Who Makes It?
The TEMPUR-Symphony pillow is made by TEMPUR-Pedic, an extremely well-known mattress and bedding company, that merged with Sealy in 2012 to become TEMPUR-Sealy International. TEMPUR-Pedic – the brand – is well known for being the first to take memory foam mattresses mainstream. For more information about TEMPUR-Pedic and their mattresses, check out our review: TEMPUR-Pedic ReviewPillow Construction
The TEMPUR-Symphony Pillow has a 5” profile and is filled with a single molded piece of Tempur-material (it’s basically proprietary Viscoelastic Polyurethane foam aka memory foam). This piece of foam is dual-sided – one side has a gently arched or raised side with a flat top that is said to be ideal for back sleepers. The alternate side is flat and the brand says it’s intended for side and/or stomach sleepers.![Tempur-Symphony Pillow Review](https://www.mattressclarity.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/TempurSymphonyPillowReviewSide1.jpg)

My Experience
The TEMPUR-Symphony pillow immediately intrigued me because it’s intended to be a good fit for back, side, and stomach sleepers – an ambitious goal for any pillow. The dual-sided design is the key to making this a good fit for all types of sleepers: One side is flat for side and stomach sleepers, and the other side has a raised section that mimics a small hilltop that’s for back sleepers. TEMPUR-Pedic is known for its signature proprietary Tempur-material – essentially memory foam – bedding products, so naturally, this pillow is filled with a solid piece of memory foam with a 5” height. I’m a natural back and side sleeper and every now and then I end up on my stomach overnight. During my review of the pillow, I tested both sides of the pillow but kept coming back to the raised side designed for back sleepers – even when I slept on my side. My initial thought about the pillow is that (for me) it felt firmer than I thought it would. It’s described as medium feel but, at least initially, the pillow felt even firmer to me.![tempur symphony side](https://www.mattressclarity.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/tempur-symphony-side.jpg)

Overall
From my experience, I think the TEMPUR-Symphony pillow will be the best fit for sleepers (of any position) with a medium to large frame who are looking for a supportive memory foam pillow.![Tempur-Symphony Pillow Review](https://www.mattressclarity.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/TempurSymphonyPillowReviewFullCover.jpg)
