The Scrumptious Side Pillow is HoneyDew's answer to a problem side sleepers know well: most plush pillows collapse and most supportive pillows feel like a brick. It uses a tall, generously filled shredded copper-infused foam core inside a scooped cover, so the first inch feels soft while the body of the pillow stays high.
It is also physically large. This is not a subtle pillow — it is a wide, lofty slab designed to fill the whole gap between your ear and the mattress, with a notch that gives your shoulder somewhere to go.

Yes, if you're a side sleeper who wants a plush surface without giving up loft. Pull out a handful or two of fill on the first night — it ships deliberately overstuffed.

Firmness and feel
The first impression is plush — the cover and the top layer of shredded fill give easily, which is why side sleepers who bounce off firm cervical foam tend to get along with this one. Underneath, the fill volume does the supporting, so the softness never turns into collapse.
As shipped it is too tall for most people. Removing one to two handfuls took it from a stiff, over-inflated feel to a medium that let the shoulder settle properly.
Support by sleep position
Side sleeping is the whole design brief and it delivers: the loft holds through the night and the shoulder scoop stops the pillow from wedging your arm forward, which is the usual cause of a dead, tingling arm by morning.
Combination sleepers can make it work by taking out more fill, but a back-heavy sleeper will find even the reduced loft tall. Stomach sleepers should skip it entirely.
Cooling performance
HoneyDew pairs copper-infused shredded foam with a knit cooling cover. The lighter, shredded construction is designed for more airflow than dense solid foam, though Mr. Squish has not measured its temperature performance.
Materials and maintenance
The zippered cover comes off easily and washes well; the shredded fill needs a ten-second fluff each morning to redistribute after a night of being compressed. HoneyDew sells extra fill separately, so you can add loft back later if you strip out too much.

Final verdict
The shoulder scoop and adjustable fill make Honeydew worth comparing if a rectangular pillow crowds your shoulder. The shape and premium price are reasons to compare a conventional adjustable pillow before buying.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to remove fill?
Many owners report removing some fill. Start with one handful, try the new loft for two nights, then decide before removing more.
Will it fit a standard pillowcase?
Not comfortably. It is oversized — use the included cover or buy a case sized for side-sleeper pillows.
Does the copper actually do anything?
Copper is thermally conductive and helps pull heat out of the fill. Treat any antimicrobial claims as secondary.
Is it good for neck pain?
Yes for side-sleeping neck pain caused by too little loft. If you need a fixed cervical curve, a contour pillow is the better tool.
