Get a new pillow. Never skimp on the pillows dog.
Get a high one and a low one. When one isn't doing it for you anymore, switch. It will CHANGE your LIFE
Seconding this! I sometimes get headaches that last the entire day just from twisting my neck wrong during sleep, I've been trying lower pillows and the headaches are less frequent now. I also need to learn to sleep on my back. I've been a belly sleeper for so long and it's the reason why I sometimes twist my neck like that.
Tip: Sometimes it helps to lie on your back on the floor for a bit. No pillow, no mattress, maybe just a thin blanket underneath. It sorta resets your muscles and bones. At least that's what helps me anyway.
I remember when I was in Japan my bed was really flat and kinda hard, and I only had a plushie to use as a pillow... and it was the best week of sleep I ever had
Oh hell yeah, Japanese futons are amazing. I sleep on a loft bed so I can't get one right now because good quality futons are quite heavy compared to foam mattresses and I don't want to risk overburdening the bed, but I'd love to get a futon in the future. I was thinking about maybe stacking two on top of each other on some palettes and making it a couch in the day and then a bed at night. The only thing you have to be careful about with futons is airing the mattress enough. Since futons are usually made of natural materials, moisture means mold and that could be the death of the mattress, so you have to flip it often.
