I'm curious, do you sleep on your back? I just haven't found my comfy but I lay on my side, ALL THE TIME.

Lindsey, I'm a side sleeper too. I definitely think that makes all the difference with the pillows. Do you have a Tempurpedic brand mattress? I trust a mattress salesman even less than a car salesman so I have been hesitant to make the leap. We just can't decide WHICH one to get.

I tend to sleep on my side, and buy the pillow from the company store-and I get down. it works for me-and they show what you should get-and they have lots that are not down. if you sleep on your side you do need a pillow for your neck-i get the standard
it is 80-100.but it does make sleeping on my side no stiff neck.

I got a Tempurpedic but only after trying them out. I got mine from The Healthy Back Store - Back related products for sitting, working, sleeping, relaxing, and self therapy.*The Healthy Back stores are located nation wide., they brought it too my house and set it up. Then even have a deal where you can finance it for a year with no interest if you pay it off in that time. I got my pillows for free. My daughter likes them and uses them on her bed.

Almost any bed can be purchased online cheaper then in a store. So take a look around, see what you like and then see what kind deal you can make online. I really thought about getting a sleep number bed but was affraid to deal with possibility of it loosing air as I had heard that sometimes happens. Although they do say that is covered by a warranty.

I used to have a waterbed and I hated dealing with it when it got a leak. BUT I have to say it was comfortable.

I also got two with my mattress, also sleep on my side, and also have back problems. Needless to say, I also don't like the pillows.

My feeling is they aren't thick enough for people who sleep on their side. I also move around at night and found them heavy to move with me.

I sleep with a ceiling fan and another fan pointed at me so maybe thats why I don't feel hot.

I have a fan blowing on me and the cool mist humidifier pointed at me as well. Maybe that's why I don't get hot either.

I sleep on my side. The cheaper one isn't as firm, so I did have to use another pillow with it, but the $30 one holds up.

I know I've seen some of these advertised with "Cool foam" or something like that.

Yes, these are great. I used to have terrible neck pain and the pillow has been a big help. It is worth the price in my opinion. I am going to get the mattress this summer.

I love my bed but not alot could keep me from tossing and turning as I have a couple compressed verte brae in my neck that cause numbness in my arms and at times my shoulder. Sometimes its a toss up about which side I can sleep on.

I am wondering if I should try the pillow again but put another one underneath it to make it high enough. I do have neck problems so maybe that would help.

Yes. Its not as comfortable as regular pillows but it alleviates stiff necks.
