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.

[–] freebee@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 months ago

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?)

[–] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

I think you know what the hole is for...

( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

[–] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 27 points 4 months ago

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

[–] dingus@lemmy.world 21 points 4 months ago (5 children)

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.

[–] suchwin@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago

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.

[–] protist@mander.xyz 10 points 4 months ago

I sleep on my side and a thin pillow would make my head bend down. I need a thick pillow for my neck to be straight. Shredded memory foam gang whazzup

Side sleep, I want neutral neck angle

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

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago

Yeah you're definitely a psychopath. My neck would be absolutely killing me without a pillow.

[–] saigot@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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.

But you must rest your head somehow if you lie on your side? Or are your shoulders 1cm broad?

I think I sleep more often with a pillow on top of my head or hip than actually using the pillow as intended. If you need head/neck support, the comforter is better suited for the job as you can fold it to the right shape.

Me with three pillows just for my neck anyway:

[–] Nokinori@pawb.social 10 points 4 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago (4 children)

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

[–] Nokinori@pawb.social 8 points 4 months ago

I had to save up for it, but I’ve always slept poorly and wanted to go all in on the new bedding. Maybe I’m crazy, but I think it was worth the money.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

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.

That comforter looks even better than the pillow.

[–] Nokinori@pawb.social 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Can’t speak to the Birch comforter’s quality, but recently I got my first set of really nice sheets too. If you’re patient, you can find some Frette sheets for surprisingly cheap on one of their sales.

rare body pillow W

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Casper's standard pillow works like this. You can also use them separately to have a light and medium pillow.

Just note from my experience, that using the full firmness (pillow in a pillow) can give you a really stiff neck in the morning/day.

[–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

I have two pillows stuffed in one pillowcase. Double pillow. 2-in1 comfort and self defense.

[–] Drusas@kbin.run 3 points 4 months ago

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.

[–] fushuan@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

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)

[–] Wilzax@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Drusas@kbin.run 2 points 4 months ago

And one pillow for your back. Extra cozy and you're ready to roll over.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

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

The Hilton of pillows

one ikea shark pillow works well for me

[–] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I wish you play baby shark as white noise to sleep

[–] kate@lemmy.uhhoh.com 4 points 4 months ago

it’s for the sharks more than me rly

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

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

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago

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.

[–] Verat@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] Drusas@kbin.run 2 points 4 months ago

They're especially wonderful for back sleeping.

[–] IkarusHagen2@feddit.de 2 points 4 months ago

I have 2 pillows, one big and one small

[–] Lennnny@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Years ago my husband bought a random pillow from Amazon. I liked it so much I also bought one, but I guess it was a different manufacturer and I hated it. He's not fussy so we swapped, and I swear to god this is the best pillow I've ever used. It was like $23 and the link is broken now.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] cogitase@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

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.

[–] wander1236@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

I found some cheapo "side sleeper" memory foam pillow on Amazon and put a normal (but also old and compacted) pillow on top and that works surprisingly well for me.
