Katie: Hey there, it's Katie from Mattress Clarity.
You probably heard of the brand, Tempur-Pedic.
I don't know if you know but they make a lot of different pillows using their Tempur memory
foam material.
I've got the Tempur-Symphony here.
It's a dual-sided pillow.
It's intended for all different sleeping positions.
I'm going to tell you more about it, but I also want to let you know that Martin's going
to come in here in a little bit.
6'7", a little bit of a heavier guy, broader shoulders.
He's going to give you his take on how the pillows fits for him.

Katie: Before we get started, if you've got any questions or you want a personal pillow
recommendation, don't hesitate to comment below.
I'll do my best to get back to you as soon as I can.
I've also reviewed a lot of different pillows.
I put together my favorites.
If you just want to Google Mattress Clarity Best Pillows, it'll be the first link that
shows up.
Let's talk about the Tempur-Symphony.
At Mattress Clarity, we like cool different pillows that are offering to do different
things for sleepers.
The Tempur-Symphony is no different here.
It's got this dual-sided nature to it.
If you can tell, there's a little bit of an arched design right here.
This is for back sleepers.
If you flip it over at the flat side, it's for stomach and side sleepers.
I also want to mention that the whole pillow is designed for medium to larger body types.
If you have broader shoulders or bigger build and you're looking for a pillow, this might
be an interesting fit for you.
The cover on the outside is 100 percent polyester and it's soft.
Not too soft but soft.
You can remove it and machine wash and dry it.
I'm going to unzip it, and I'm going to show you the inside.
The inside is a solid piece of molded memory foam.
If you press down, hopefully, you can see it's got that slower response, that true memory
foam feel to it.
I would say it's probably about a medium thickness.
Maybe, even a little bit firmer.
Medium firmness, maybe, even a little bit firmer than that.
There are no returns or trials on Tempur-Pedic pillows.
It's a little bit of an investment.
It does come in one size.
That's $99 but there is a warranty.
There are definitely a few things to like about the Tempur-Symphony.
First of all, the cover is easy to remove and wash.
Who doesn't like being able to easily care for their pillow?
I also love that there's something that's designed for people with medium to larger
body sizes because, honestly, if you want a pillow that's not going to move, not going
to change shapes and it's not going to fall flat on you, you've got those broader shoulders,
this could really be it.
I personally had the most success sleeping on my side on this flatter side, but you have
the ability to easily flip over and decide what's best for you.
That versatility is really nice.
Some things to consider.
I do think this pillow might be a little bit too much for petite individuals, especially
those who sleep on their stomach because this firmness here is medium to, maybe, even a
little bit firmer.
I think it's going to be too much of a strain on your neck.
Again, there's no trial period or returns with pillows so you are making a commitment
here, but it does come with a warranty.
It also is a little bit on the pricier side.
$99 for this pillow which may not just be in everyone's budget.
Martin: Hey guys, Martin here to offer a different perspective.
I am a larger person and a side sleeper.
I want to give my experience with the Tempur-Pedic Symphony here.
For me on my side, it felt actually pretty nice.
My head sinks in not too far.
I feel like I'm in pretty good alignment.
On my back, I use the other side of the pillow here.
On my back, I feel pretty good support.
I also feel like I'm not sinking in too far.
Again, in good neutral alignment there.
However, in terms of feel, it does have that memory foam like slow sinking feel.
That's not my preference.
I prefer a little bit more bounce.
If you're more of a memory foam person, you're going to like my style more of a bouncy person,
I would look elsewhere.
Katie: Tempur-Pedic has a lot of different pillows to choose from.
Then Tempur-Symphony is really interesting because it's dual-sided.
It's going to be a best fit for people who have broader shoulders, maybe, a little bit
heavier body type because that is who it's designed for.
Also, someone who knows that they like that memory foam feel, who doesn't want a pillow
that's going to change shape.
It's not adjustable, but maybe they don't know what side they sleep on.
Maybe, they sleep on multiple sides.
You can easily flip it at night.
That's who I think it's going to be a good fit for.
Again, there's no return so it's a little bit of a commitment.
If you got $100 to spend, definitely check it out.
