That's why you don't buy all your pillows from the same supplier.

I figured it out. I bought a fancy $100 pillow that a certain hotel uses which is fucking bliss. Underneath that I have the flattest most useless "idea" of a pillow I've had for years. Combined it is the perfect amount of pillow. I can't recommend enough purchasing a high quality pillow though, it's a game changer for real.

I suffered for so long and then finally caved and bought a custom-fit pillow for side sleeping. Literally had to go to a physio to measure the space between my neck and the end of my shoulder. It was some of the best $200 I have ever spent, I cannot recommend it enough.

I'm not super sure but I think they just give you a different size that's better fitted for in between. Mine is just a tad bit too tall if I sleep on my back, but I had requested a side sleeper only.

The material is significantly better than other memory foam pillows of similar shape that I've had, but I suspect part of it is the gimmick too of like a medically approved custom sized pillow. I've had it for about a year now though and unlike other memory foam ones I've had, it's kept its shape very well and is still as comfortable as when I first got it.

The real play is to get a soft fluffy pillow that you can adjust by moving the fluff around. I can virtually flatten it if my neck is bugging me, or stuff a bunch in one side for side sleeping. Mine is a sealy and I don't think I'll use a different brand again.

They got 2 packs at Costco.

If you want to find the right pillow, go to a Sleep Number and try them out. It's the only place I know that you can actually try them out before you buy, and their return policy is like 3 months. They have thin, thick, curved, memory foam etc.
