Coop pillows are great and adjustable- they send you extra fluff if you need a thick pillow or you can take some out of you need a thinner one.

I’ve been using buckwheat pillows for 35 years. I hate going to hotels because of them. For me they are perfect.

Since getting the buckwheat hull pillow, I haven’t had any of that. It takes a couple of days of getting used to, but I honestly can say it’s the best pillow I’ve ever had.

I will co-sign on the purple pillow. I’m obsessed with optimizing sleep, and the Purple pillow helps with heat, and neck issues.

I second the Tempurpedic foam pillows and they also have a chart on the site that has neck to shoulder gap size recommendations which might help.

As a testament to this fucking pillow right here, I don't know how they make them now, but my mom purchased one of these in the early 2000s; I still use this pillow to this day
