Pillow suggestions please

I know I need a new pillow. Typically a side sleeper, but I've arthritis in my hips so should sleep on my back.

What's good? What's recommended these days?

Currently I'm sleeping on two thin/flattened bog standard foam pillows. I have an expensive down feather pillow which I use when reading in bed but abandon for sleeping as I find it too fat now.

Are those shaped pillows good?

I have a Mlily memory foam pillow and I love it. It's very supportive and has helped hugely with chronic neck/shoulder problems. I normally lie on my side but find it comfortable if I lie on my back too, unless my neck happens to be sore.

I've tried shaped pillows but they're not for me

I have changed 3 out of 4 beds to Panda pillows 🐼 and bought mine via Costco. They are consistent and just right height. The only dissenter is Dd1 who is not a fan so she has IKEA ones.

John Lewis hypoallergenic, soft medium or firm, (i have medium), machine washable.
I have tried many types of pillow from latex to feather to foam. These are my current favourite and only £20.

We had the panda ones but I found them too firm. I now have the simba one where you can add or take away cubes to get to the right height. DH has bought one after I had mine for years, but I will warn his filling is a different material to mine and I’m not sure I like it as much, but he loves it.

I have hypoallergenic ones from B&Q of all places - they’re super comfortable.

I have Simba pillows. You can add or take out the foam cubes to make them as firm or soft as you wish. They come with little drawstring bags full of the cubes. They’re very supportive.

I always come on to recommend these pillows from the Wool Room. They are hands down one of my best buys, ever. I've had them several years, the outer cover washes, and you can add and take way filling to suit your height preference. They're expensive but are currently 30% off.

@LeopardSlippers I wanted to come back and thank you for this suggestion as this is what I bought. We bought two. I took some stuffing out of dhs pillow as he likes a flat pillow and I like a firm pillow. It's been so comfortable and I like how natural it is and how we can wash the cover. So, thank you.
