(Part 3) Best bed pillows & positioners according to redditors

Lot of good info here, but a few things are missing:

• Use a sitz bath. Place it over the toilet seat, fill it with warm water and Epsom salts, and browse reddit for about fifteen minutes. Do this twice a day.
  
  
• Use a Squatty Potty when you poop. It shifts the position of your abdominal muscles, allowing you to pass doodoo more easily and without straining. The last thing you want to do is squeeze that little fucker out even further.
  
  
• Wipe your bum with medicated wipes. In addition to quenching the fire down below, they also feel goddam luxurious. Some people might tell you they're bad for your septic tank or sewage system. These people are damn, dirty liars. Do it anyway.
  
  
• Sit on an ass donut any time you need to be seated for a while. In the car, at the office, having tea with the Queen -- the Ass Donut™ goes wherever you go!
  
  Several commenters have suggested using Preparation H or some other sort of cream. Do that, too. With abandon. Don't be shy about it, neither. Eventually, your new buttmate will quietly slink away into nameless oblivion.

Here. That site is NSFW, so be careful. That is just the cover as well, you still need the inner pillow which a modest one can be purchased from amazon, such as this one. Also I know nothing about body pillows, do not look at my post history.

Right here!

Edit: I'll keep adding things as I remember them. I'm not adding the usual stuff like laptops, ipads, gym gear, etc, because those seem...common sense?

• Cold meds with pseudoephedrine
  
• Magnets (for lockers if you get one)
  
• 3M command hooks of varying weight limits
  
• Strong plastic coat hangars
  
• 550 cord (I'd say no more than 30' of it)
  
• Headlamp with red and white light (find one that you don't have to go "through" the white to get to the red!)
  
• 2-3 good quality plastic clothes pins to hold curtains closed or some other task (the ones linked are identical to the ones at the Dollar Store for, I think, $4 for 12)
  
• Knife sharpener
  
• Pocket knife
  
• Suction cup hook for the shower (if you use a bath scrubby)
  
• Nail clippers and nail file
  
• Small FA kit (bandaids, etc)
  
• Small sewing kit with the right colours of thread
  
• GoToobs for stuff like shampoo and body wash (and aloe gel if you burn)
  
• Bose noise cancelling headphones (with a spare battery)
  
• Camera (don't be the guy that brings a DSLR with 5 lenses)
  
• Couple of power adapters if power is different
  
• Water bottle (and denture cleaning tablets to clean it if there's no bottle brush)
  
• Couple of locks (combo or keyed-alike, varying sizes)
  
• Travel blanket
  
• Inflatable neck pillow (the best one I've ever used)
  
• Anker USB battery bank (love Anker products!)
  
• Anker PowerPort
  
• Depending on living accommodations, I also have a "travel kitchen" that I take with me that has a good Santoku knife, cutting board, pepper grinder and garlic press.
  
• 2-3 tide pods because it could be a few days or a week before you get to the PX
  
• If you know your sleeping arrangements, buy a "bed in a bag" for that bed size. Nothing like having your own good sheets to slide into after a rough day. Make sure you wash everything before heading over, so they're soft and ready to go when you get there.
  
• A collapsable shoe organizer that you can use to store gitch, socks, t-shirts, etc, or even a collapsable sweater organizer (or two) if you want more horizontal space and less vertical.
  
• If you're coming home or going somewhere on HLTA, don't forget to pack a civvie-pattern backpack. Don't be the guy wandering around a foreign airport wearing your day pack and combat boots in jeans.
  
• Birthday/Anniversary/special event cards that you can mail from your location (shows you were thinking of them well in advance of your departure and before the event). Bonus points if it's a mushy anniversary card to a significant other, ensuring that your return is "extra special".

The worst pillow ever. That being said, if you are looking for an incredible pillow that can help to solve your neck pain, try the below:

I don't figure I'm in any position to say whether or not we'll be getting a new season or not, but these are the factors I'm familiar with. Keep in mind, I only really recently got back into anime so this may be kinda warped.

