RE: What (sleeping) pillow do you like and why?
I have slept with my new buckwheat "bucky" pillow. I have taken out more of the hulls a few times . They expect you to remove some of the hulls and save them, in case you need to add them back later. It is an interesting pillow, and I will continue trying it at times. It is firm, but you can shape it, hollow out a space for head , ears, mask.
So far my favorite sleeping pillow is "My Pillow". I removed a large amount of the shredded foam that it is stuffed with. It can be washed and dried in our home clothes washer and dryer (sometimes an advantage.) Pillows are always too stuffed for me, I need thinner pillows.
This has been an interesting thread. I have enjoyed reading all the posts. Thank you.
RE: What (sleeping) pillow do you like and why?
I just re-read this thread. I bought a buckwheat pillow previously, and a My Pillow previously. I had to take out lots of stuffing from both of them. I like them both. actually, I like them mixed together. The directions with my buckwheat pillow said do not wash it. So my hybrid pillow can't be washed, but I do like it, and I still have stuffing left over from both of them, so I can continue to experiment. When I bought the Bucky pillow from Vermont Country Store, I also bought a couple extra pillowcases, perfectly sized for the pillow.

I'm on the other side of the spectrum.
I use a goose down pillow. And love it. It easily conforms to whatever shape I need, whenever and wherever I need it, with little effort. I've always liked goose down pillows before PAP. And after experimenting with several other types of pillows (bamboo, memory foam to name a couple) while on PAP therapy, I have returned to my goose down pillow and don't know why I ever tried anything else.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the buckwheat pillow! It's great that you're able to adjust it to your liking.

I hated buckwheat plow. Too hard. Also dislike down pillows, too fluffy and collapses too easily.
My fav is cheap Target pillow that is firm fill.

Ice cube from pillow Cube. I have a bucket and have used it for years, but I recently switched to left side sleeping and it was a little too hard. The cube work well. It supports my head and neck and mi p30i nasal pillow and dreamware full face both work fine with it.
