My pillow was fine and now it is flat
Fill compresses. The loft a pillow ships with is the loft it has when new, and every published height in this index is a NEW height — no maker states what remains after a year, and none of them are obliged to. A pillow that has lost an inch has moved you out of your range as surely as buying the wrong size would.
What the pillow has to do
- loft in measured range — Pillow loft within the range your own measurement implies. This is first for every constraint in this cluster, because no surface is soft enough to rescue a pillow your head has already flattened.