The source material needs more content to work off of. I believe its still being written so this would be a matter of time more than anything.

The key source of revenue for anime isn't in the viewings. Merchandise is what decides if it was profitable. I believe that includes tail and source material.

We periodically get OVA content. Its pretty consistently been an excuse to throw in a little more interaction and dress characters up along certain themes. I'm not sure the relevance of this, but that does mean that there is still content being created for it at the moment (assuming I understand this correctly.)

I can't give you any clear answer based off what little I know, but I think its pretty much entirely going to be based off of book, blu-ray, and tail sales. Its not much, but you can look into some of the other anime the team behind the show have made previously. I watched this one before Dragon Maid.

About 18 months ago I got one of these bamboo pillows , and at the risk of sounding like a commercial, it took my chronic nighttime neck pain away. I had tried so many pillows over the years and they didn’t help. I saw someone on here mention it and I was skeptical but it worked. Didn’t improve my migraines, but I slept a lot better. Whoever you are that recommended it- thank you!

Here

I will second the Trtl travel pillow (they sell them in a 2 pack as well!), a headphone splitter or adapter (larger international planes normally just have aux inputs and don't work with Bluetooth but there are adapters on Amazon if they already have Bluetooth headphones they like), noise cancelling headphones (these ones come with an aux to plug in on the plane, I own them and they're great!), compression socks, eye masks, and Global Entry!

[UPDATE]
After almost 2 days (directions recommend at least 1 day) of letting the pillow air out and expand it still felt somewhat clumpy to me. I took all the stuffing out and restuffed it after getting all the clumps out of the stuffing. The end result is a very serviceable pillow though still not as fluffy and springy as my withAQUA. Covers seem to slide around on the pillow fairly easily which is annoying because the seam on the long side of the pillow inevitably shifts so that it's not underneath the seam on the cover and it triggers my OCD.

Overall I feel like the CMD 9900LS may be a good value option for people who don't wanna spend over $100 on an inner pillow or if you like your inners to be less dense feeling. Keep in mind I had to do a bit of work to get the pillow feeling nice but YMMV.
[END UPDATE]

I wish you had posted this a couple days earlier. I actually ordered the CMD 9900LS last morning and received it this afternoon. It cost just under $80 and got to me in just over a day thanks to Amazon's amazing shipping. Mine is currently reinflating but I will echo OP's findings that the CMD 9900LS doesn't feel like it has enough filling. It does not stand up vertically on it's own and if I hang it on my arm it pretty much just folds in half. I'm going to give the CMD overnight to hopefully fill up a little more but so far I'm not impressed.

The other inner pillow I have is a Fules withAQUA. It cost me just under $70 for the pillow itself and just under $65 to have it forwarded and shipped. So far the CMD feels considerably less filled than the Fules pillow even though the Fules is almost a year old and has 0.1kg less filling. To be honest, the Fules pillow actually feels overstuffed and I've actually thought about removing some of the filling. It can stand up vertically on it's own and hanging it on my arm each side only droops about 30-35 degrees.

This is called "aerophagia" (literally "air eating") and I had it too. It can be that the pressure is set too high or too low, but before making pressure changes, maybe try:

• For me, forcing myself to stay on my side helped. Some people sew a tennis ball into the lower back of a T-shirt. I use a CPAP pillow with a cutout that makes this easier. Here's the one I like: https://www.amazon.com/Contour-Products-CPAPMax-Pillow-CPAP/dp/B01LYNBWXG/
  
  
• Consider trying a foam cervical collar. This can help to keep your head up. Here's the one I've used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MXT9PIH/
  
  
• Use a chinstrap, even if you don't need it for "mouth breathing". Sometimes we gulp air and the chinstrap might prevent this. Here's the one I like: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006O8LVX2/
  
  
• Turn on/up the EPR. Most machines have some sort of "expiratory pressure relief" that will lower the pressure when you exhale. This setting is less invasive than changing the overall pressure. On Philips machines it's called C-Flex. It's usually in the hidden "clinician's menu": http://www.apneaboard.com/adjust-cpap-pressure/change-cpap-pressure-settings-adjusting-your-machine-with-a-clinician-setup-manual
  
  
• Change the pressure. (Maybe talk with your doc first.) If pressure is too high, then air is forced into stomach. If pressure is too low, then you might be gulping air to compensate.
  
