I like soft pillows, but the P10 is minimal, and that's no problem.
Due to a short neck, I have to use a fairly thin pillow.
They wear out too fast for my stingy pockets.

I really zone out when I am asleep so wouldn't know to fluff up the buckwheat one I don't think. Will think about it a bit more....or maybe splurge and get both since I am not paying for it....using a credit card doesn't count right?
I think most of us would have trouble fluffing a pillow in our sleep...well, most of the time anyway

Seriously though, I have the buckwheat hull pillow Pugsy is referring to, and once you get it comfy it seems to re-smush itself when you move around. I've never woken up with a crick from it, and I make it doubly rough as I tend to sleep on my side with my hand under my face.

The pillow comes over-stuffed; they advise you to remove about 1/3 of the hulls before you even start. Then you take out more/put back some until you get it just right. You save the remainder so that if the hulls crush down, you can add some more back in.
