What pillow works for you to help reduce pain?

I have a down pillow but what helps me the most is horseshoe shaped pillow. I put it around my neck and then lay on my pillow. I'm a side sleeper. This allows my neck to have the pillow to lean on instead of nothing, I hope this is clear to you because it's helped me so much.

I also sleep with a horseshoe shaped pillow that is filled with flexible<br />
stuffing (got it at Bed, Bath, and Beyond). That plus some physical<br />
therapy and a neck stretching device that I use at home have helped my<br />
cervical issues considerably. It was the physical therapist that<br />
suggested getting the device after trying it in therapy. I also sleep<br />
with a pillow between my legs for hip issues. All of that plus my CPAP<br />
machine gives this almost 74-year-old a great night's sleep!<br />

Thank you for your response. I really appreciate the feedback and<br />
options. I wish I could use the neck stretching device (I'm drawing a<br />
blank on the name of the device), I actually own one, but have been told I<br />
can no longer use because I am fused from C2-T1, and could cause worse<br />
damage due to all the cages, rods, screws etc.<br />
Thanks again on the pillow recommendations.<br />
Best Regards,<br />

Thank you for your reply, you are the 2nd person who has mentioned the<br />
horseshoe pillow for relief. I will definitely look into it. Thanks again<br />
for taking the time to respond to my post. I cant tell you how much a<br />
simple gesture like that helps me make it through one more day<br />
Best Regards,<br />

And if that does not work try the brand "My Pillow". I have degenerate disc disease in my neck from 2 whiplash auto accidents and I have spent a lot of money on different pillows. The "My Pillow" works great but the queen size works best. Also I sleep with a body pillow and another one on top or the body pillow to support my arms for my shoulder pain. I wish you luck.
