This fails to mention how he made it so that the side you’re laying on is never the cool side.
And they don't fold well either

I don’t get how people use so many pillows. I like a single, somewhat flat pillow. Anything too fluffy or more than one pillow is just way too tall and would make my neck bend. Do you multi-pillow people sleep partially sitting up or something? I sleep on my side or stomach.
suchwin@lemmy.world 9 months ago
You sleep on your side and stomach and use the same amount of pillow for both?? Stomach definitely needs the least amount of cushion, except for people who use no pillow I guess. And side sleeping has an entire shoulder’s width of support to make up for. Totally different positions, you need an arsenal of pillows to really dial in the ergonomics.

I sleep on my side and a thin pillow would make my head bend down. I need a thick pillow for my neck to be straight. Shredded memory foam gang whazzup

Reading the comments is making me feel like a psychopath. I guess I’m the only one who occasionally uses no pillows because one can be too much for me
Psythik@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Yeah you’re definitely a psychopath. My neck would be absolutely killing me without a pillow.
saigot@lemmy.ca 9 months ago
Are you a back sleeper or someone who sleeps on their arm? If I get in my side sleeping position without a pillow my ear isn’t even touching the ground.
bricklove@midwest.social 9 months ago
I usually sleep on my back but if I sleep on my side I always use a pillow. I have a pretty big head so if I’m lying flat with no pillow my neck is straight and not bending backwards
UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev 9 months ago
I think I sleep more often with a pillow on top of my head or hip than actually using the pillow as intended. If you need head/neck support, the comforter is better suited for the job as you can fold it to the right shape.

But you must rest your head somehow? Or are your shoulders 1cm broad?

This pillow right here. You can smush it into different shapes and it mostly stays. I’ve made a little crater in the middle for my back sleeping, then I can roll onto the taller ends when I sleep on my side.
Psythik@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Birch, I ain’t paying over $100 for a freaking pillow. There’s gotta be a more affordable way.
LordWiggle@lemmy.world 9 months ago
100 seems like a lot for just a pillow. However, you use it every night and it helps you waking up without back or neck pain. So, investing 100 dollars into something you use 1/3 of every day seems like it’s basically nothing. My pillow costed almost 200 euros, my matrass was 1800. I’ve had it for 10 years, so it costed me 2000/3650= ~0.548 per night, 7 to 8 hours per day. Almost 55 cents for proper back and neck support, so I don’t wake up stiff and sour. The longer I use it, the cheaper it becomes, but I think in a year or two I’ll buy a new set so I’ll be sleeping like a princess for another 10 to 12 years.
Plot twist: learning to sleep without a pillow is even better for your back and neck. So, there’s your cheap option.
Nokinori@pawb.social 9 months ago
I had to save up for it, but I’ve always slept poorly and wanted to go all in on the new bedding. Maybe I’m crazy, but I think it was worth the money.

My pillow came with 3 mini pillows that you insert on the middle of the pillow to regulate the height.
EtherWhack@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Casper’s standard pillow works like this. You can also use them separately to have a light and medium pillow.
Just note from my experience, that using the full firmness (pillow in a pillow) can give you a really stiff neck in the morning/day.

I just wonder how they make one side colder than the other.
fushuan@lemm.ee 9 months ago
Idk man, I just have a good pillow that’s big AF so that when I’m sideways it fits well and when I look up it compresses.
If you need more space maybe buy a bigger or a sturdier one (so you compress it less)
shalafi@lemmy.world 9 months ago
I got one of those Purple Pillows. Felt like an ass spending $100 on a pillow, but I was flush and my neck hurt.
It’s great on the bottom and seems like it’ll last the rest of my life. Doesn’t crush or absorb smells, water hose will clean it off.
OTOH, it’s too low for a single pillow, but I still dig it.
cogitase@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 months ago
I’m fascinated as to why “not absorbing smells” and the ability to be hosed down were major selling points to you.
shalafi@lemmy.world 9 months ago
LOL, ya got me.
Seriously, washing pillows often jacks them up into scrunched up balls. Also, ever smelled a pillow after it gets old? Not much you can do to renew it. A rubber pillow isn’t going to have issues like cloth. Just change the pillow case regularly.
saigot@lemmy.ca 9 months ago

No pillow is going to last 10years. Your brand recommends changing every 2-4 years depending on the type, of course they are biased to make that number lower, but you still are going to be hurting yourself if you leave it too long. If you wake up with a stuffy nose every morning that could be your pillow for instance.
If longevity is your biggest concern I would recommend something like a buckwheat pillow, when it ages out you can just replace the stuffing for cheap and the waste buckwheat is fully biodegradable. I love mine!

Verat@sh.itjust.works 9 months ago
Buckwheat pillow, holds it’s shape well and you can flatten it out or bring it back together to adjust the thickness, big downside though you kind of have to mold your head into it when you go to bed, really just boils down to adjusting the thickness, laying on it, and rocking your head back and forth on it a couple times to shape it.
MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 9 months ago
I make a nice gentle curved slope with three pillows. Layering them offset to each other, with the back one being both the thickest and close to being vertical and the front one, also the thinnest being closer to horizontal.
My head probably isn’t even over the first pillow, but it allows the getting two to be at a more comfy angle.
Wilzax@lemmy.world 9 months ago
1 pillow for your head, 1 pillow for your chest. Perfect sleep.
Lennnny@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Years ago my husband bought a random pillow from Amazon. I liked it so much I also bought one, but I guess it was a different manufacturer and I hated it. He’s not fussy so we swapped, and I swear to god this is the best pillow I’ve ever used. It was like $23 and the link is broken now.
sparkle@lemm.ee 9 months ago
Latex pillow. They do NOT lose shape/consistency at all. Trust me, I bought a latex pillow and I pretty much always use the latex pillow now. I use the larger memory foam pillow when I want a harder/thicker pillow, but otherwise I prefer the latex pillow since I don’t have to worry about constantly fluffing it up or anything. I still flip it around sometimes to get to the cold side of course, but not as much for other pillows. Some people want “ergonomically-shaped” pillows, which have a bump for neck/spine support, and those kinds of latex pillows exist too.
A lot of people swear by buckwheat pillows too. What I can say about them is they’re firm and heavy, they stay cold, they have a smell, and they whisper statistics into your ear when you’re trying to sleep. They’re probably better if you want more neck support.
tomkatt@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Get a quality bamboo pillow with crushed memory foam filling. You can control how much fill goes into the pillow, and if you change your mind you can always add or remove some of the fill.

I found some cheapo “side sleeper” memory foam pillow on Amazon and put a normal (but also old and compacted) pillow on top and that works surprisingly well for me.

That’s why I like memory foam pillows.
pooberbee@lemmy.ml 9 months ago
As a combination back- and side-sleeper, I’ve been considering trying to strap foam blocks to the side of my head so I can always get the right amount of support regardless of position.
freebee@sh.itjust.works 9 months ago
Exactly what I’m looking for! I’ld like back sleeping but with a slightly tilted, side supported head. Lean head all the way = neck pain. Head straight = can’t fall asleep. I’ve tried stuff with backsleeping+ side support for leaning the head, but the extra pillow on the head side isn’t strong enough (doesn’t last) and it all gets too hot around the head.
