Speaking of pillows. I forget what brand I have, but I'm sure there are a bunch that make the same general thing. I was annoyed that I had to fight with every pillow I had to keep it from becoming a flat piece of cardboard. 8 years ago I bought pillows filled with shredded memory foam. They came with the stuffing separately so that I could fill my pillow up myself. It's the best pillow I've ever had, and it hasn't gone flat at all after many years.
So, shredded memory foam is the way to go.
I have a solid memory foam pillow and it fucking sucks. It's like right in the middle of not being firm enough and not being soft enough. Maybe I'll try to find one like yours.
My solution to this is to stack a soft pillow on top of a firm pillow.
Doesn't that make your neck sore? I've used thin pillows all my life, whenever I use a pillow when travelling (hotel, someone else's house etc) it's ALWAYS to thick. I can't imagine stacking two pillows on top of each other.
Ah but if both pillows are old enough to vote it's like just having one!
Yeah, I've had a normal memory foam pillow, that's how I felt about it too. It was designed for people who sleep still on their back like a corpse.
The sredded kind seems to be soft enough where I can mash it into a shape I want, but it doesn't go flat over time. Or stab you with feathers.
That's the thing though. I do sleep on my back ..
I have one of these as well and also got it years ago! Yeah it's the best I think, but needs a few days to stop outgassing lol.
I purchased this one: Xtreme Comforts Pillows for Sleeping
It's like $30 or something.
I’ve tried a couple and they give me the worst migraines. I just can’t do them. :(
The shredded kind, or the kind where it's just a block of memory foam? Because the block kind is terrible.
Shredded kind. I was pretty disappointed since they weren’t exactly cheap. Worked really well for my ex wife though.
Interesting. Well, I hope you find what works for you. Good sleep is hard to come by.
