    I have a tempur “soft” pillow and it’s too high.

    I used to have a beaten up old fuck feather pillow and you could mould it into any shape you needed, it was great! I miss my shitty old pillow, my futuristic pillow isn’t the answer.

      I feel this. I just moved and a certain family member ‘helped’ me move by throwing away stuff that I’d already dropped off at my new place that didn’t meet their arbitrary standards including, yes, almost all the bedding. So now I’m sleeping through the hottest part of the year with the most unforgivingly thick pillows and the winter duvet.

      I have a memory foam pillow (or something like that)for years and stays the exact same hardness. Would really knock someone out in a pillow fight with it. Best pillow ever

      This is the way. Any medium fill power down will be like that in a few weeks.

      Everything I’ve tried is worse than down. The memory foam pillows are better than the synthetic fake down pillows that are hot garbage.

      If your pillow is $10-20 it’s probably not a good pillow.

      So… You just use the pillow case? 🤔

      I have the purple pillow. It’s great! Both sides are “the cold side” and, if needed, you could kill a man with it!

        My wife has one of these. I don’t like the weird texture it has and often refer to it as her “space waffle” pillow, which gets a laugh out of her.

      I bring a couple of pillows from home whenever I can. Doesn’t work for flights, of course, but on shorter trips it’s a godsend.

        I use one of those bags with a pump to shrink my pillow to a tiny size for travel. Fits great in the luggage then.

      My mom uses like ten thousand pillows to sleep and I just cannot. I need a thin pillow, so I like ones that are already “broken in”. How do side sleepers manage to sleep with thick pillows and not hurt their necks?

      source
  • masterspace@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Life pro tip for side sleepers who need a super thick / fluffy pillow:

    Buy a king sized pillow and put it in a normal sized pillow case that has one of those little flaps at the open end. The extra stuffing in a normal sized pillow makes for the best thick pillow.

    Get one of those pillows where you can remove or add stuffing - Be your own Walter White.

    You should learn how to fluff your pillow

    Your body posture also plays a part and if you have horrible posture that can contribute to pain

      Side sleeper here. I put one thin one between my legs so they are parallel and the joints don’t press against each other. I have a thick “hugger” so my top arm doesn’t just hang unsupported and pull on my back muscles all night. The problem is my lower arm gets pressed on all night or I have to find the magic position for it that is comfortable.

      Back sleeping means I have to get the neck just right but then I usually snore and I get wacked by my wife.

    I’m a side sleeper but the human body keeps interfering (this arm is in the way). If I sleep on my back I snore and my wife wacks me.

      Tempted to buy a message table and sleep on it. Sleeping face down seems like the real solution here.

      Put bed next to wall, you sleep with back next to wall. That way the wall supports you and you can stay sideways big part of night.

    Two is just right for sleeping on the side if the bottom pillow is super firm and the top pillow is super not firm.

      Wait are you being for real? That can’t be good for your neck. I’ve fallen asleep like that 1 time when i got way too high on the zaza and i had the worst neck pain ever.

        Haven’t used a pillow in five years. Your spine is meant to be straight at night, so no pillow is the way to go. It is also helpful if you have breathing issues.

        I find sleeping on my recliner actually feels the best because my head is kept aligned with my spine better. I’ve read that in the old days (like 1700s and such) they slept sitting almost upright.

  • PatFussy@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    You need to find the right pillow. This is important for good quality sleep. For instance I know that i need a thin pillow if I am on a soft bed but a thicker pillow if I am on a firm bed.

  • nueonetwo@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I use a Costco memory foam on top of a really thin shitty feather pillow I’ve had forever. The memory foam is like a cm or two too short for my neck to be comfortable so the feather pillow is used to lift it up that extra bit.

  • solstice@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I use small pillows, sort of like the end pillow on a sofa, about the size of a shoebox maybe. It’s all the support I really need and it’s small enough to be able to shift it around easily into whatever shape or position you need. Give that a shot.
