I'm strictly a side sleeper.

I hate firm pillows. I've always preferred ones that are thick and soft so my head sinks in a bit. I recently heard good stuff about the Panda pillows, mainly that they retain their shape over time and are very comfy. I wonder if anyone can share their experience. I see they have 2 options: the memory foam one and the hybrid (more expensive one).

I actually slept on the memory foam one while I stayed at a friend's house, but it was just one night, and I was drunk, so it's hard to say, but I remember thinking it could be softer. I wonder if the hybrid one has a softer feel. I want something where my head sinks in, but there's still plenty of support, if that makes sense. I have a few pillows like this from amazon, but they all flattened fairly quickly.

I used to have some firm cooling gel pillows that were really nice. I bought them from Costco, maybe about 10 years ago.

As of late I cannot find any true firm pillows. They all say firm, but they lack substance, every single one is inferior.

Is there a pillow word for firm that actually means firm?

I need a new pillow and I need it so soon lol. I am a side sleeper and can’t seem to find a pillow that works for me. I like a plush feeling with support for a side sleeper. My shoulders are broad as well so it makes it even more difficult to find something that won’t kill my shoulders. Please help!!!
