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?
It’s one of these bad boys. Mine is specifically for side sleeping but they have back sleeper ones too.
What if you do both?
I’m not super sure but I think they just give you a different size that’s better fitted for in between. Mine is just a tad bit too tall if I sleep on my back, but I had requested a side sleeper only.
Why does that cost so much? It’s just a different shape it can’t cost that much more to make than a normal pillow lol
The material is significantly better than other memory foam pillows of similar shape that I’ve had, but I suspect part of it is the gimmick too of like a medically approved custom sized pillow. I’ve had it for about a year now though and unlike other memory foam ones I’ve had, it’s kept its shape very well and is still as comfortable as when I first got it.
How back sleeper pillow differ?
A back sleeper pillow is the right size and shape to fit in a coffin, which is the only time you should be “sleeping” on your back.
the only time you should be “sleeping” on your back
Now why would that be? 🤔
I too wish for the secret knowledge

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

2 pillow connoisseur here, it’s not perfect but it’s def better than being a 1 pillow andy.
Buy a blowup doll and inflate it juuuuust right.
I found out that those boxy memory foam pillows under a fairly flat “normal” pillow is basically perfect for me
I use a “cube” memory foam pillow with a cooling side. It’s the best thing I’ve ever bought
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.
Replace bed with hammock, no need for pillow
I have a single oversized pillow, it’s the best.
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.