  
• Switch to a BiPAP machine. This is like EPR on steroids.

They are also in human pillows.

I use one and it's amazing for my neck.

It's hard to say without knowing the person, but a unique gift could be the turtl pillow. I have one and really like it.
I would assume most people already have a decent set of earphones that they prefer to use, so I'd be hesitant to buy those in fear of wasting money. As for gift cards, you can get them a Spotify gift card if that's what they use.

I just had to replace my old pillow, I was in the same situation as you. I got a slim bamboo pillow and it's working pretty good. Stays flat and soft, and doesn't make me feel like I'm suffocating when I'm laying on my stomach. Fluffs up decently too if you want some 'reading in bed' support. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014E9UMH8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Maybe this?

I got one of these and use it in addition to a small square throw pillow that goes in the bottom middle of the backrest and then I use my regular (more flat) pillow at the top of the backrest. Seems to be working pretty well for me. I am currently 2 days post op and can sleep for about 6 hours at a time this way.

You two always look stunning of course. This pillow is something I need for sleeping. It's a cooling pillow and due to the amount of meds I take I get very hot when I sleep, ugh :( so unattractive!!

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LYU7V4S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_IjojDbG633JDX

Created an account after months of lurking to post this.

I have had sleep problems for as long as I can remember; without going into the symptoms, diagnoses, etc. in the interest of brevity, these are the steps I have taken to correct it:

Typical good sleep habits (Standard fare, I sometimes break these rules but stick to them whenever possible) -

• No videogames within an hour of bedtime.
  
• Ingest as little sugar as possible within two hours of bedtime.
  
• No large meals within three hours of bedtime.
  
• No exercise within four hours of bedtime.
  
• Once the sun goes down, try to keep all lights as dim as possible without causing discomfort to your eyes; consider turning down the brightness of your monitor a few notches, too.
  
• Exercise for at least ten minutes a day, as close to mid-day as possible ((I find a descending set of 10 burpees to be a great workout; it can take less than 15 minutes and is completely exhausting, and any redditor that says they don't have 15 minutes to spare in the day is lying)).
  
• Get up at the same time every morning, even weekends.
  
• Go to bed at the same time every night, even weekends.
  
• Bear in mind, the "sleepy effect" of alcohol wears off in a few hours; this can cause you to wake up in the middle of the night, unable to go back to sleep.
  
  Absolute darkness at bedtime (The end result is as close to pitch black as I can manage) -
  
  
• Tin-foil over bedroom window
  
• Alarm clock's display covered
  
• All LED indicators in the room covered
  
• Night mask for good measure.
  
  Focusing on breathing - Random thoughts can easily keep me awake for several hours at a time, simply because I spend so much time thinking about them that my mind never "shuts off." A personal method that I came up with to combat this (I don't recall reading about it anywhere, it just occurred to me one night) is to concentrate on my breathing with the highest degree of focus possible, in hopes that my mind's resources are so fully devoted to the task that it has nothing left to have random thoughts with. It actually seems to work spectacularly. I am no longer "bored" when trying to go to sleep, because I am actively engaged in a task; sleep seems to occur within minutes.
  TL;DR -
  
  
• Devote your full attention and focus to your breathing and/or how your body feels.
  
• If you think about anything, you aren't paying enough attention to your breathing.
  
• You shouldn't have to adjust your sleeping position more than once or twice. Discomfort may be a sign that you need a better pillow or mattress. If this isn't an option, try to focus only on your breathing, and ignore the discomfort.
  
