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
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.
Use https://www.sleeplikethedead.com/ to look up what works best for you. I went with latex pillows ten years ago and they're still going strong, though starting to smell like latex recently. Probably time to replace them ...
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
Same. Hotel pillows are too thick for the head/neck. There should be 2 different pillows, a thick and firm one for hugging, and a thinner and softer one for the head.
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?
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.
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.
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.
