This pillow is only available in a queen size.
Overall, we thought this pillow offered us tremendous head and neck support.

We didnt experience any discomfort using this pillow and found it firm but still soft.
This pillow also performed well in durability tests.
Adjusting the fill is easy since you just have to unzip the pillow to add or remove.

Theres also some potential for waste if you dont need all the fill in the extra bag.
Its not as cooling as some other options.
This pillow initially felt on the firmer side.

Its firm and very lofty, and our neck felt uncomfortably elevated while using it.
