I feel like I used to have a satisfactory layout for years but haven’t since found a consistently comfortable arrangement. I like to have a fairly thick pillow or two under my head to accommodate my bad shoulder, a pillow between my thighs to avoid chafed skin, and a pillow for hugging - also mostly for my shoulder.
The head ones tend to get distorted really quickly and it’s really difficult to find a good hugging pillow.
I feel so boring now. One normal pillow and one memory foam beside each other for sleeping on my side or stomach
It may debatably be boring, but at least you know you can find comfort reliably, unlike those of us with more bespoke needs.
