Why can't I find a great pillow? I have spent $15 - $50 and have yet to fall asleep loving my pillow! I am a side sleeper and I stay away from feather.

I saw the Eddie Bauer ones at Costco the other day and was tempted.

Anyone have a great pillow they recommend? I really don't want to steal them from nice hotels.

Mr unfound got his through here and is happy happy. Pricey, but it was worth it for him to get a good nights sleep.

I have a high density foam pillow made by a company called Z by Malouf. Their website looks shady as shit, but I love the pillows I have from them. Love.

The only trouble I have had is that they don't have a medium loft pillow, so my chiropractor and I brainstormed and I got some craft foam cut to pillow size and layered 1/2 inch thick sheets under my low loft pillow until it was the right height. I have back problems though.

They're also way cheaper on amazon than their own website (shop through Phil!)

A few yrs back I was in PT for my neck and shoulder. I'm also a side sleeper and my PT recommended a cervical pillow, but then she told me that its not just the pillow, but how you use it. She then gave me an entire session dedicated to how and why I should adjust my sleeping position.

I have the same pillow issues. I buy a new one every year or so, hoping to find the right one. I am also a side sleeper - so if you find the right one, please let me know!

I bought the cervical pillow from Tempurpedic--about $120 I think. I have neck issues so I need it, but I love it so much I have taken it on vacation with me.

Edited to add: Uh oh, there's that attachment to material things again! Jeezsh.

I'm a side sleeper too. I bought the Side Sleeper Pro pillow (amazon has it). It's in the shape of a candy cane and looks odd, but for me, it made a huge difference in comfort. I tried many pillows trying to find the right one...spent a lot of money too. The side sleeper was only $20.00.

No one changes unless they want to. Not if you beg them. Not if you shame them. Not if you use reason, emotion, or tough love. There is only one thing that makes someone change: their own realization that they need to.

I have yet to unpack it but I have a side sleep pillow I used while pregnant.

I got us two soft feather pillows some time ago. I found it was to soft for me so I end up folding it up or squishing it into a ball. Sometimes I hug it, other times I wake up to no pillow cause Its ended up on the floor in the middle of the night

I am a restless sleeper.

Going to go unpack my side pillow now

I am a side sleeper too and the only pillow I can sleep with is a feather pillow but it can't be soft or spongy. I have to have a hard feather pillow and cannot find one anywhere. I cannot sleep on those contour pillows either I tried and ended giving it away.
