Memory Foam Pillows
Target has them on sale in my area. Maybe they are on sale where you live, too.
I recently bought two memory foam pillows - one from Target and one from Walgreens (ya, I hit the big city - lol). They were the same price of $19.99
To me, the one from Walgreens was softer and appeared to be better quality. The one from Target was firmer and had a chemical odor to it - which did not dissipate during the two days I had it before returning it.
But I ended up going back to my old super soft foam pillow - one I scooped out some of the foam out of the middle so I had a bit of a neck support.
But for someone who needs to sleep on the edge of their pillow to allow the mask to hang over the edge, either the Target or Walgreens would work.

I had thought so too, when I first bought mine a couple years ago. I also thought they were way too firm. Now, when I'm at a hotel I yearn for my memory foam pillows! Too cut down on the excessive heat I felt from them, I bought two allergenic pillow covers for each pillow and I use satin pillow cases and its nice and cool year round.
