Depends: Usually I would say no. But the truth is, concussions are very different from one another and are basically an altered or depressed level of consciousness (sometimes with neurological signs) . So, it depends on the past medical history. Make an appt with one of us and we will explore this further. If there are any neurological signs, please go to the ER. ).

No: In real life, a person does not get a concussion from hitting a pillow, regardless of whether it is soft, medium, or firm. Hypothetically, one could fall out of a second floor window, land on a firm pillow, and crack his head wide open.
