I’ve been waking up with neck stiffness almost every day, especially as a side sleeper. Has anyone here actually seen real improvement using a shoulder relief or ergonomic pillow? Or is it mostly marketing hype?

Would love to hear real experiences before I buy one.

My wife had a good experience with one. The right pillow height made the biggest difference.
