As a moderately broad shouldered guy who prefers side sleeping, I need robust pillow support.

I find that no pillow I buy, at any price, will last more than six months before its going flat every night.

Am I upset about about something that’s perfectly normal here?

Like the “normal amount of toilet roll,” I feel like this is one of those things that we never know what is normal for others.

    Definitely worth a try. I worry they’re “noisy” if I move in the night. Which I do. A lot.

      Not going to lie, it’s expensive…

      Get the “standard size” and then play with how much buckwheat is inside (there’s a zipper)

      This one has a little foam pad cover, I find it works better for me since sleeping directly on a bag of buckwheat can feel a little weird.

      I fluff it up a little taller when I sleep on my side, then flatten it out to sleep on my back (I switch positions 3-4 times a night). Best pillow I ever owned.

      They take some getting used to but I absolutely adore mine. I don’t find mine to be noisy but I’ve also found mine has help reduce the amount of repositioning I do at night.

      they’re not too noisy in my experience - but it absolutely is an adjustment to sleeping with them

      they also really help with overheating in the summer compared to most other kinds of pillows, they breathe much better
