I never realized Jane had such a altruistic nature about her. I always had Jane pegged as a cold, selfish, rather wealthy socialite who deposited slugs into a blind beggar's cup.
The things you learn on A2K.
I think IKEA had a campaign like that once. That's where
I buy the pillows too - cheap and good.

It doesn't matter gustav, I don't need to impress anyone
Boom-
take a hand towel, or regular shower size towel and roll it up inside your pillow case.
Use that for a night or too and see if the little bit of lift helps your neck.
try positioning it just below your ear and see what happens?
Cool idea shewolf! Thank you.
i have a down pillow that I wad up and sleep on in various positions at night. On my side, I use half of the pillow. On my back, I wad it up so it cradles my head. On my stomach, just the corner of the pillow is graced with the touch of my face. I love my pillow and will be buying future pillows from the same place.
I bought one of those memory foam pillows not too too long ago.
bad move
it made a bad neck worse.
So, I gave it to hubby and resorted back to my feather pillow.
After my neck stayed kinked, I tried the ' towel' trick and .. it really kicks ass !
I can move it around easy, NOT use it if I choose, roll it tighter if need be .. and didnt have to waste another 20 bucks or so on a new pillow.
I am a belly sleeper most of the time though.
I sleep, flat on my belly with the palms of my hands against my thighs between them and the mattress.
( yeah, i sleep on my arms. hehe )
I think the only time i use my pillow is when i am on my side.
The random diffrence in size ( thanks to the towel ) has helped relieve alot of neck and back stress.
I use two king-size pillows and at least one neck roll to keep my neck from cricking up any further.
The neck rolls <I've got about 4 differently-sized ones> perform the same function as the rolled up towels.
I'm another pillow-thrower-outer. Or, pillow recycler. About 6 months on my bed <with occasional washing during that time>, then a serious wash - and they go to the guest pillow stack for a while. Then they go to the doggie beds for a little while. If they're still fluffy after 3 - 6 months in doggie bed rotation <which they usually are>, they're washed again and get donated somewhere. Sometimes Goodwill, sometimes a vet clinic.
ohh - feather and down pillows and duvets - and down jackets - are eminently machine-washable and dryable.
Well then.
I will try giving ROFP a nice laundering!
Given ROFP's age, I'd start the process with a spin in the dryer - on fluff, with a tennis ball or two as company. Gotta floooooofff your pillow up to allow cleaning <assuming the cover is in good condition - if you're not sure, put ROFP inside a button-down pillowcase>
Then into the washing machine, on gentle, with one or two smallish towels to keep things from getting unbalanced.

The first time that happened to me I wasn't sure what to do. Here the washer is practically rocking back and forth with this awful thudding...it had to be funny to see my face.
