Hi every sleep deprived PDers out there!
I was just wondering if anybody has found a pillow that helps them with their aches and pains while sleeping contorted in order to alleviate the pain. Last note I borrowed my son's pillow, that he paid a small fortune for, made of shredded latex , call me stupid but I finally had a good notes rest!!! Is it a case of mind over matter or is there something to this pillow that keeps your body alignment in check? Does anybody know about it?

I just did some research on this pillow and it sounds very very comfortable.
What I think we Parki need is,comfort in every way possible. I used a sleeping pad last night and slept like a baby. No dear friend you are not crazy, the comfort I believe help you to relax so you could sleep.
I hope your son let you use his pillow or that you can get your own. I may even go out and get my one. My best to you from Eva Gabrielle

Try a memory foam pillow. I have to get up to pee but fall asleep so much more quickly.
Thank you very much! I am going to order one on line!
What's the brand name of the pillow?
The hieght of the pillow may help to keep the upper spine and neck in alignment while laying on one side or the other.
Thanks for your reply, and you are very right!
I sleep on a memory foam pillow every night otherwise I wake up with a terrible stiff neck. I still need to find something to put between my knees so my hips and knees don't hurt in the morning.
Maybe the pillow is worth the investment. A good night of sleep is completely priceless!
Same problems for me with pillows ☹️ Cannot find the right one ! Some are better than others but yet to find the perfect pillow for a Parkinson having Dystonia issues also ! I have eliminated water pillows, gel, synthetic,shredded foam, goose, and more. Still searching for the best ! Cotton feels good on cover instead of synthetic I think I am allergic to ! 🤞🏻To find a good pillow with your help
Thank you
Chris0846: I too have been searching for the "perfect" pillow and/or mattress. I posted the question 8 months ago on this site under the subject of "Sleep". I received mostly replies about mattresses which were good ideas, but I haven't pursued them yet. I have a collection of about 7 or 8 pillows & I believe I've finally found a couple that help me get a better night's sleep. I switch back & forth occasionally depending on how I feel that night. One I discovered while staying at a Hilton hotel so I wrote down the info & ordered it when I got home. Here is the info: Down Dreams Jumbo 20" X 28" (51X71 cm). I've never been particularly fond of "Down" pillows, which usually have goose feathers, but this pillow's inner chamber has 87% Duck feathers & the outer chamber has 13% down (not sure what or if the diff. between Duck & Goose). I found it on Pillows.com pillows.com/down-dreams-cla... I think Amazon took me to that site. Some that I looked at on Amazon were not the 87% Duck feathers & I wanted exactly what I had at the Hilton. The other pillow Ii found at a department store named, Kohls, it is made by Innocor. It's the one I like the best, it may be similar to the one your son has? It also is a very heavy pillow. The tag says All New Mat'l Consisting of Polyurethane Foam Pad...100% and states that the cover is 70% Polyester & 30% Rayon from Bamboo. When I first bought the pillow I thought the insides were bamboo, silly me. Anyway, those 2 pillows in addition to Satin pj's have made me rest a little better at night. Now I'll work on finding a mattress........
Thanks for the information Lagtag! When I see my son, I didn't yesterday as he's been very busy, but when I see him I'll get the website he ordered his very heavy pillow and pass it onto you. Seems like your "bamboo" pillow is the same.
