On the pillows, I’ve never had any good luck buying pillows in the past. I tried Beckham Hotel Collection recently because it was the best seller on Amazon, and I figured why not. The king size is definitely the comfier pillow. It’s fluffy but it also gives and sinks in just the right amount. And it wasn’t even nearly the most expensive pillow I was looking at. YMMV but may be worth a shot.

I agree that pillows are very individualized, but I’m going to add my pillow choice out there since everyone else seems to be!
I’m very hot natured, so I found the GhostBed Pillow that stays cool during the night. Add to it that it’s just the right amount of firmness for me, and I love it.
Repeating the name of the person you were just introduced to remember it. As in "Hello EfreetSK, nice to meet you". Doesn't work for me, writing it down afterwards does if I can still remember it
For this situation - my wife and I got coop home goods pillows. Expensive, but sooo worth it. You can add or remove filling from them for firmer or softer, they're not solid memory foam so you won't overheat as easily, and just overall very comfy pillows. A high quality mattress is a great investment too, unfortunately they're expensive. I got a purple mattress 3 or 4 years ago and it ruined regular and memory foam mattresses for me because it's squishy enough to mold to me and be comfy but still give my back support it needs, and is cool enough that I don't overheat. Pillows and mattress were not cheap, but I'd pay double what I did with how much they helped my neck and back at night
Ha, I just recommended Coop Home Goods as well before I read your comment. Best pillows ever.

Hey going off the pillow thing, I was in the same boat until I found a thin pillow. I've never been a memory foam or tempurpedic guy, but this pillow changed my sleep. Sorry of I sound like s shill but I love sleep.
What they meant to say was "Buy a Coop Home Goods Eden Pillow". We have four on our bed and two full body pillows as well. Can't sleep on anything else now, always take at least one when I travel.
Do one even need pillows? I have been pillowless for more than a decade now
For sleeping on your side you do, unless you're a fan of sore necks
