It’s amazing how different people’s pillow preferences are. Absent some kind of medical condition, you’d think the majority of people would like the same thing. But not at all.

I need a very soft, almost completely flat pillow. In fact, if I’m stuck with a thick pillow that won’t squish, I’d prefer to sleep with no pillow at all - I don’t mind. A folded towel that gives just a tiny bit of lift will do. A pillow with body makes me feel like my head is being shoved out of alignment.
