I’ve only bought a few…

    I got lucky and found a pillow I love when I was a young adult, and I’ve been using it around 15 years. Tempur Pedic makes a pillow that looks like the red Saddam Hussein meme, and in the past it was made out of very dense foam so it has retained its shape all these years. I bought a second one recently and they have cheaped out in a big way and it sucks now :(

    It is notably meant for back sleeping only and is only like 4" tall and cradles the back of your head keeping your spine straight. It’s so good, and I’ll probably never find a replacement.

      That’s the same problem I have: every time I find a good one, it sucks the next time I buy it.

      … How does a pillow look like a meme?

        I was too lazy to go find a photo. Here is a photo of the Tempur Pedic pillow I am talking about.

        Your neck rests on the larger side and your skull rests in the valley supported evenly all around. The taller side is only 4" tall on the small size, which is smaller than they recommended for my height, but the medium had too much pressure. It’s been a perfect pillow.

        The new models don’t use the same foam density though so it’s springier than it should be

          Gotcha. I actually have one of those. My kid loved it because, when I got it, they fit perfectly on it. Since then they’ve grown a bit.