  Comfortable mattress/pillow - When I first moved into my current apartment, I had no mattress or pillow; having only had springy hand-me-down mattresses up to this point, I decided to opt for the cheapest memory foam mattress I could find, and was so impressed that I later bought a memory foam pillow as well. $300-$350 overall with free shipping; the claims of the mattress being environmentally-friendly was a deciding factor for me (the free shipping even more so) but if you're unconcerned about that, consider it icing on the cake.
  
  Light therapy - This form of treatment is apparently experimental; I myself have only been using it a few months, but it's been more effective than any of the five sleep medications I've tried. In a nutshell, an extremely bright light (20 times brighter than typical indoor lighting) acts as an artificial sun, prompting a "wake up" response from your body. By causing this response at the same time every day (within an hour of waking up) for a few weeks, your body naturally adjusts your internal clock accordingly.
  
  The Phillips BriteLITE 6 was actually given to me free of charge by my medical provider. After a few months of using it I'm certain it's worth every penny, but I realize dropping $180 on an unproven method that you heard about on the internet probably seems unwise.
  
  Obviously, try the above methods first, or try using natural sunlight if you live in a sunny area. If the above methods don't work, natural sunlight isn't available, or you just hate going outside, do some research on Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorders (DSPS is one of them), Melatonin, etc., and consider it. I could go into more detail about the BriteLITE 6 if you'd like, or make a separate AMA for my experience with Light Therapy (remember, I'm no doctor; this is just something I'm trying, am thoroughly impressed with, and want to spread the word about). Otherwise, good luck to you, sir.
  
  EDIT: Fixed the bullet point formatting, added bold to the different methods.

What do you guys think about the following pillow: Here

I'm trying to get an inner pillow but I don't want one too expensive. I need to buy something under $100

I need to balance quality and price, and this one seems legit since I can also find it with a lot of reviews in Amazon Japan

I'm new to this and I'm looking to buy an inner body pillow from Amazon.Mainly, I'm interested in these two:https://www.amazon.com/Full-Pillow-Vacuum-Package-150x50cm/dp/B01C6OX860/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1541816266&sr=8-1&keywords=dakimakura+pillow+150x50

Can someone let me know their opinions on these and what they recommend?

Thanks!

Not at all. If you have a minimum for goaltender starts, that's all you need.

If they have a problem with it, buy them one of these for all that butthurt.

After seeing some less-than-stellar comments about peoples' experiences with Royal Pillow, I figured I ought to try looking elsewhere. Does anyone have experience with this one from Arrowzoom or this one from Zituop or anything else like them? These two seem to be the most well-received on Amazon, but there are few enough reviews it seemed like a good idea to check elsewhere.

I know probably nothing in this price range is gonna compare to a DHR in fluffiness, but for 1/5th the price I'm totally okay with something that's just as "adequate" as it can be.

the change in manufacturing for DHR6000 was temporary and confined to the summer and fall of 2017 as far as i know. i believe they reverted back when customers noticed a difference and complained. if you don't even want to consider DHR6000, there are many alternatives:

• CMD9000 by comodo
  
  
• withAqua by fules
  
  
• marshmallow expert by chara@

This is like gifting 100s of buckwheat hulls

Wow that's scary, hope you feel better and the clot is destroyed quickly. I'm guessing youre on stronger blood thinners? And how did they find the clot in the lungs? Its good you went to the ER when you did. I completely understand the frustration with the calf pain, it was annoying af.

I ended up going to the ER and got an ultrasound to. They didn't find any clots in my leg, but didn't check my lungs. I also didn't really have any signs of pulmonary embolism so it probably wasn't necessary. The ER doctors kept in contact with my surgeon which was nice, but were unable to give me a solid diagnosis. I finally had my post op with the surgeon a week later and he diagnosed it as a bad hematoma. Apparently my hamstring bled a lot during the graph, and all the blood pooled in my calf, eventually forming the hematoma. He still told me to monitor signs of a DVT, but to try and move around a reasonable amount to breakup the hematoma.

