Shredded latex pillow seems to fulfill my needs as a side sleeper. I’ve only transitioned to shredded latex the past 2 months but I don’t see myself going back to poly fill and def no memory foam.

I would google shredded latex pillow and go with the one that you can afford. My budget was $50, otherwise I may have gotten the Ferrari versions of shredded latex pillows.

I like that I can shape it to the level of support I need and it holds that shape well into the night and morning. They sleep cool and don’t hold heat (looking at you devil memory foam), which was a must for me as I enter peri-menopause.

Try a few brands out with guarantees, esp if you’re restricted with budget.

Edit: here’s a good article with reviews
