Help! Pillow advice for a bad sleeper that has a lifelong sinus problem...oh yeah and is autistic

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone might be able to help. I've always been a bad sleeper from childhood and it has followed me into adulthood. I've tried a wide range of pillows but can never find one that's comfy, and stays comfy. I should add in here that I have a lifelong sinus problem which means my head needs to be elevated to the height of two pillows in order to keep my sinuses clear. Memory foam pillows are a big no-no for sleepers with sinus problems, wedges are also not great and I find them wholly uncomfortable. I also have to sleep on my side which adds yet another problem into the nighttime fiasco. Does anyone have any advice? Also they need to be pillows that I can put in cotton pillowcases as I am super sensitive to any other fabrics. It's a bit of an enigma. Any thoughts or suggestions would be gratefully received. Cheers!

  • I have a condition of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and need to sleep with an air pump connected to a face mask which stops my soft pallet (epiglottis) from choking me while sleeping on my back. The air pump name is abbreviated as CPAP.  Perhaps such a device will solve your problem?  I can't get a good nights sleep without it.
