Needing a new pillow - I’m a side sleeper, so I like a fair amount of support but also not super firm, if that makes sense? I like to push the edge so it’s not creasing my smile lines at night. Preference for something that doesn’t have a smell when new.
Anyone recently gotten new pillows and love them??

I did the pillow quiz with Pluto Pillow and it actually worked for me. I had tried multiple pillows before (also side sleeper) and had horrible neck pain before that finally went away.
I also really like my Pluto pillow. I was pretty skeptical that the quiz would work, but I’m very pleased with the result. I use it with a silk pillowcase to prevent damage to my skin and hair.
I’m a side sleeper and I have a Tempurpedic memory foam pillow from Costco. It’s not the contoured type, just a regular shaped pillow. I love it, but I’m on my second one because after about 2 years it stopped being supportive enough and I started getting neck/shoulder pain. Apparently you are supposed to replace pillows a lot more frequently than I was as they lose support over time.

I've been dealing with neck pain for a while, so I tried out several different pillows trying to find relief. None of them has been perfect though. I was using a cervical neck pillow for a while (it has a hole in the middle and like wings where you are supposed to put your arms) and I think that one would be best for back sleepers. I'm mostly a side sleeper, and I didn't like my arms where they were supposed to be, so I still put one totally under the pillow.
Lately I've been alternating between my purple pillow (had to get the tall one to have enough support) and my cushion lab pillow. I like them both, but it just seems like after a while I need a change.
I am also a side sleeper and tried out a bunch. What's working well for me right now are these two. I was constantly shoving my should up into my pillow. This one has a cut out for my shoulder that lets me feel surrounded by the pillow without deforming it. So far so good! I was having a lot of neck/back pain, but this combo is preventing that.
