I figured it out. I bought a fancy $100 pillow that a certain hotel uses which is fucking bliss. Underneath that I have the flattest most useless “idea” of a pillow I’ve had for years. Combined it is the perfect amount of pillow. I can’t recommend enough purchasing a high quality pillow though, it’s a game changer for real.
Science has not gone far enough

It does sound kinda crazy, but you will use it for like 1/3 of every day. I can see a similar argument being appropriate as for buying high quality shoes.

I suffered for so long and then finally caved and bought a custom-fit pillow for side sleeping. Literally had to go to a physio to measure the space between my neck and the end of my shoulder. It was some of the best $200 I have ever spent, I cannot recommend it enough.

What does a pillow like that look like? Got a pic?
garbagebagel@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It’s one of these bad boys. Mine is specifically for side sleeping but they have back sleeper ones too.

Rookie numbers! I unironically use 7 pillows. 3 for the head, 1 for my back (so I can sleep on my side and lean against the wall), 1 between my legs, and 2 to sandwich my feet into.

Also, memory foam pillows.
Never using anything else.
scytale@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Do you have a link? Regular pillows are too thick for my head when lying on my back and it hurts my neck. I instead use a folded blanket so I can customize the thickness.
unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 2 months ago
Found it, buts its a german only site. www.dormabell.de/…/kopfkissen_dormabell-active
I got the 40x80cm “nature” version which is merino wool, but they also got fiber and down versions with the same concept. Im sure there are other companies with similar products.
unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 2 months ago
Its was a smallish local german producer iirc and its sheeps wool based. I can check later tho, maybe they have an online shop.

I sliced a memory foam pillow to half thickness with a single edge razor and put it in the same case as a firm pillow. It’s stiff as fuck for the first week or 2, but hoo boy is it the best pillow I’ve ever had. My wife kept stealing my pillow, so she got the other half of the foam pillow

Shredded foam, pretty much any kind, with a zippered end for adjusting. Toss it in the dryer on cool for 10m when it loses it’s floof.

Replace bed with hammock, no need for pillow
doingthestuff@lemy.lol 2 months ago
Even in a hammock I use a very small camping pillow - the Snoozy from Wise Owl - but I sleep on my side, I can’t fall asleep on my back. When I first tried hammock camping I was up almost 72 hrs straight trying to fall asleep on my back. But I just curl up my legs and sleep like a baby now.

I found out that those boxy memory foam pillows under a fairly flat “normal” pillow is basically perfect for me

Buy a blowup doll and inflate it juuuuust right.
captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
What I need is a pillow that is very soft and conformal on the bottom, with a kind of rigid foamy part on top. I sleep on my side with my arm under my head and I need a pillow that molds to my arm but keeps it separate from my head so I don’t pinch my sclipula.
Devanismyname@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Pfft two. I’m using 3 pillows. One for my head, one to hug, one to go on top of my head to block out sound and make me feel secure.
ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I have a single oversized pillow, it’s the best.

SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The real play is to get a soft fluffy pillow that you can adjust by moving the fluff around. I can virtually flatten it if my neck is bugging me, or stuff a bunch in one side for side sleeping. Mine is a sealy and I don’t think I’ll use a different brand again.
They got 2 packs at Costco.

Gerudo@lemm.ee 2 months ago
If you want to find the right pillow, go to a Sleep Number and try them out. It’s the only place I know that you can actually try them out before you buy, and their return policy is like 3 months. They have thin, thick, curved, memory foam etc.
