Despite the name it's not crazy thick, just supportive with a gusset around so it doesn't smush as quickly. I just bought a new one the other day which is why I remember the name. I can't do down pillows and haven't liked any foam ones so this is a good option for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pillow-for-side-sleeperz#post-2094969 Sat, 25 Jan 2020 12:38:36 +0000 Style Fan 2094969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have heard great things about Buckweat pillows.&nbsp; I am curious about dry needling.&nbsp; I am going to look into it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pillow-for-side-sleeperz#post-2094599 Thu, 23 Jan 2020 16:33:48 +0000 Anonymous 2094599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use a little couch type pillow. It's firm and fat! Regular squishy pillows put my head too low. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pillow-for-side-sleeperz#post-2094510 Thu, 23 Jan 2020 02:07:24 +0000 elpgal 2094510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all ideas! I am glad I asked. </p> <p>Rachy, my kid has one of those multilayer latex mattresses that let you customize the firmness. Seems to work well for him. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pillow-for-side-sleeperz#post-2094498 Thu, 23 Jan 2020 00:27:27 +0000 L'Abeille 2094498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I swear by my pillow filled with buckwheat husks, bought a second one for nights on call at the hospital, and recommend it to many of my patients, with much positive feedback. Now our local dentist's office carries them for sale, so he must have seen benefits too. (Depending where you live, you might also try your local farmers' market!)</p> <p>They are VERY firm, but can be molded to the exact shape you want, and hold that shape all night long. They are great for migraines too IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pillow-for-side-sleeperz#post-2094454 Wed, 22 Jan 2020 16:57:48 +0000 Flytigress 2094454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My husband and I both love our COOP Home Goods pillows! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pillow-for-side-sleeperz#post-2094387 Wed, 22 Jan 2020 09:47:29 +0000 rachylou 2094387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried a latex mattress of any sort? I have to admit the Dux has been worth it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pillow-for-side-sleeperz#post-2094342 Tue, 21 Jan 2020 23:29:02 +0000 slim cat 2094342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on my second Tempur-Pedic medium Profile Neck pillow - It's memory foam with supportive shape. Bad,Bath and Beyond, Amazon and other places sell it. I try to sleep on my back ( doctor' recommendations ) but often wake up on my side. It took a bit of time getting used to it but it did work wonders for my neck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pillow-for-side-sleeperz#post-2094338 Tue, 21 Jan 2020 22:28:13 +0000 Kate 2094338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I sympathize! I had the same issue recently for about 5 months. With the help of a wonderful PT here’s what worked for me. She had me roll up a towel lengthwise and wrap it around my neck before I went to bed. Use whatever pillow you already have. It’s all about the towel! You can adjust it as you need to to provide support. That helped me get a decent night’s sleep, which I hadn’t had in months. Meanwhile, my orthopedic surgeon had suggested I try dry needling. Fortunately my new PT is experienced in that modality. I am now 80% improved and no longer have pain &amp; stiffness 24/7.</p> <p>Dry needling uses the same thin needles that accupuncturists use. The difference is the needles are inserted into the muscle and manipulated. It’s not bad at all, though not painless. However, I was extremely motivated to find relief from constant pain, so for me well worth it. Now we are using dry needling for my chronic migraines. I’m always happy to try any non-drug therapy. Good luck!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pillow-for-side-sleeperz#post-2094321 Tue, 21 Jan 2020 21:46:39 +0000 Angie 2094321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try NEST. Best pillows on the planet.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pillow-for-side-sleeperz#post-2094311 Tue, 21 Jan 2020 21:15:39 +0000 elpgal 2094311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy, that’s impressive. I am fickle with mattress preferences so I have resisted spending money on the $3K latex ones but maybe I should go for it. These too come with a 20 year warranty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pillow-for-side-sleeperz#post-2094299 Tue, 21 Jan 2020 20:29:57 +0000 rachylou 2094299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eh... I got a whole bed from Duxiana, which is lovely, but you could buy a car for the money... an old car, but it would run. On the other hand, it’s been 25 years. One and done. They make pillows tho... they however don’t appear to sell online... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pillow-for-side-sleeperz#post-2094294 Tue, 21 Jan 2020 20:16:05 +0000 elpgal 2094294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLFers, I need some direction to pick a new pillow. I have terrible neck and shoulder stiffness and my PT asked me to experiment with various pillows.</p> <p>So far, I have tried pillows of various thicknesses, a memory foam one, a shredded latex filled one and another one with an indent where your head rests. I am at a loss for what to try next. Do you have one that you recommend? </p>
