch.

I sleep on my side. I use another small pillow on top. It is comfortable and I have not had any problems.

Hi Grace, no, the back is not uncomfortable nor thick. However, I sleep mostly on my side so I don't know if it would be uncomfortable after a long time. I wouldn't think so. Other masks are bulky on back, so I know what you mean. Good luck!

Here's what I said in my review, "It may be thin relative to a standard king size pillow but is not even close to being really thin. " This is as thin a foam pillow I've found but it's still too thick for me. If anyone knows of one thinner, please reply to this query and let everyone know... Thanks

The thickness (from bottom side that lays on bed to top of pillow on which sleeping person's head lays) is about 3.75 inches on both sides. The smaller edge (what I use) on top side of the pillow (the side on which the sleeping person lays) is about 3.75 inches (fits the length of my neck perfectly), and the larger edge is about 5.25 inches wide (would be for a taller person with a longer neck than mine). My old whiplash injury would give me constant grief if it weren't for this wonderful pillow!
