I've always slept on very flat pillows and can never get used to pillows that push my head up. Unfortunately I can never find flat pillows comfortable enough to sleep on. I'm guessing I might be in a minority here since most places seem to sell plush pillows. I've been sleeping on my current pillow forever (It's like a cheap joe boxer one lol) and want to get a new one.

I bought this pillow but it was still too thick.

Anyone else prefer a flat pillow or can give a recommendation?

 

[MidnightCowboy]

Absolutely. I hate pillows that make me crane my neck. It needs to be flat or loose enough to recede under the weight of my head.

I've also never liked an over abundance of pillows. I just need one. Any more than that is overwhelming.

 

[Quonny]

Flat pillows for the bed, fluffy thick ones for the couch naps.

 

[shoreu]

1 flat one fluff flat on top of fluff best sleep ever

 

[Fat4all]

I have a couple of flat pillows and i remove/add layers until I'm comfy

[co1onel]

[Reverend Funk]

[jelly]

I hate honestly don't know what I like in a pillow except not hard. So hard to find just the right one.

 

[Username1198]

Yes thin pillow for lyfe!

I developed bad back/neck pain from sleeping on two pillows, switched to one pillow and now the pain is gone.

Someone should sell fill-you-own-pillow diy sets.

 

[Octavianus]

I prefer no pillow over a fluffy pillow.

 

[strafer]

[Alpha Centauri]

Memory Foam pillows master race.

 

[Alcoremortis]

I got the bamboo memory foam pillow a few years ago and it's definitely the best pillow I've ever had.

I like hard, thin pillows that won't smother me while I sleep.

I see you are part of the ultrawide pillow masterrace. Regular pillows aren't wide enough and if you have two, well that won't do at all, you're left with a gap in the middle.

 

[MikeDip]

You people are all doing it wrong. You aren't supposed to sleep on the middle of the pillow. You should be sleeping between two pillows. Then you can use both edges to overlap and get your preferred adjustable height

 

[Duxxy3]

For sleeping? Absolutely. Give me a single flat pillow and I'm all set. Doesn't really need to be soft. Just something between my head and my hand.

 

[Apt101]

I've fallen in love with memory foam pillows. It can be whatever shape I need it be at the time.

But I grew up with flat pillows because I was poor and all of our pillows were flat, beaten-down globs of material. So sometimes I shape my pillows into reasonable facsimiles of such.

 

[Saganator]

All about the flat pillows. Can't stand the fat fluffy ones, they hurt my neck. I don't know how people do it.

I think it's more of an issue that you can't relax your neck muscles rather than a comfortable bag of feathers/polyfoam

 

[ShowDog]

I travel with my flat pillow if I can, otherwise I end up stuffing a hotel towel into a pillowcase to create a shitty flat pillow. I can't stand fluffy hotel pillows.

 

[Quirah]

Yup, this is why I hate sleepovers or hotels. I really can't sleep at every pillow. It needs to be flat and a bit hard. If it's too fluffy I really can't sleep at it.

 

[Yaboosh]

Yes, all the way. My wife uses like three pillows and it seems like the most uncomfortable thing.

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

Yes. It's funny b/c my fiance prefers the exact opposite. So at my place the pillows on my side are as flat as can be, but on her side they are huge. At her place she must keep a thousand pillows on the bed so I just use the flattest one.

 

[ShadowElliot]

I'm only used to one pillow out of every pillow I've used, and that's my flat pillow.

Without it, my neck would hurt in the morning!

 

[TissueBox]

All the pillows!! Pillow pizza tiiime!

 

[HammerFace]

I used to only be able to sleep on an incredibly flat pillow but for the past 4 months or so I have only been able to sleep on a thick as hell memory foam pillow. Oh and what I can't sleep without though is a pillow that I cuddle/hold, I don't know why but I feel so awkward without this pillow if I'm sleeping alone.

 

[Kater]

I will probably get a fluffy one soon. Really don't enjoy the flat one I'm using right now.

 

[Zepp Twofist]

Yes. I have a huge pillow for reading in bed, and then a flat memory foam pillow for sleeping.

 

[Jokergrin]

I prefer to sleep with no pillow

People think I'm weird

 

[Levyne]

I use a memory foam pillow and a down pillow, depending on the night. Sometimes the down is all I need but sometimes I need something a lot firmer.

 

[Log4Girlz]

Same

 

[JustenP88]

Bonus if its cold.

This is all I want in life. The first time I heard Stuart Scott say "cool as the other side of the pillow" I flipped mine over and it blew my mind/changed my life.

 

[vern]

Yes, but I fold it in half. I like it flat but with a little pressure pushing up into me.

 

[norog]

Fold bath towel in half, then in thirds. Stick inside a pillowcase. Perfection.
