I’ll start by acknowledging that pillow comfort is a subjective topic. But I’ll share what I’m looking for and maybe people will have suggestions. I’ve tried dozens of pillows and continue to hunt for something better. Here is a breakdown of what’s important to me (in order of importance)

1. Cooling - I’m a hot sleeper and a pillow needs to stay cool for me to stay asleep
2. Stay comfortable - I have a lot of pillows that start comfortably but compress too much through the night to the point where I get tension headaches and my head gets numb. Not sure if that means I need a softer or firmer pillow. I usually gravitate toward soft but I don’t know if that’s the right move.
3. Loft - I generally sleep on my side but the higher loft pillows tend to have my tilting my neck too much. I also sometimes switch to my back but that’s usually when I’m struggling to get back to sleep or start getting a headache.

I’ve been using the Purple Harmony medium and it’s pretty good but lately it’s feeling like my ear is hitting the ground even after an hour.

Thanks for any advice.
