Which one
The opening is the whole point, and only one of them measures it. The Pillow With A Hole Ltd. publishes 11 x 9.5 cm (4.5 x 3.5 inches), positioned 12 cm (5 inches) from the edge; Blissbury publishes none.
Only one of them measures its opening. The Original P.W.A.H® (V1) publishes 11 x 9.5 cm (4.5 x 3.5 inches), positioned 12 cm (5 inches) from the edge. Ear Pillow describes the shape and sends you to another page for the numbers, so this page alone cannot tell you whether what goes in your ear will clear it.
They start from different heights. The Pillow With A Hole Ltd. is 3" as supplied against Blissbury at 4–5". Both adjust, but adjusting adds fill rather than inventing structure — so the lower one is the bigger climb if your measurement sits high.
One of these states its trial two different ways. Blissbury: The page states both a 100 Night Sleep Guarantee and a 30 night sleep trial. That ambiguity is itself worth weighing when the trial is what protects you.
