Pillows

I am a side sleeper and need the gap between my shoulder and my ear filled, otherwise I can’t get to sleep and get a stiff neck. I always used a dunlopillo and another currently a memory foam. The dunlopillo is getting old and sad but they are now £70! I have tried others but cannot get the right combination. I have seen these 'my pillow' advertised, does anybody know if they are any good?

I'm a side sleeper too and I used to wake up aching.

One night , I had heartburn so I got a scatter cushion to raise my neck and head and I found it so much comfier. Now the scatter cushion has molded itself to the shape of my neck/ head

I'm a side sleeper too and tend to get my pillows at Home Sense, usually Snuggledown and they say side sleeper on them. They have gone up a bit but think my last one was about £25.
Also If it makes any difference My Pillow are owned by a fervent Trump supporter and donator just FYI.

I've got one of these under my ordinary pillow - I'm a terrible night fidgeter, but this has been good for when I do eventually sleep.

We have these.
expensive? Yes. But they are great. They are very deep so you only need 1 pillow - and it’s so supportive and comfy. Really supports and hugs your head and neck and will absolutely fill the space between your shoulder & ear.

oh my goodness . I feel so much better that I'm not the only one who considers the topic of pillows to be very important! 😁

I got some really good pillows from Panda, we bought the whole bed set. It was expensive but so worth it because my sleep has been so much better and more comfortable since. I am obsessed with pillows 😂

I am a side sleeper too. I am grumpy that it took me until the age of 39 to find the perfect pillow.

You can add/remove filling to suit you. I have swapped our whole family to them and we all love them.

I'll only buy pillows from shops that sell beds too. I need to lie down and try the pillow. Have got some strange looks but duck em, it's important. I travel with my own pillow too.

Following this thread as I desperately need new pillows again. I sleep all ways really but mostly on my side/back.

Currently we have silent night ones, but I haven’t been impressed with how they’ve lasted, it felt like they lost their ‘bounce’ really quickly compared to other times I’ve had them.

In fairness, my pillows tend to take a beating. I usually come up to bed fairly early in the evening to watch tv so I’m leaning on them whilst sat in bed and stuff which doesn’t help matters. I’m tempted to keep these pillows for when I’m sitting in bed and saving new pillows just for sleeping on.

Been thinking about getting an Emma Pillow as we have the mattress and love it. Expensive for a pillow though.

This is my kind of shopping. My dad once went out to buy a toaster equipped with a home made toast sized cardboard cutout. It's the dedicaction to perfection that's inspiring.

I am a front/side sleeper but I've started getting very painful shoulders from lying on them every night. Does anyone have a recommendation for a pillow to train yourself to sleep on your back? Is this even possible?!
 
I've got Dorma pillows from Dunelm and they work for me (side sleeper). I do have tension in my neck/shoulders so I wonder if they're not all that supportive? They're very full and comfy though!

I just wanna say a) I’m one of these people who have about 5 different types of pillow because I’m fussy as hell and b) the Eve hybrid one (not the memory foam) was great for whole of 5 weeks and then went flat in the middle. Had replacements and did the same, so avoid!

I really wish pillows came with a try before you buy. We got the Eve one for that reason but typically after the time elapsed it as a crock of tit

I have found my people. I have a compulsion when it comes to pillows i buy new every month. They need to be soft, bouncy and big. Almost like the ones you see in films where they sink into them in hotels. Unfortunately I've yet to come across any that hold their "bounce" so it's meant buying a pack of 2 silent night ones for £10 from tesco every month.

I always have feather/down pillows. I'm a side sleeper and I like my pillow to replicate my head position if I'm standing up so no massive pillows wrenching my neck to the side for me.
 
I am a side sleeper and have to sleep with two pillows and this is a ongoing struggle to find the right pillow - I think I've tried them all 😩

I've recently been trying a pillow from Amazon which has actually been pretty good - pillowly its called - I have that and a thinner one on the bottom but I do find its not as good after a few months - as it's under £25 I've just replaced it though.
