Default choosing a pillow

I need a pillow is a constant refrain at my house. I complain about it all the time. I have never found a pillow that lasts longer than six weeks before it starts to give me terrible headaches. I have no idea what to pick in a pillow except I cannot have a memory foam pillow, I get horrific migraines, and I can't have water filled pillows.

I tried to buy a pricier pillow last month, I spent sixty dollars, and I slept beautifully for about a month, and now it gives me headaches. I am at a terrible loss about how to find a pillow!

Is it about the support/angle, or is it about allergies/chemical sensitivities?

I can use a rolled up blanket, a pile of clothes, the cheapest pillow on sale at the cheapest store, and be fine, so I am utterly mystified.

I have the same problem! For me, it's support.

Default Re: choosing a pillow

have you tried a feather pillow? that is all that has ever worked for me. dh uses the regular fluff filled stuff and if i somehow end up asleep on one i wake up and my ear hurts from laying on the "hard" pillow

not always. I sleep on my stomach and my sides. When I'm on my stomach I typically push my pillow out of the way, but I'm typically a side sleeper anymore. It just happened after the baby needed to nurse all night

Default Re: choosing a pillow

Ditch the pillow completely. Same issue here and my headaches and migraines are helped significantly by not sleeping on a pillow at all. Keep a nice fluffy towel or a small throw or travel blanket handy by the bed to wad up under your neck when (if) you turn on your side.
