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.

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

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?)

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

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.

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.

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

Having one between the legs helps the back. In addition to what others have said.

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

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

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.

I usually sleep on my back but if I sleep on my side I always use a pillow. I have a pretty big head so if I’m lying flat with no pillow my neck is straight and not bending backwards

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.

I sometimes prefer not to have any pillow when I’m sleeping on my stomach.
