    Memory foam mattress

    What do you mean, match it to your bed? That doesn't make any sense to me. I used the one my dr prescribed after my car accident, and just put a pillow case on it.

    My cervical pillow is a little bigger, and works great if I'm on a firm bed. Our bed at home is less firm (by choice), so when I got the cervical pillow home, my head was tilted further forward when I would sleep on my back because my body would sink into the bed.

    That makes sense, I will keep it in mind. I just priced a few of these pillows, they aren't inexpensive are they? Guess this will need to wait a bit... My pillow-top mattress isn't new either, but it is pretty firm. I am a side sleeper, and the few reviews I've read so far appear to indicate that brand matters, so I've more research cut out for me. Thanks!

    I find a flatter pillow is more comfortable for me. Same for dearie. In some cases, if I am visiting somewhere and am provided with a thick pillow. I just remove the pillow and sleep without a pillow. Otherwise I end up with a neck ache.

    We like an extra firm mattress. Haven't used memory foam and see no need at this point. But a good investment in high quality mattress has been top for us. Expensive but a saver in sleep and the health of ones backs.
