Does this pillow cause discomfort if you sleep with an arm under the pillow due to it's rather heavy weight for a pillow?

I haven't had that problem, but if you sleep with someone, it's difficult to move quietly because it's so big.

I don't recommend sleeping this way with this sort of pillow. I used to sleep like that until I started sleeping with buckwheat pillows. Once you get used to them they support you enough that you don't need to sleep like that.

I sometimes sleep with my forearm under the pillow, and I don't experience any discomfort. The buckwheat will disperse around your arm, so you won't have the full weight of it on you.

No. It molds so well to your body it actually makes side sleeping more comfortable. I wasn't sure if I'd like this pillow, but now I'll never go back to any other kind.

I would say that is true. For me it was awkward having something so firm between my head and arm though,

Yes, this pillow is heavy. I have really enjoyed mine and so has my husband so we intend to buy more in the future.

Due to an injury in the military and joint replacements, I sleep on my back most of the time with the only changes in the elevation of my head. I have NO problems sleeping with this mask and do not consider the mask's velcro to be thick, nor do I feel it, nor have it wake me from sleep. I'm sure this is the only 'noticeable' you meant.

It seems to me that it is packed in very tightly. You would have to rip out seams in order to accomplish and then I don't know how the pillow would feel. It is very firm.

I am using this pillow in an unusual way to sleep - I curl up inside it and straighten out the edges, so that it wraps around me. I have to hug another smaller pillow to make sure that my top arm doesn't get uncomfortable, but it is working really well so far! Neither arm has fallen asleep in the 5 nights I've used it, and I haven't had any leg cramps either. Hope that helps.

I sleep on my back or side so I'm unable to give you any guidance. I really like this pillow and don't know why it wouldn't be comfortable for those sleeping on their stomach too.

The pillow is very thick. I have only slept on mine for 4 nights and am still getting used to it. I think last night was better.

If you a a petite person who is also lightweight (I am 5'4" and 105 lbs) then this pillow might be too thick for you-- as it was for me. It's very firm (for a petite person who doesn't have much weight to put on it).

I am a tummy sleeper as well, and have found my pillow is a bigger problem than the bed. I don't sink into this bed much at all (it's nicely supportive) so my back/neck is more bothered when my pillow is too thick. I've found a thin pillow is best to avoid the arching that causes aches and pains. I use a hull pillow so I can adjust the thickness, and between that and this bed my back has given me very little trouble.

my pillow was firm not hard. It was much firmer that a regular pillow. I have been sleeping on it for abouta month and with the exception of me wanting it to be longer I don't have any other problems

No issues at all. I usually rest my arm on the arm rest while shifting. The arm rest isn't in the way at all (with me at least) even when not resting my arm on it while shifting. So, no issues on my end.

I have not been able to get comfortable on this pillow. I am a side sleeper but did not sleep much. I tried for a week but am not using it anymore.

I had to sleep with one hand under the pillow, but sometimes it would fall asleep if not positioned well.

No, I've never had that issue with this pillow. I keep it in the cover it comes with and also use a regular cotton pillow case, and it is always very comfortable.

I recently used it a ballgame and put a med size water bottle in it. I had to move my fingers over a little bit and did not notice any weighing down of the arm rest. It really is a pretty sturdy chair. Hope this helps...

It did it for me, to the extend that you position the 'J' hook correctly and right under your chin - while the other lateral sides of the pillow are in their intended place 1) pinned tight behind the back of your head and 2) tight against your right cheek. Feel the under-chin area yourself, you'd notice that it's a soft tissue area (no bone or large muscle there), so it's not terribly comfortable for the J hook to fit under there, for sure. Realize that our heads are quite heavy to be perfectly held up with a soft pillow. But this comes close to doing so, with some effort.
