What's the best pillow to choose? I'm a side sleeper with neck & jaw pain

I’m in desperate need of a new pillow but feeling overwhelmed by the options out there. I’m a side sleeper and constantly wake up with neck and jaw pain.

I bought a pillow from Eileensia a few days ago, and it’s a contour one. I am a side sleeper, especially left-sided sleeper. I can only sleep on high pillow cuz i got cervical kyphosis. The Eileensia contour pillow was pretty good, you can give it a try. The coop cut-out pillow was also good, my gf got one but not for me.

I totally get how frustrating that can be. The best pillow for side sleepers with neck and shoulder pain is one that keeps your head and neck in line with your spine. Something supportive but not too hard, and adjustable if possible, can really help ease the pain and make a big difference in how you feel when you wake up.

I have been dealing with chronic neck pain for years as a side sleeper and this pillow has been a total game changer the two different contour heights let me flip it for perfect support without waking up stiff.The cooling memory foam stays comfy all night and does not get hot like my old pillows and after just a week my morning headaches are pretty much gone.Highly recommend if you are tired of tossing and turning worth every penny
