      Yeah… human body variation is a bitch to design for.

      Even if you have it adjustable, it’s very hard to accommodate everybody. Its usually for 5-95 percentile so even the designers know they are leaving out 10% or less of the population.

          There’s also bed firmness. A person with broad shoulders but a soft bed might need a smaller pillow than someone with smaller shoulders and a rock hard bed.

            You're right on both counts tho. It is about thickness but also how many pillows you need in the bed to reach your desired thickness.

                I tried so many pillows and then I discovered the Coop pillow. It's shredded memory foam and comes with a bag of extra filling so you can remove or add to your liking

                  How about slim pillows? I usually put two in a pillowcase. Example: https://a.co/d/drT0UwS

                      Get a pregnancy pillow, even if you aren’t pregnant, even if you are a guy. You can thank me later.

                        Yes, 2 different pillows of different firmness. Firm thick pillow for bottom. Softer medium size pillow for top.

                        Or two Goldilocks medium pillows depending on your preference.

                        2 small pillows or two large pillows doesn't work. Hotel pillows are usually excellent. So check the firmness when at a hotel to see what you like best. Often there are former or softer in the cupboard.

                                Sure, but two pillow thickness for me would mean 4 pillows in total on the bed.

                                    And then there's me, using the same ancient, flat, worn out pillow since 2007. You can only have it by prying it from my cold dead body. I fuckin love that thing, I've tried many pillows since then but I always go back to my good old faithful.

                                        Is it yellow? I bet it's yellow.

                                        No judgement, though. I get the comfort pillow. I had one of those before I gave the stupid expensive free pillow my dad got from the mattress store a solid try.

                                          Nah, it's more of a grey-ish when it used to be white. Only better pillow I've ever used is one of those fancy ones with memory foam and cooling gel on the top that my ex had. That was an amazing pillow.

                                          I have a feather pillow, a regular thick pillow that you would find in most hotels, and a body pillow but I always go back to my ancient thin pillow for my head. Everything else gives me a sore neck and I can't stomach paying 150+ CAD for a fancy pillow when my old faithful works just fine to this day.

                                          The rest of my pillows are hugging pillows, and that's the best use I've found for thicker pillows.
