That's why you don't buy all your pillows from the same supplier.
Fking hell, I knew it!
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.
What's your pillow brand?
$100 for a pillow? hell naw
Buy once cry once
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?
It's one of these bad boys. Mine is specifically for side sleeping but they have back sleeper ones too.
My problem is I sleep on all sides at any given moment. Never finding true comfort
I too wish for the secret knowledge
I use three like a fucking king
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.
Holy shit, after years of trying to convince my wife to join Reddit it turns out you were here on Lemmy all along.
3 is a king, 7 is a fucking deity
When I stay in a hotel I take all four pillows and make use of them. I should steal the guest room pillows at home.
"If man is 5 and the devil is 6, then that must make me 7"
You gotta game the system man. One big good pillow and one lil bitch pillow. You will sleep like a king
I have a scaleable pillow that you can put more or less layers into. :D
I have a feather pillow that completely collapses under the weight of my head. I guess I just need the essence of a pillow.
That type is ideal for back sleepers!
Almost as if people arent identical copies of each other and have their own requirements :D
more or less layers
for me its usually less too tho
I read a story that once the US air force tried designing a pilot seat based on the average of the measurements of all their pilots and ended with something that was uncomfortable to all of them.
Also, memory foam pillows.
Never using anything else.
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.
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
This post is brought to you by big pillow.
2 pillow connoisseur here, it's not perfect but it's def better than being a 1 pillow andy.
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.
I have a big ass square pillow that I can fold over at my own leasure
Where do I uh... I mean what would you call uh... can I just...
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
I'm going to get one perfect porcelain pillow and live like an emperor
Buy a blowup doll and inflate it juuuuust right.
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
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.
wdym two is perfect
I have a single oversized pillow, it's the best.
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.
