My verdict
I liked the Ultra Slim Sleeper because it was thin enough for my habit of ending up on my stomach with an arm under my head. Its solid foam felt more consistent than the shredded-foam pillows I had used for the same position. My original review includes measurements and a look inside the zippered cover.
Ultra Slim Sleeper vs. an adjustable-fill pillow
| Decision factor | Original Ultra Slim Sleeper | Shredded-fill alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Height | Low, fixed 2.5-inch advertised profile in the model I reviewed. | Loft may be adjustable by adding or removing filling, depending on the model. |
| Feel | One continuous piece of foam; I found its support more consistent for my position. | Looser fill can be reshaped, but may shift as you move. |
| Good fit to explore | Adult stomach sleepers who prefer little pillow height. | Someone who wants to experiment with loft rather than commit to one thickness. |
| Current buying terms | Check model availability and seller policy; the 2015 price and shipping claims are historical. | Check model-specific care, return rules and fill type. |
This is a comparison of designs and my original experience, not a new head-to-head laboratory test.
My original firsthand review
My original observations and photos are preserved below. Prices, shopping references and quoted specifications describe earlier products and listings.
The Ultra Slim Sleeper Memory Foam Pillow is a pillow designed for stomach sleepers. It measures only 2.5 inches thick but that's a good thing if you want to ensure that you have adequate spinal alignment while laying on your stomach.
Ordering
You can get the Ultra Slim Sleeper memory foam pillow from Amazon.com. Since it qualifies for Prime you can get free 2 day shipping. This pillow has an almost perfect rating on Amazon and I think the reason for that is because people seeking this out already know what they want in a pillow and someone has finally come along to accommodate.
When Your pillow arrives it will come shipped in a slim box. It is not shrink wrapped so it comes out of the box ready to use. It also comes with a bag to keep it clean while in transit and is handy if you want to store it.
Findings
I start out trying to sleep on my side then end up on my stomach. I also sleep with an arm under my head. Not the healthiest sleep position but it's a bad habit. This is the first solid memory foam pillow I have used that is slim enough where I can do this without throwing my neck out of alignment. I have used shredded memory foam pillows in the past to do this and they work well too although you don't get the consistent support like you do with a solid foam pillow.
Below are some more pictures to give you an idea of the thickness and dimensions.
Note that the pillow also has a washable cover that can be unzipped.
Conclusion
If you're a stomach sleeper that likes the feel of memory foam pillows but find your next out of alignment, try this one. This is the first one I have come across that is soft and supportive but also thin enough for me to enjoy. My experience is based on adult use and does not establish a suitable pillow for a child. Keep pillows out of an infant’s sleep space, as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. For older children, ask their pediatrician about individual needs.
You can get this pillow via Amazon.

Questions about this review
What made it work for me?
Its low profile let me use it in my usual stomach-sleeping position with an arm under my head. That was my personal fit experience.
How did it compare with shredded foam?
I had used shredded-foam pillows in the same position, but preferred this solid foam’s more consistent support.
Can the whole pillow be washed?
My original account identifies a washable removable cover. It does not establish that the foam core can be machine washed; follow the product’s care label.
Is this a review of a children’s pillow?
No. The documented testing was my own adult use. The earlier account included a general comment about smaller pillows for children, but no child-use test was documented.
