    I don’t know what planet you’re living on, but I like 3 pillows.

    And then there’s me, using the same ancient, flat, worn out pillow since 2007. You can only have it by prying it from my cold dead body. I fuckin love that thing, I’ve tried many pillows since then but I always go back to my good old faithful.

      Is it yellow? I bet it’s yellow.

      No judgement, though. I get the comfort pillow. I had one of those before I gave the stupid expensive free pillow my dad got from the mattress store a solid try.

        Nah, it’s more of a grey-ish when it used to be white. Only better pillow I’ve ever used is one of those fancy ones with memory foam and cooling gel on the top that my ex had. That was an amazing pillow.

        I have a feather pillow, a regular thick pillow that you would find in most hotels, and a body pillow but I always go back to my ancient thin pillow for my head. Everything else gives me a sore neck and I can’t stomach paying 150+ CAD for a fancy pillow when my old faithful works just fine to this day.

        The rest of my pillows are hugging pillows, and that’s the best use I’ve found for thicker pillows.

    Best pillow Ive used was full of like uncooked rice or ball bearings or something. It wasnt very soft, but you could make it conform to the back of your head perfectly.

    Yeah… human body variation is a bitch to design for.

    Even if you have it adjustable, it’s very hard to accommodate everybody. Its usually for 5-95 percentile so even the designers know they are leaving out 10% or less of the population.

      There’s also bed firmness. A person with broad shoulders but a soft bed might need a smaller pillow than someone with smaller shoulders and a rock hard bed.

        This explains why most pillows are way too flat for me. Relatively broad shoulders and a firm bed. I have a pile of pillows that are just too low/flat.

      You’re right on both counts tho. It is about thickness but also how many pillows you need in the bed to reach your desired thickness.

        Sure, but two pillow thickness for me would mean 4 pillows in total on the bed.

    I dealt with this for years, then I developed GERD and had to get a wedge pillow to angle myself up. That wedge pillow with a medium firmness regular pillow is perfect.

      get those pillows that have a bunch of memory foam bits! i love our bamboo pillows since you can take out however much foam you want, and if you take too much out you can just add more fluff back in

      100% recommend, it easily solved my pillow issues

      Yes, 2 different pillows of different firmness. Firm thick pillow for bottom. Softer medium size pillow for top.

      Or two Goldilocks medium pillows depending on your preference.

      2 small pillows or two large pillows doesn’t work. Hotel pillows are usually excellent. So check the firmness when at a hotel to see what you like best. Often there are former or softer in the cupboard.

      I tried so many pillows and then I discovered the Coop pillow. It’s shredded memory foam and comes with a bag of extra filling so you can remove or add to your liking

      Throw pillows. Yes, i mean like the kind you toss on the sides of a sofa

    Magic solution for me? Throw pillows. Meaning like standard decorative pillows you toss onto the side of a sofa. They’re soooo much more comfy and ergonomic for me

    EDIT

    These are the general kind i mean
