Memory foam pillows

I have a lovely memory foam pillow that I got ages ago from Carpet Right. I have tried quite a few but none are as comfortable.
I’m a side sleeper and have tried Tempur but had to return it as it gave me a really bad neck and headache.
Can anyone recommend a nice comfy, fairly firm but not brick like, non headache/neck ache causing pillow?

It is so comfortable and holds the head and neck beautifully. I even felt a bit better after one night.

I have a Mille memory foam pillow. Like you I'm a side sleeper, and after months of increasing neck pain due to an ancient sagging pillow, the first night I slept on this was perfect.
It held my head and neck 'just so' , so no uncomfortable feelings of sleeping 'standing on my head' in the morning.

Toffeebutter I just tried the link you put on and it's just taking me to Google, can you check it's correct please?

Not memory foam but I'm a side sleeper and absolutely love these and this company. I use this on top of a memory foam and my DH uses the medium/firm on it's own, it's dense but soft

I have this one from John Lewis. I spent a lot of time choosing (pre Covid) trying different pillows and looking at the heights/thickness (dimensions are listed in product description). I use the lower end but occasionally my neck feels like a change and I swap it around for an hour or two.
If I ever go away for the night I always take my pillow. There's nothing worse than the wrong pillow and ending up with neck ache that then becomes a humdinger headache.

Thank you everyone. Who knew pillow buying could be so confusing 😃.
I’m going to look into all of the ones mentioned.

I have a cheapo one off eBay the same shape Fanny posted, the thicker end goes under my neck, I sleep on my side and tummy, haven’t had a sore neck once since I got it 2yrs ago!

My current pillow is the Dunelm Mill Super Comfort Quilted Foam Firm-Support Pillow. I prefer it to the Tempur Cloud pillow (too big for my neck) which I sold to a relative.