The calf pain was quite shitty for a solid 3 weeks or so but it got slightly better each day. I'm started walking crutch free (around 3.5 weeks post op) and now only a little bit of pain in my lower leg (closer to the ankle), but its definitely much much better. I found that elevating my leg helped a lot, same with regular icing. Also, do tons of ankle pumps.

These 3 products were really helpful:

​

It was a bit painful using the knee pillow and took some getting used to but it helped tremendously. Ideally, you don't want to bend your knee much when sleeping, so I placed a small pillow under my foot at the top of this pillow.

The first ice pack is great as it stays nice and cool thanks to the insulation, and the straps work really well.

The second ice pack is great cause it wraps around your entire leg. I had 3 ice packs I rotated through, started off by icing my knee, then moved it over to my calf after around 20 minutes.

​

Hope you have a safe recovery man!

Getting a cervical support pillow like this one helped me a ton. They're awkward to sleep on for the first few days but you get used to it pretty quickly. Also completely got rid of persistent neck pain that was plaguing me for months.

I have a pillow just like this with the shredded memory foam, it might be this same one. I like it a lot. It was firmer than what I was used to but it's grown on me and maybe it is just what I needed since I haven't woken up with neck pain or a headache since.

Like you said it does get packed down and you have to re-fluff it. I find that just throwing it in the dryer for a quick tumble un-compresses it and makes it fluffy again, I do this maybe once a month.

Edit: I have this one: https://www.amazon.com/Snuggle-Pedic-Ultra-Luxury-Combination-Adjustable-Hypoallergenic/dp/B0725349FN/

I had never been able to sleep on an airplane (due to head droop) until I got one of these:

They work great...

Magic Stud Finder takes a little longer, but it's a lot more reliable, especially in older buildings, it will stick to the little nails holding the lath to the framing.

If you want all the bells and whistles, go with this.

I like this one , which is less of a pillow and more of a support. It takes up less space than a traditional neck pillow and gives better support.

I like the memory foam personally.

https://www.amazon.com/Classic-Brands-Conforma-Memory-Pillow/dp/B0043L17NG/ref=sr_1_4?s=bedbath&ie=UTF8&qid=1494555553&sr=1-4&refinements=p_n_feature_three_browse-bin%3A10671109011

I would strongly suggest a total of four pillows in case you have an ahem overnight guest. Looks nicer when the bed is made too.

I toss and turn less but this pillow could help too. I miss being able to roll over on my stomach and think this would help because it's got cut outs for your mask.

You are so amazing for doing this contest, over and over again. Funds are tight this month because SO's mom is flying us to Florida for her wedding, but expecting us to pay for all of the other costs -.- I really need new pillows.Like these ones. Not only are fluffy pillows more comfortable in general,I have been fighting a chest cold that makes it really hard to lay horizontally at night because of the fluid... resulting in at least an hour of hacking and coughing before I manage to fall asleep at night. Thanks again for the contest, you're awesome<3

Thanks!

I prolly don't have more of a thing than you. I mostly typed that out jokingly. Still love the meme, the porn is great ;)

I'd readily buy it if it weren't tainted by bootlegging. Seeing her listed on many storefronts across several sites among numerous bootlegs from Cuddly Octopus and others keeps me from giving to those numerous faces belonging to a single mass of bootleggery.

I can't say I really care much about what bootlegging does to other's business, more that I like throwing my money at people who care about their craft. Bootlegging is lifeless work. Much of dakimakura is art by fans who draw by their styles that change and improve. Doesn't always appeal to me but when it does, gotta buy till the wallet's dry! Most Chinese sellers like these churn out daki based on what's hype in the moment. To me, the art looks stale, selling by broad appeal.

