Side-sleepers, this is your time to shine.

Bonus if you use CPAP

What is the best side-sleeping pillow you've cycled thru and arrived on

I kinda fee like it should have an (ear)hole kinda like those chiropractor/massage chairs where people lay flat with their face on a cusion with a hole in it so it just supports their head without smushing their face

I’m fully booked for the next few years, unfortunately.

Sounds like they use 1 arm themselves, so I'd guess 1/2 available.

Hi, this is you 10-15 years in the future. You have never heard the term "sleep injury" before, but you have a "sleep injury therapist" now.

Nest Side Sleeper Easy Breather Pillow

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Holy, looks nice. Its more than $200, tho, do you really love it?

How is it for your ear?

[–] async_amuro@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Sadly they are not cheap, but we really like them. It’s nice that you can readjust the foam inside of them and make the “wings” firmer.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Nice, what about your ear tho, is there a way to make a gap for the ear so theres not pressure on it?

[–] async_amuro@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah the cutout sits where your ear is, obviously depends on where you sleep on it… head high up on the pillow, probably some pressure, scoot down a little, ear is in the gap. There are definitely piercing pillows that are similar to hemorrhoids pillows that might be better

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

So there is a cutout/its eargapped?

[–] async_amuro@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

No cutout, but it’s adjustable, but if you need something specific for your ear, might want something else

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

I've used this pillow for years, super happy with it

[–] skeevy_scallops@feddit.online 4 points 2 weeks ago

I use a buckwheat pillow. It's nice for just about any sleeping position and you can add or remove the filling to get a better fit. They definitely take some getting used to, but its been worth it for me.

[–] iamericandre@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I have a foam particle(?) pillow where you can add or remove the shredded foam and it’s been pretty great. I also slept on these ikea pillows in an air bnb that were amazing but I didn’t get the name
