May I add a 2nd part to this question? How many pillows are you all using? To sleep with.

I have tried so many different pillows...from Tony Little, Joy (hot and cool), My Pillow, Serta, and even the Copper Infused pillows and find that I need a combination of all of the above.

The My pillow was just too soft and I have the firm one. The Tony Little pillow lost its shape over time and the Joy pillow was too firm but I did like the cool and hot combination. My latest copper infused pillow is okay but I still needed 2 of of them to be really comfortable...Thank goodness the Aleve PM helped you to get to sleep!

Yes, I feel the same way. I had some PT last year for neck pain. Nothing wrong with the discs. They gave me neck exersizes to do everyday. I have heat pack and a shower massage and when I have to, I take extra strength Tylenol. Advil would indeed work better but it raises my blood pressure. My therapist buying a $$$ pillow was not likely to help with my neck pain, he suggested that I sleep on two pillows.

Years ago, I saw a bin with microbead pillows in all different shapes and colors. I decided to buy a star-shaped one that was filled with microbeads, but not overstuffed. I could not believe how much that pillow helped me to relax my neck muscles. I took it everywhere: vacation, overnight visits, even to the hospital.

The best ones are not filled to the max. If they are, they have to be broken in. The log-shaped pillows are horribly uncomfortable---to me.

Maybe you can try one to see if it helps. They are called Microbead pillows or Squishy or IScream (geared to kids and scented). Don't forget:

Overfilled pillows won't be comfortable right away. Give it time. The cactus one is really cute! The flower below didn't work for me.

I purchased a couple of inexpensive pillows from our local Meijer’s about 2 years ago. Should have bought 4 more at the time as, of course, they are no longer sold and I can’t find them anywhere on line. I use a bed pillow about 2 years and then it seems to get too flat for me. Just bought a bed pillow for $6 at my local Dollar Store and it’s working well for me so far.

Does anyone make an adjustable pillow sort of like a mini Sleep Number bed?? That way you could adjust the firmness of it. Maybe I could invent one, if someone hasn't already, and make millions!...LOL!

I also have difficulty finding the right pillow that is comfortable. The vast majority of pillows are too high for me, causing a "crick" in my neck.

Most pillows I've tried were either too high or too low for my neck to be in a comfortable position. Also tried the "my pillow" and didn't like it at all.

I just recently purchased a "Bed Gear" brand pillow and it is working so far.

Target used to carry a "2-in-1 pillow" that had a "rim" around the edge for neck support. The company doesn't make them anymore and the new style doesn't work for me.

But pillows definately do impact the quality of your sleep.

the joy mangano pillow is my absolute favorite. i am now sorry that i did not buy more to keep in a stash. i can no longer find them. i am hoping that hsn might bring them back, but who knows?

hated the my pillow and it was much to soft and squishy. not a fan of the creator either.

i have been wanting to try the egg sleeper that i have seen on the infomercial. i want to compare it to the joy pillow.

I just bought myself a new pillow today, it’s a memory foam one and I’ve been wanting one for a long time. My mom has one and every time I visit her and sleep over I sleep really well. I’ve been using a My Pillow for over a year and while I liked it in the beginning I feel it’s lost it’s performance and I have to flip it 2-3 times every night. I cannot wait to go to sleep tonight and try this pillow out. It weighs a ton and I think it will keep me from my relentless tossing and turning, based on how I slept at my moms house.
