I sleep every-which-way. Some days stock still on my back like the dead, other days on my front sprawled out, and other days on my side. I’ve got pretty broad shoulders and the purple pillow (the flat one, not the poofy one) and medium-firm mattress combo does wonders for me. On my side I sink just enough into the mattress to lay my head flat, and on my back/front works just the same. Not sure how well it would work for you, and Purple is a bit pricey, but I highly recommend them. Just make sure you try them out at one of their locations, first. The grid is easy to get used to (I got used to it in a few days, and now I never notice it), so try to ignore the texture, just go by overall feel
My mom uses like ten thousand pillows to sleep and I just cannot. I need a thin pillow, so I like ones that are already “broken in”. How do side sleepers manage to sleep with thick pillows and not hurt their necks?
The thinner the pillow, the better. Fuck hotels
So… Do you just use the pillow case? 🤔 That would be quite thin.
I have the purple pillow. It’s great! Both sides are “the cold side” and, if needed, you could kill a man with it!
My wife has one of these. I don’t like the weird texture it has and often refer to it as her “space waffle” pillow, which gets a laugh out of her.
I got used to the texture pretty quick, and it’s well worth it. I even got a purple mattress, which is just as great
I’m definitely not paid by Purple, haha
Honestly, I’ve been having trouble with this lately so even if you were I’m desperate for solutions.
They didn’t tell me as a kid that side sleeping would be a problem.

Wool filled pillow that you can add/remove filling from.

I’ll shill for the above company, have had the wooly down for 9+ years, added more to it once a couple years ago.
I bring a couple of pillows from home whenever I can. Doesn’t work for flights, of course, but on shorter trips it’s a godsend.
I use one of those bags with a pump to shrink my pillow to a tiny size for travel. Fits great in the luggage then.
