Low profile plush. Sorry, thought I'd made that clear enough from my early review.
-- Actually, I just went and looked at the container it came in, and that does say "Renewal" in small letters in the lower right corner of the front; so that's the sort we bought. Gardner only had the first two kinds from the list in the original post; each comes with a red sewn-in satin corner sash that says "Rejuvenite" and either "Low Profile Plush" or "High Loft Firm" but no further information. Given Gardner's no-return pillow policy and my wife's preference, we snipped the sash off with scissors before the first night.
FWIW, two nights of good sleep but slightly odd smell from the pillow makes me think I need to run it (or its cover) through the laundry......

This response is probably a bit premature, because we bought ours yesterday, but we loved 'em at Gardner Mattress and slept well on 'em last night.
The low-profile plush may be 5.5" when there isn't a head on it, but it does squish down. I found it squishes down to a very nice height for me when back sleeping - too low for me when side sleeping unless I stick my hand underneath (which is how I slept growing up, with a firm low-profile latex pillow as my preferred pillow).
I was a little sorry at Gardner to see that they didn't have a low-profile firm in addition to the low-profile plush (they do carry the high-loft firm, but it also squeezes down to the same feel, although maybe at a greater height as the pillow is a bit thicker to begin with). Neither of these pillows is particularly dense. Gardner also...

We went back in yesterday and lay on the firm, which my wife tells me was her preference to begin with (although she's been fine on the medium), and put in for an exchange.
My original concern about getting the firm was pinching in my shoulder when side sleeping - I've had some nerve problems in one wrist and was told by the therapist to be very careful about side sleeping on too hard a mattress (which our old one was - the comfort layer had essentially all gone). And things were mostly better on the medium.
But the Gardner guy (who doesn't know ILDs but showed us a few cubes of foam when we were in the first time, and I swear the medium's comfort layer was a lot squishier than the firm's) was relaxed and good and tells us we've got thirty days on the new mattress when it shows...

My wife and I have a new Gardner latex mattress, medium firmness. They're pretty close-lipped about construction and won't talk ILDs, but they do claim all-Talalay construction - though they spell it Telelay; inside the mattress casing their medium and firm are both 6" of a firmer latex under a 3" comfort layer of less firm latex. (Their plush and ultra plush have a 4" comfort layer and cost a little more.)
I'm a back-and-side sleeper. This mattress was supremely comfortable in the shop on both back and side over about fifteen minutes - no pressure points, cushy support; the firm mattress was a bit unyielding under shoulder and hip and I was a little worried about pressure points. But last night I slept on my back and woke feeling a bit like I was in a hammock. Particularly when I went to roll onto my side and found a bit...