Anyways, that's me and you do you, of course. I still love that Bowsette daki, the pierced tits especially.

If you don't already have a decent daki inner, I recommend COMODO just because they're conveniently on Amazon while the DHR and others are incredibly marked up. There's the 160cm CMD9000 and CMD9900LS and the 150cm CMD9150 and CMD9950MS. Great entry for higher class Japanese inners, much better than standard maternity pillows and generic Chinese inners. Prices fluctuate of course, with my CMD9900LS at 80 USD and I've seen it gone lower.

Cospa isn't bad, but it's not a premium body. From what I've seen on this sub, most people seem to prefer something more in the line of A&J, Comodo or Marshmallow, but those are the more serious collectors.

I was plenty happy with one that was basically Cospa's price-class with more stuffing for many years, though I have a Fules WithAqua now, which I think is the cheapest premium pillow you can get thanks to their ongoing introductory price.

This pillow and these computer glasses. I'd like to think life wise they'll be a little more helpful than a 3ds.

Best thing I did was cook a bunch of food to throw in the freezer. Big batches of soup, chili, etc.

I didn't find that I really needed accessories for my crutches, but I have a small apartment so it wasn't difficult to get around from one room to the other. If you're having to move across large distances, it may be nice to get a bag that attaches. Otherwise, use a fanny pack or something that you already have.

Shower stool was a nice to have, but wish I had borrowed instead of bought it. Only used it for the first 2 weeks.

I bought this pillow to sleep with and it was a god send to me. Before surgery, when I slept in the brace, my leg would keep falling to the side which left me with lots of hip pain. This kept me elevated and prevent side to side movement. Also used this a lot while sitting on the couch and propping up my leg on the ottoman.

Some of my favorite Amazon items that I've purchased for my solo trips:

-- Selfie stick/ tripod with bluetooth remote (which is nice when there's no one around to take a photo for me)

-- These amazing silicone earplugs that block out all noise and make for a good night's sleep.

-- Luggage locks

-- Some sort of compact travel pillow for flights/train rides

-- A good sleep mask

Not sure what is affordable. But this is the best pillow I've had. And you can wash it too.

Happened to me all the time. Getting a buckwheat pillow helped a lot: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0037NX61M?keywords=buckwheat%20pillow&qid=1453980520&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1

Make sure it has enough buckwheat to support your head and neck and kind of bunch it up towards your headboard. You'll be in a bit of an incline (but comfortably supported) and your shoulder should be largely relieved of the pressure.

This works pretty well: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001IIJY8C/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_wUjZtb1GR8ATC5Z1

Hey /u/Onmymind42 I guess I'm just one of the lucky ones whose mother got them a Liberator Wedge 35 years ago in the form of a "Husband Pillow"

My wife got one for herself and each of our teanage kids. The irony is that theirs are ripping and falling apart yet my wife and I routinely use ours for sex and it's still going! And I doubt that the kids have used theirs for sex becuase they haven't taken to their dorms. If they have snuck someone into their bedrooms for some knookie - more power to them!

From a sexual point of view, I can say that the wedge most definitely does enhance the experience. It gives a great angle for missionary. It also helps change things up a bit for the rear entry positions and helps to relax a bit for anal sex. Wedges are great sex toys.

You need one of these

So my issues stem from my neck and keeping it from moving is key for me. While I do not get much sleep because of how much pain I'm in, the pillow I've found does help a little. Therapeutica Sleeping Pillow - Average https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015N45KDY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_Q98jYGu8ExKQ1

COMODO Original High Class Body... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DHT7NPV?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share. This body pillow helps prop my leg to get comfy.

I really like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Sleep-Better-Iso-Cool-Memory-Contour/dp/B000ZK7MPG/ref=pd_rhf_shvl_5

It keeps cool so your head doesn't get hot at night.

