Cervical Pillow for Neck Pain Relief, Hollow Design Odorless Memory Foam Pillows with Cooling Case, Adjustable Orthopedic Bed Pillow for Sleeping, Support for Side Back Sleepers
Brand: MESALAY

this is the pillow. Depending on whether you want a side or back sleeper position you can turn it round to accommodate both. It's quite firm, And I wish it was a little less long from front to back, but it has helped a lot. Hope your shoulder improves, it is such a miserable condition 💐

ultraloft pillows from Mitre Linen online . Found them in an hotel years ago and have used them ever since .

I have wool filled pillows I bought from the Woolroom. You can adjust the filling to personal by adding or removing the filling.

Are you sure it's just the pillow to blame?
What is your mattress like?
The best pillow in the world won't cure a bad mattress.
Go to dreams, they let you try out the different pillow/mattress combinations there. I found a combo that cured my decade long back and neck pain and they were so helpful.

I have a tempur cloud pillow. Had it since 2020. Absolutely love it.

IKEA memory foam is the only thing I can sleep on, slightly smaller than a normal pillow but I just put a safety pin on the cover to stop it slipping

Your mattress in combination with your pillow holds the key to a perfect night’s sleep.

I am using the same pillow as before but since upgrading to a Tempur mattress, am sleeping so much better.

I have these too @JoanThursday. my friend gave me two when her mum went into a home. They were practically new as her mum, then her hadn't liked them so she just gave them to me!! I have a Tempur mattress already and love memory foam.
the combination of two pillows and the mattress has meant I never ever get neck, shoulder or back pain. I feel like I'm sleeping on a cloud!!!

I also have this neck pain which turns into a migraine. I found shredded memory foam to be the best pillow. It's more adaptable than the solid memory foam somehow - I find solid memory foam gives me a headache too.

I think they are called cluster pillows. Mine came from John Lewis, but you can get them in lots of places. It has really helped the neck pain and migraines.

I second the Shredded memory foam. I got mine from John Lewis after testing out many, many pillows in the shop.

I get migraines from neck pain after side sleeping and this has been very helpful.

Hate regular memory foam, feels like I'm being suffocated, but the shredded ones are really good.

@GrateWay I was coming onto the thread to tell everyone how completely fantastic my buckwheat pillow is. I can’t recommend it highly enough. I travelled in Japan last year and they are very common there. The buckwheat adjusts so you can get the pillow support just right. It’s fantastic. I had constant neck and shoulder issues and this pillow has stopped that completely!

Another vote for these. I have used them for decades.

Panda - absolutely the best pillows. Your body does not want a soft pillow. Keep in mind it’s a combination of mattress and pillow - matching a pillow you’ve used elsewhere won’t be the same if the mattress is different.

I used to wake up with pillows rammed into the headboard so completely flat at the front and absolutely no support - periodically got neck issues. Found Panda pillows at Costco 10 years ago and cannot sleep without it now. Solid and supportive, doesn’t change shape overnight.

I happened across silk filled pillows and took a punt, despite them being pricey.
I have an old whiplash injury and these have been a game changer.
Best pillow I have ever owned. I won't be going back to any other filling.

A pillow swap shop is needed

'Used for one night with a case on'

'Soft as down' types which are box/walled in shape ( i.e they have two rows of stitching around the sides of the pillow with a gap of 8 -10 cms between the rows of stitching) . I need 10cm, but that can be difficult to get as a lot are 8cm or less. Currently using one from M & S (not the memory foam one, but the one with the cluster fibres) but need to get a new one soon!

I use V shaped pillows after a long and expensive search.
I have a feather one underneath but the V one is memory foam and was quite expensive.
It’s great for sleeping on my side or back and supports both.

I had to get my DP one after I went away for a spa break with a friend and he used mine and said he had the best sleep ever.

My DP went to see his family in his birth country for two weeks and I had several different friends who stayed over and used his pillow and have all loved it and bought one themselves!

The only drawback is my pillowcases never properly match my bedding and are just the same colour but that’s a small price to pay for the comfort they provide.

I've had my neck pain since my late teens, menopause hasn't changed it.

My current pillow has that sheepy smell - I love it and am disappointed that it seems to be disappearing.🐑

This is me! I will find a pillow I think is perfect, then within a few weeks my neck pain returns. It's so annoying, especially as no-one else I know seems to have these issues. I'm using a wool one at present, but it isn't perfect. The best ones were latex, but even those had to be replaced a lot earlier than the 'years' they are supposed to last.

Wool pillows and duvet have been a game changer for me. Perfectly soft but supportive, never need plumping, snuggly and warm in winter but not too warm for summer. They do have a slightly sheepy smell, but I quit like it.

After my brother had to have 18 months off work with a serious neck problem, his consultant recommended a memory foam pillow. I often had woken with a crick in my neck so I decided to try one. I bought a normal pillow shaped one from Dunelm, and for the first two nights I thought I had made a mistake. It felt hard and uncomfortable. Then all of a sudden it felt great. Now 15 years later the pillow is still like new(it has a removable washable cover) and if I go away I always take it with me . I haven’t had any problems with my neck since I had used it.

Soak & Sleep Soft As Down microfibre all the way; one soft/medium, one medium/firm.

Big family with 6 adults including sons girlfriend that now lives with him in our annex, 2 teens and 1 pre teen. All manner of side front, back, menopausal sleepers (that would be me) and I swear over the years I’ve spent a small fortune hunting the right pillows.

I believe I may have found them, I’ve recommend them to friends and family and so far everyone has loved them too.

They have different types to suit, I think we have pretty much most at home and they last beautifully, I do use pillow protectors though!
