Which Life Pro Tip disappointed you? (lemmy.world)

For me it was "buy high quality pillow" because you sleep for one thrid of a day etc. I needed a new pillow anyway so I came to the store and bought the best they had. And it was ... ok. Like it's a fine pillow but my sleeping haven't improved really, it's basically the same. So I was disapointed :(

So, which life pro tip disappointed you?

I have a solid memory foam pillow and it fucking sucks. It's like right in the middle of not being firm enough and not being soft enough. Maybe I'll try to find one like yours.

My solution to this is to stack a soft pillow on top of a firm pillow.

Doesn't that make your neck sore? I've used thin pillows all my life, whenever I use a pillow when travelling (hotel, someone else's house etc) it's ALWAYS to thick. I can't imagine stacking two pillows on top of each other.

Ah but if both pillows are old enough to vote it's like just having one!

[–] hedgehog@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 year ago

Nah. I’m mostly a side sleeper but even on my back, my head normally compresses the pillows enough that it’s comfortable. I occasionally wake up having tossed a pillow off to the side, but that’s rare.

Yeah, I've had a normal memory foam pillow, that's how I felt about it too. It was designed for people who sleep still on their back like a corpse.

The sredded kind seems to be soft enough where I can mash it into a shape I want, but it doesn't go flat over time. Or stab you with feathers.

That's the thing though. I do sleep on my back ..
