I'm all ears for recommendations. I've wasted money on pillows that were great for one night and then started causing problems. =(
Personally I love the memory foam, harder pillow from IKEA I got for £15. It's so comfortable that other pillows feel like shit compared to it. It's not for everyone though
Lol that's what I use! They're great!
Love that you have a meme for this exact thing
No way me too! I always had OPs problem until I bought it. I resent going away without it because it's that good.

Use https://www.sleeplikethedead.com/ to look up what works best for you. I went with latex pillows ten years ago and they're still going strong, though starting to smell like latex recently. Probably time to replace them ...
I went and tried the Purple Harmony pillow when there was a similar thread on Reddit ~1 year ago. It was fantastic! I wanted it sooo bad, but it was just too expensive. I did find out later that Purple runs sales a few times a year. Think the best was around Christmas and it was damn near 50% off. So, I've had it since Christmas and been very happy.
I've got a purple harmony pillow (medium size) and it's okay. I feel like it's too high for back sleeping and not high enough for side sleeping. And due to the nature of it it's nearly impossible to try to mold to the shape I need. I'm thinking of getting a Coop tbh
I got some memory foam pillows from IKEA for like 50e piece for me and wife couple years ago. Still going good, wouldn't want anything else

Right? My one pillow is just on the verge of almost too much, but I like few pillows and my neck is fucked up.
The thinner the pillow, the better. Fuck hotels
So... Do you just use the pillow case? 🤔 That would be quite thin.
I have the purple pillow. It's great! Both sides are "the cold side" and, if needed, you could kill a man with it!
My wife has one of these. I don't like the weird texture it has and often refer to it as her "space waffle" pillow, which gets a laugh out of her.
I got used to the texture pretty quick, and it's well worth it. I even got a purple mattress, which is just as great
I'm definitely not paid by Purple, haha
Honestly, I've been having trouble with this lately so even if you were I'm desperate for solutions.
They didn't tell me as a kid that side sleeping would be a problem.
I sleep every-which-way. Some days stock still on my back like the dead, other days on my front sprawled out, and other days on my side. I've got pretty broad shoulders and the purple pillow (the flat one, not the poofy one) and medium-firm mattress combo does wonders for me. On my side I sink just enough into the mattress to lay my head flat, and on my back/front works just the same. Not sure how well it would work for you, and Purple is a bit pricey, but I highly recommend them. Just make sure you try them out at one of their locations, first. The grid is easy to get used to (I got used to it in a few days, and now I never notice it), so try to ignore the texture, just go by overall feel
Wool filled pillow that you can add/remove filling from.

I'll shill for the above company, have had the wooly down for 9+ years, added more to it once a couple years ago.
Life pro tip for side sleepers who need a super thick / fluffy pillow:
Buy a king sized pillow and put it in a normal sized pillow case that has one of those little flaps at the open end. The extra stuffing compressed to a normal sized pillow makes for the best thick pillow.
I have a tempur "soft" pillow and it's too high.
I used to have a beaten up old fuck feather pillow and you could mould it into any shape you needed, it was great! I miss my shitty old pillow, my futuristic pillow isn't the answer.
What’s a fuck feather

I feel this. I just moved and a certain family member 'helped' me move by throwing away stuff that I'd already dropped off at my new place that didn't meet their arbitrary standards including, yes, almost all the bedding. So now I'm sleeping through the hottest part of the year with the most unforgivingly thick pillows and the winter duvet.

Me in every hotel
I'm a side sleeper but the human body keeps interfering (this arm is in the way). If I sleep on my back I snore and my wife wacks me.
Tempted to buy a message table and sleep on it. Sleeping face down seems like the real solution here.

Two is just right for sleeping on the side if the bottom pillow is super firm and the top pillow is super not firm.
Where my no pillow gang at? You have an arm! Use it
Wait are you being for real? That can't be good for your neck. I've fallen asleep like that 1 time when i got way too high on the zaza and i had the worst neck pain ever.
My pillow is so thin my wife is like "well just put a towel in the pillowcase"

And here I am with a half stuffed pillow because a full pillow makes me choke on my sleep
Seems more like a meme than a shit post
I got a buckwheat pillow and I'm never going back. It's perfect.
I had a buckwheat pillow but the zipper broke six months in.
It's not fun cleaning up all the little shells at three in the morning.
Yeah that would be horrible
You need to find the right pillow. This is important for good quality sleep. For instance I know that i need a thin pillow if I am on a soft bed but a thicker pillow if I am on a firm bed.
I use small pillows, sort of like the end pillow on a sofa, about the size of a shoebox maybe. It's all the support I really need and it's small enough to be able to shift it around easily into whatever shape or position you need. Give that a shot.
I use a Costco memory foam on top of a really thin shitty feather pillow I've had forever. The memory foam is like a cm or two too short for my neck to be comfortable so the feather pillow is used to lift it up that extra bit.
I have whiplash and two pillows is just right. I'm blessed.
I can recommend water pillows.
But one folded over is just right.
