As a combination back- and side-sleeper, I've been considering trying to strap foam blocks to the side of my head so I can always get the right amount of support regardless of position.

    Exactly what I'm looking for! I'ld like back sleeping but with a slightly tilted, side supported head. Lean head all the way = neck pain. Head straight = can't fall asleep. I've tried stuff with backsleeping+ side support for leaning the head, but the extra pillow on the head side isn't strong enough (doesn't last) and it all gets too hot around the head.

    You wouldn’t

    a pillow


    purafly

    The extraordinary pillow

    The innovative butterfly shape of the purafly, with a dip and hole, provides excellent support for the head and neck.
    Additionally, the pillow is wedge-shaped and has two different heights. Side and especially back sleepers find the rest they need.

    What’s that hole for 😏 (nose?)

    This fails to mention how he made it so that the side you're laying on is never the cool side.

    I don't get how people use so many pillows. I like a single, somewhat flat pillow. Anything too fluffy or more than one pillow is just way too tall and would make my neck bend. Do you multi-pillow people sleep partially sitting up or something? I sleep on my side or stomach.

    You sleep on your side and stomach and use the same amount of pillow for both?? Stomach definitely needs the least amount of cushion, except for people who use no pillow I guess. And side sleeping has an entire shoulder's width of support to make up for. Totally different positions, you need an arsenal of pillows to really dial in the ergonomics.

    Reading the comments is making me feel like a psychopath. I guess I'm the only one who occasionally uses no pillows because one can be too much for me

    Are you a back sleeper or someone who sleeps on their arm? If I get in my side sleeping position without a pillow my ear isn't even touching the ground.

    This pillow right here. You can smush it into different shapes and it mostly stays. I’ve made a little crater in the middle for my back sleeping, then I can roll onto the taller ends when I sleep on my side.

    Birch, I ain't paying over $100 for a freaking pillow. There's gotta be a more affordable way.

    100 seems like a lot for just a pillow. However, you use it every night and it helps you waking up without back or neck pain. So, investing 100 dollars into something you use 1/3 of every day seems like it's basically nothing. My pillow costed almost 200 euros, my matrass was 1800. I've had it for 10 years, so it costed me 2000/3650= ~0.548 per night, 7 to 8 hours per day. Almost 55 cents for proper back and neck support, so I don't wake up stiff and sour. The longer I use it, the cheaper it becomes, but I think in a year or two I'll buy a new set so I'll be sleeping like a princess for another 10 to 12 years.

    Plot twist: learning to sleep without a pillow is even better for your back and neck. So, there's your cheap option.

    Oh no I was afraid you would suggest that. I have that pillow and it's awful. It has the exact issue that this meme is about.

    My pillow came with 3 mini pillows that you insert on the middle of the pillow to regulate the height.

    Replace "inventor" with "Hilton" and you have a home run

    1 pillow for your head, 1 pillow for your chest. Perfect sleep.

    I make a nice gentle curved slope with three pillows. Layering them offset to each other, with the back one being both the thickest and close to being vertical and the front one, also the thinnest being closer to horizontal.

    My head probably isn't even over the first pillow, but it allows the getting two to be at a more comfy angle.

    Buckwheat pillow, holds it's shape well and you can flatten it out or bring it back together to adjust the thickness, big downside though you kind of have to mold your head into it when you go to bed, really just boils down to adjusting the thickness, laying on it, and rocking your head back and forth on it a couple times to shape it. They dont fold well but I feel they don't need to.

    Idk man, I just have a good pillow that's big AF so that when I'm sideways it fits well and when I look up it compresses.

    If you need more space maybe buy a bigger or a sturdier one (so you compress it less)

  • I just wonder how they make one side colder than the other.

    Everyone should get a high quality miniature/toddler pillow. There is always a small spot in the head or neck area which can be improved with a little bit of squishy pillow and these are perfect for that. They're also perfect for putting on top of another pillow which isn't quite tall enough but almost.

    You should also get good pillows, but the tiny pillow is still nice to have.

    I got one of those Purple Pillows. Felt like an ass spending $100 on a pillow, but I was flush and my neck hurt.

    It's great on the bottom and seems like it'll last the rest of my life. Doesn't crush or absorb smells, water hose will clean it off.

    OTOH, it's too low for a single pillow, but I still dig it.

    I’m fascinated as to why “not absorbing smells” and the ability to be hosed down were major selling points to you.

    LOL, ya got me.

    Seriously, washing pillows often jacks them up into scrunched up balls. Also, ever smelled a pillow after it gets old? Not much you can do to renew it. A rubber pillow isn't going to have issues like cloth. Just change the pillow case regularly.

    That's why I like memory foam pillows.
