    Is there a solution to this? It’s been bothering me more recently since my wife bought me a nice pillow

    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.

        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.

    I use a thick pillow to hug and a folded blanket for my head. The blanket’s thickness can be customized to fit. The real problem is in hotels were both pillows are usually huge, so it’s literally a pain in the neck.

    Ohhhh, they mean like, thickness. My dumbass was thinking total pillows for the bed.

    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.

    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.