I just bought this fancy shredded memory foam pillow. https://www.amazon.com/Coop-Home-Goods-Adjustable-Hypoallergenic/dp/B01LYU7V4S

Absolutely love it. Easily the best pillow i've ever felt. You can adjust it to exactly how you want it. They even give you a bag of extra memory foam if for some reason you need more. It's "gel infused" so it keeps the temp down too. I'll never want a different pillow.

Thanks everyone! After talking with my ENT doctor this morning, I ended up buying this one:

Contour Products, CPAPMax 2.0 Pillow for Sleeping with CPAP Machine, works for side, back and stomach sleepers, alleviates leaking, reduces noise, no odors https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LYNBWXG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_2bKJDb3RD0AQ

Also, my doctor reminded me about getting a night guard too.

I am looking for a rather cheap inner pillow and found this one on US amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Full-Pillow-Vacuum-Package-150x50cm/dp/B01C6OX860 is it any good? im trying to spend around $100 so this pillow seems perfect. apologies if this has been asked before.


Also are there any Futaba Sakura from Persona 5 pillow cases out there? I found some online, but not sure if they are bootlegs are not. Thanks in advance :D

good luck going forward --plenty of good advice ITT.

One "accessory " that helps me with sleeping with my full face mask is a Buckwheat hull Pillow . it can be formed to help make room for the mask while supporting your head.

I could not get used to a nose only mask. the chin strap was a deal killer for me.

there are also other kinds of CPAP specific pillows out there.

No personal experience. I’ve heard okay things, but for that price you could get a dhr6/7000 or any number of legit Japanese pillows. I think the verdict is still out on the authenticity, but if https://www.amazon.com/COMODO-Original-CMD9150-Dakimakura-Maternity/dp/B07DHT7NPV is legit that is an amazing price for a respected Japanese pillow. It might not be as good as, say, a DHR7000, but it’s also almost a third of the price. Im mighty tempted to pick one up to supplement my dhr6000.

Edit: sorry, meant to mention that the link and price I mentioned are for the US. No idea if that price is amazing in other parts of the world.

We'll need one of these for tomorrow.

I got this one and it works well for me https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BCQ7U5S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Bjl8CbKHNW7W9

For those of you who love the bed life and don't need this advice, double advice time! I highly suggest one of these, one of these, along with a decent laptop and mouse.

I bought this one a month ago and it’s incredible. Therapeutica Sleeping Pillow - Average https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015N45KDY It doesn’t look like it would be comfortable, but it holds everything in alignment while I sleep. There’s enough space that when I roll to my sides, my head stays in alignment on the slightly raised portions and keeps my shoulders from subluxating. By far the best pillow I’ve ever owned.

I use this one It's so damned comfy and it stays pretty cool (I don't flip my pillow to the cool side anymore)

I really like this pillow

Core Products D-Core Cervical Pillow, Midsize, Firm - 22”x 15” https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000ESPJX6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_4jnCzbQG7NRCE

I bought a new one several months ago. I'm a back/side sleeper and need a lower profile. I also like a heavier pillow. Sometimes during a bad migraine I sit them on my head. The pressure helps. shruggs This one has been great! I would recommend it to a friend. Or a reddit community.

Pillows can help but they are not enough. You need to strengthen your neck and shoulder muscles and learn proper posture, sleeping posture is important. You might want to do some PT to learn the various exercises. Read about the McKenzie Method. There are books and YouTube videos. Modern life causes us to bend forward over our chests and this takes a toll on the neck. Learning to keep your head erect and shoulders back will help a lot.

As far as pillows go it's very individual. Something I love will be hell for someone else. I do get killer headaches from neck osteoarthritis and some pillows are definitely better than others.

Right now my favorite is a Jackson roll. It's a little thick at first but now it's a little flatter. Works great for side sleeping. I am 5'2", if you're a different height it might not be as good a fit for you.

If you sleep on your back then you can try a Tri-Core pillow, I like this for when I am reading with my reading wedge. It goes at the top of the wedge behind my head. I also use the Tri-Core when I do yoga nidra meditations, which are typically done lying on your back.

