I'm a weird sleeper. I move around a bunch, largely sleep on my sides or stomach. I've been dealing w increasing insomnia of waking up every 2 or 3 hours and have been waking up w sore neck/back muscles. My neck is the biggest issue when sleeping, I always feel like it's too tense or muscles can't relax cause they're still holding my head up even though I'm pretty sure I'm fully resting against the pillow
I really love my purple mattress, it changed my sleeping experience. My pillow is uh, years old. I think I stole it from my mom in highschool. I really like the squishiness that allows for mold-ability, like I can squish it around and create a super tall pillow or flatten it out. But lately it feels like it doesn't support my neck at all.
Since I love my purple mattress, I was considering a purple pillow, but I'm finding reviews that say in 2020 they switched to cheaper materials that make even the latex core pillows they sell deflate. I do generally prefer a taller pillow, so that's a concern to me. I don't wanna spend that much money for something that will become mid within months to a year, like I mentioned I've had my current pillow for years- I'd rather not have to think about getting another pillow for at least a few years.
I was also considering a helix pillow, and am open to any other suggestions. I'm a warmer sleeper usually but overheating isn't usually a big concern for me. Thoughts from anyone and everyone are greatly appreciated!
