    I suffered for so long and then finally caved and bought a custom-fit pillow for side sleeping. Literally had to go to a physio to measure the space between my neck and the end of my shoulder. It was some of the best $200 I have ever spent, I cannot recommend it enough.

          Why does that cost so much? It’s just a different shape it can’t cost that much more to make than a normal pillow lol

            The material is significantly better than other memory foam pillows of similar shape that I’ve had, but I suspect part of it is the gimmick too of like a medically approved custom sized pillow. I’ve had it for about a year now though and unlike other memory foam ones I’ve had, it’s kept its shape very well and is still as comfortable as when I first got it.

            I’m not super sure but I think they just give you a different size that’s better fitted for in between. Mine is just a tad bit too tall if I sleep on my back, but I had requested a side sleeper only.

            A back sleeper pillow is the right size and shape to fit in a coffin, which is the only time you should be “sleeping” on your back.

            There is more space between your head and the ground when you are on your side

            On your back you want a gradual increase in height from your shoulders up
