I’m having the same issue and don’t have a solution. I got breathe right strips and they seemed to help for a bit but not anymore. I’m a side sleeper and I can’t ever get comfortable if my head is elevated more than one pillow. I wake up with neck pain and headache.

I did read a tip that said to elevate your entire bed frame just at the top so that the entire mattress is slanted down. I haven’t tried that yet.

I’ve just stacked 2 regular pillows on top of each other and I think that helps, or my husband has just stopped bringing it up. I also use extra strength breathe right strips.

I guess you can’t really use a wedge if you are a stomach sleeper?

Thanks for the recommendation! Worked for me too but my scoliosis got in the way and had to abandon it.

I appreciate the post and I believe you're thinking of native Texan, Leatherface who massacres people with a chainsaw. Jason Voorhees' weapon of choice was an axe.

Please provide link.

Can you provide brand and any other details on your pillow? Congratulations on your success!

Strongly suggest you go for the Yippo Labs orthopedic cervical pillow. It's made for all sleeping types and i've honestly never slept better since getting it. I even got my wife one too and she absolutely loves it. I sleep on my side too, and pretty much stopped with this pillow. You probably won't be able to go back to old pillows once you use this bad boy.

The Purple Harmony pillow is my current favorite. It holds its shape well and isn't a block of memory foam so it won't trap heat as much. Recommend the low or medium loft if you're a stomach sleeper.

After being a devotee to down pillows for decades, I switched to a Tempur-pedic memory foam. It was very difficult for me to get used to, but now I would have a hard time going back.

I like Coop Home Goods Cooling Eden pillows They come with extra filling so you can adjust for comfort and they’ll even send you more filling for free if you call and ask. They’re pricey but have lasted me for years.

I have been using this one from Amazon for about 6mo and like it. I sleep on my left side at least 80% of the night but it’s one of the most comfortable I’ve found for back laying. Sometimes I question whether it’s like 1-2mm too tall, but haven’t found anything better.

I was never able to sleep on my back because I couldn’t breathe through my nose well enough in that position. I got my deviated septum fixed a few years ago and was so excited when I could breathe on my back once the 10+ inches of surgery gauze came out of each nostril a week later. First night I started dozing, my tongue immediately fell back and choked me. I learned that it happens every time I fall asleep, so I still don’t sleep on my back after all that. Nothin left to do but laugh.

pregnancy pillows are great for this! I bought a few when I was training myself to sleep on my back and they worked like a charm.

I went to the old school feather pillows in a hypoallergenic pillow case. 

It’s kinda like memory foam in that I can mold it into whatever shape I need at the moment. 

It’s not a perfect solution but it works. 

Look for a high-loft, firm, and supportive pillow designed for side sleepers, such as the Coop Home Goods Eden, Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Cloud Adjustable Pillow, or Sleep Artisan Side Sleeper Pillow. These provide proper neck and spinal alignment while preventing shoulder compression. Given your build, a contoured memory foam or adjustable fill pillow (like shredded latex or memory foam) can help fine-tune support. Also, consider a body pillow (e.g., Snuggle-Pedic or MedCline) to reduce shoulder pressure and improve spinal alignment while side sleeping.

I’m going to try a u shaped body pillow to prevent me sleeping on back which is when I snore

Just get a wedge. I got this wedge pillow on Amazon, sleep with a pillow or 2 and my snoring has reduced by 95%. Pillows that prevent snoring is a lie, you should be slightly elevated to reduce and stop snoring.

As much as I hate it, a My Pillow almost completely cured my snoring and added 30 minutes to my sleep at night. (I wear a health/sleep tracker) I started using it and bought 3 more for future all before the whole Trump thing. I use a new one every 2 years. You can actually clean them. I am going to have a moral dilemma once I run out of them.

I felt so boujie buying this, but the ikea memory foam pillows changed my sleep a lot. Have neck and back pain from poor form carrying weight/rifle when I was in the military, and a lot of forward hunching/neck cranking sports like road cycling, muay thai and BJJ. This thing doesn't solve the problem completely but definitely helps with a healthier and more stable head/neck position while I sleep :)

Go to Target. Best pillows for cheap. I don't buy into down pillows, too fluffy for my taste.

My catgirl bodypillow, it is perfect !

I may get a wedge, but just using 3 pillows to prop myself up dropped my Snorelab score from mid 30s to about 5.

I recently tried the wedge along with a pillow going lengthwise from top to bottom and I have to say it has worked surprisingly well. I’ve used it in conjunction with a saline spray with a eucalyptus additive the two things combined I have caused my snore lab score to go from the 20s to low 30s down to as low as a four or a five and now I average somewhere around a 10 or a 12 it’s been great. Last part I’ll add is that a incorporated a mouthpiece that I used at the beginning of my snore lab journey into the mix and I sleep on my side.

A wedge pillow basically stopped my snoring. I put a memory foam contoured pilow on top of it. The wedge pillow is 7” high, and I got it on Amazon for around $35. It’s definitely worth a try.

I had the worst snoring ever for nearly 20 years. I dropped 25 lbs and now I don’t snore.

Are you a mouth snorer or nose snorer or both? My husband is both. My suggestion before you start spending money on much is to see your doc and ask for a sleep study. They can give you a take home test you can use that will monitor if you apnea and then you can proceed from there. If you have it most of these over the counter things won’t work and if they do it will only be temporary. We tried five or six of the wedge pillows, none of them worked. And as a frustrated partner that went through two years of hearing this snoring and trying everything it’s Best if you can try the most aggressive approaches first, before your partner goes insane and moves into the spare bedroom. If you are a mouth snorer the best things we found is you absolutely cannot sleep on your back. If you do getting a device that reminds you not to is best. An easy fix is to take a t shirt with a pocket and sew a tennis ball in it and wear it backwards so that when you turn on your back you will automatically roll over. The mouthguards tend to work best for most mouth snorers. Yes they do take getting used to, and they are not comfortable. My husband has to wear one of those plus a theravent nose strip because he snores out of both and he still sometimes snores. We tried wedge pillows from brookstone that were $100 and cheap ones we found at walmart, none had any effect it was the mechanism not the price. I would also recommend snorelab if you have not done that app already. Good luck.

I just purchased this about 2 weeks ago and I’m finally sleeping through the night again! I’m a back & side sleeper. It has great neck support.

Squishmallow is the only thing that I can lay my head on without feeling pain. I’ve slept so much better since I started using one.

Squishmallow is the only thing that works for me. Also if you search the subreddit you’ll find a lot of conversations around pillows that will have more suggestions

I have a super soft memory foam pillow that I’ve stuffed with a small neck roll bolster to support my neck.

You may have to make something with what you’ve got. I kept experimenting by pulling stuffing out, rolling things up, stuffing more stuff into more pillows and finally landed on this one.

Pillows are so bloody expensive. Try to make something with what you’ve got.

You can buy the small bolsters or you can just roll up some stuff in a pillow case.
