    It sounds strange, but in a way, pillows do give an abnormal spine curvature next to the head, which technically can cause problems.

    I do know people that straight up decided not to use pillows because of neck pain and use the arm as a pillow instead.

    First weeks were a bit horrendous but eventually got around it, and now, no more morning neck pain.

      Yeah, especially if you sleep on your back, no pillow or a thin pillow is generally what I’ve seen recommended from medical sources…
