Best Pillow For Side Sleeper?

Post by cnl390 » Fri Jan 02, 2026 2:13 pm

It has been a long time since I last posted here because everything has been going so well.
Now it's time for a new pillow and I am looking for some recommendations. I have been using a buckwheat hull pillow for over ten years and like it. But I'm wondering if there is something I would like better.
I am a side sleeper and use the Philips Nuance nasal pillow mask.
Thanks

I also used the Buckwheat Hull Pillow for over 10 years. I changed about a year ago to a foam pillow. The pillow has pieces of foam and not a solid piece. Every morning I fluff the pillow so it is ready for the next night. In 17+ years, I have never had a problem with any pillow I have used. I am also primarily a side sleeper. I don't think you will find a pillow that is as heavy or firm as the buckwheat.
