I have an Emma Original Pillow that I’ve had for three years and the support is basically non-existent now, so I wake up in the night and end up with neck and shoulder pain.
I’ve tried a Panda Hybrid pillow and a Simba Hybrid firm pillow but neither were any good to me. The Panda was too low for sleeping on my back and the Simba didn’t have the support I needed. If I was purely a side sleeper it would be probably be okay, but of course I have to be awkward.
I generally prefer memory foam pillows, but it’s been so long since I’ve had a good night’s sleep, I’m willing to try anything.
It’s not the falling asleep that’s the problem, it’s the waking up in discomfort.
No matter how tired you are, you’re still going to wake up in the night if you’re not comfortable.