I can't use the Tri-Core for back sleeping because my head rolls to the side. You can use it for side sleeping. But if you want to lie on your back without head rolling then a Mooshi Squish works well.

I have a couple of memory foam pillows, including a contoured Tempur-Pedic and they're just not right. Plus in the winter they're too hard and too soft in the summer.

Haha, I loved this comment. If your walls are plaster, then no one can help.

Here's a suggestion. If you like to identify studs by the nails used to attach drywall, consider one of these:

http://www.amazon.com/Biary-Innovations-MSFL-T1003-Targets-included/dp/B001IIJY8C/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8

Your method may or may not work depending on how well the drywall is finished and it could be time consuming to turn the lights on and off. The magic stud finder is pretty cool because it finds studs quickly and leaves a nice little target hanging on the wall. It was a life saver when installing base boards as I could quickly mark several in a row then come back with my nailer.

well that's easy. just take one of these:

http://www.amazon.com/Virtually-Indestructible-Key-Board-linux/dp/B00006B70R

and glue it to one of these:

voila!

Crap. I'm not taller taller than ^^^__ so can I still play?

The most important item on my list right now is this pillow because without it I wake up with MAJOR headaches and the one I have is totally flatty mcflattface now.

PS. Ruger (I have one at home!)

Amazon's got ya covered
https://www.amazon.com/Original-Butt-Donut-Cushion-Inflatable/dp/B014SC9QDM

It's a bit pricey at nearly $60 but I got one of these memory foam/bamboo pillows last year and it's pretty awesome.

https://www.amazon.com/Snuggle-Pedic-Ultra-Luxury-Combination-Adjustable-Hypoallergenic/dp/B0725349FN/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=bamboo+pillow&qid=1556198652&s=home-garden&sr=1-4

To be honest, when it first arrived it was a little too thick but they have a zipper that lets you easily remove some of the shredded memory foam so you can get it to the size you want.

Firstly, I LOVE YOUR NECKLACES. Absolutely adorable. (I'm obsessed with keys!!)

Kitten mittens!

I bought this one off amazon, and love it. I sleep on my side and use a full face mask, and those cutouts are perfect for my use. The one downside I have now though, is I can't sleep without this pillow. If I travel it comes with...

No feedback, but the friction does transfer some noise/ vibration through it. I remembered I had gotten this pillow a while ago and it has helped quite a bit to alleviate the pressure of sleeping on my side.

I had the same issue, i would wake up feeling like I had been pressing the back of my head really hard into the pillow. I got a cervical pillow , it has a depression in the center of the pillow, so it's comfortable for back and side sleep. It takes a few nights to get used to, but I don't wake up with pressure on the back of my head anymore.

> good poncho

I recently bought this one and although I haven't had a chance to test it in the rain yet, it seems like it should work pretty well. It's big enough to cover my travel backpack, packs down pretty small, and it zips up (as opposed to buttoning up or ones that don't even open up) so it's way easier to put on. I just noticed that they changed the description of it to say that it's a "women's" poncho. When I bought it, it had no gender classification, but in any event, it's a poncho so it's not exactly gender-specific anyway, and it fits me well (I'm a pretty big guy).

> good packable neck pillow

I have this inflatable neck pillow and it's great. Since it's inflatable, you can adjust how much air you put it in to control how firm it is.

Yeah, it as only like this for the comparison picture. My wedge pillow has a trough in the middle so there’s nothing to bend the knee. I have a pillow on the edge for my heel to assist with full extension. This pillow has been wonderful, very helpful for comfortable sleeping. Just making sure to do heel pumps and quad firing throughout the day.

I bought this one and it seems to be made for side sleepers. It's a little too thick for me, but I tend to like my pillows regular size.

I would - it’s supposed to help re-introduce a proper curve in your neck.

The article recommends the following, and FWIW I use the same one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07MBJP7LJ
