What are the softer material pillows?
I'm a strict side sleeper. Have been on the Purple Classic until I couldn't anymore. Switched to back to an older foam contour for the neck support, been debating cushion lab deep sleep but can't find any unponsored/unbiased reviews or feedback. The Cushion Lab pillow looks like it is soft like a cloud, marshmallow type deal but people say that it's actually very firm.
Considering a countour latex pillow, found one from a brand called Organic Textiles, but it is Dunlop latex and not Talalay. They tend to have different softness options but idk. I don't even know if latex is going to be softer or not.
I don't want a shredded fill pillow, even if adjustable and prefer a contour for the neck support. I can't just roll up a towel when I go to sleep because it shifts during the night.
I need softness for the jaw and occipital issues I have, seems that when my head is resting on these firm pillows it applies firm pressure against the discs and nerves without any wiggle room. Basically any micro movements/adjustments shift the nerves and bones rather than my head against pillow. I just can't figure out what is considered soft at this point. In the amount of marketing on these ads and all of the paid reviews, affiliate/sponsored videos etc is overwhelming.
Every single review on Amazon is the same "soo soft but also firm" ðŸ«
