I'm all ears for recommendations. I've wasted money on pillows that were great for one night and then started causing problems. =(
Personally I love the memory foam, harder pillow from IKEA I got for £15. It's so comfortable that other pillows feel like shit compared to it. It's not for everyone though
Lol that's what I use! They're great!
Love that you have a meme for this exact thing
I went and tried the Purple Harmony pillow when there was a similar thread on Reddit ~1 year ago. It was fantastic! I wanted it sooo bad, but it was just too expensive. I did find out later that Purple runs sales a few times a year. Think the best was around Christmas and it was damn near 50% off. So, I've had it since Christmas and been very happy.
I've got some generic memory foam pillow, best pillow ever.
I'm on the buckwheat train. Tried different pillows and ended up with buckwheat. The pillow allows you to mold the shape to an extent which makes it extremely flexible. They also come in different sizes and good pillow sellers will either overstuff them or give you a bag with extra stuffing. You can open the pillow up (via zipper usually) to remove and add more buckwheat for even more customization. It's just extremely flexible overall.
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.
What’s a fuck feather
When daddy feather loves mommy feather very much...
When two feathers like to get down, know what I'm sayin?

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.
The thinner the pillow, the better. Fuck hotels
So... Do you just use the pillow case? 🤔 That would be quite thin.
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.
Me in every hotel
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 compressed to 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.
I can't handle that kind of pressure
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
I have the posture of an ice age caveman huddled for warmth.
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.
i have never found those things to be very comfortable on my face.
I have found the problem. You're supposed to be laying on it, not the table laying on you.
Where my no pillow gang at? You have an arm! Use it
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 take it you sleep on your back or stomach then? I think for people like me who sleep on their side, my neck hurts just from the idea of not using a pillow.
That's wild man. I sleep on my belly with one leg hiked up to my chest and a pillow that's big enough for my head and for me to hug and wrap around. Sure it's also bad for you but man do i get some insane sleep and dreams from it
My pillow is so thin my wife is like "well just put a towel in the pillowcase"
Two is just right for sleeping on the side if the bottom pillow is super firm and the top pillow is super not firm.
Seems more like a meme than a shit post
And here I am with a half stuffed pillow because a full pillow makes me choke on my sleep
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.
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.
But one folded over is just right.
I got a buckwheat pillow and I'm never going back. It's perfect.
I had a buckwheat pillow but the zipper broke six months in.
It's not fun cleaning up all the little shells at three in the morning.
I have whiplash and two pillows is just right. I'm blessed.
