What loft should a side sleeper start with?

Average side sleepers usually start around 3.5 to 4.4 inches of loaded loft, then adjust for shoulder width and mattress firmness.

Loaded loft is measured while the pillow is compressed, so it is closer to the height your neck actually gets.

Are these score notes final?

The current rows are score notes. They show the math path and should be replaced when retail units are measured.

Why link so many product pages?

A pillow claim is useful only when it points to the exact pillow page, specs, caveats, and money link.

Which review should I read first?

Start with the pillow that matches your sleep position and mattress firmness, then compare it against a cheaper control pillow.
