Hot dog industry computing least common multiple tolerated by consumers to ensure you always have a hot dog or a bun left over.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

Jokes on them. I like to eat buns raw

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

Would you say that you raw-dog the buns?

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

No, didn't you listen? They like to no-dog the buns...

Yeah… human body variation is a bitch to design for.

Even if you have it adjustable, it’s very hard to accommodate everybody. Its usually for 5-95 percentile so even the designers know they are leaving out 10% or less of the population.

There’s also bed firmness. A person with broad shoulders but a soft bed might need a smaller pillow than someone with smaller shoulders and a rock hard bed.

And then there's me, using the same ancient, flat, worn out pillow since 2007. You can only have it by prying it from my cold dead body. I fuckin love that thing, I've tried many pillows since then but I always go back to my good old faithful.

Is it yellow? I bet it's yellow.

No judgement, though. I get the comfort pillow. I had one of those before I gave the stupid expensive free pillow my dad got from the mattress store a solid try.

Nah, it's more of a grey-ish when it used to be white. Only better pillow I've ever used is one of those fancy ones with memory foam and cooling gel on the top that my ex had. That was an amazing pillow.

I have a feather pillow, a regular thick pillow that you would find in most hotels, and a body pillow but I always go back to my ancient thin pillow for my head. Everything else gives me a sore neck and I can't stomach paying 150+ CAD for a fancy pillow when my old faithful works just fine to this day.

The rest of my pillows are hugging pillows, and that's the best use I've found for thicker pillows.

Get a pregnancy pillow, even if you aren’t pregnant, even if you are a guy. You can thank me later.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Ohhhh, they mean like, thickness. My dumbass was thinking total pillows for the bed.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

You're right on both counts tho. It is about thickness but also how many pillows you need in the bed to reach your desired thickness.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Sure, but two pillow thickness for me would mean 4 pillows in total on the bed.

Hey! Mom said it was my turn to post it this time!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Hey ! Unrelated to the post, but thank you for informing me about tags on voyager with one of your posts

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Okay this feature is awesome. Thanks to both of you for spreading awareness.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

The tag must spread !

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Thanks mate this put a genuine smile on my face

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Is there a solution to this? It's been bothering me more recently since my wife bought me a nice pillow

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago

get those pillows that have a bunch of memory foam bits! i love our bamboo pillows since you can take out however much foam you want, and if you take too much out you can just add more fluff back in

100% recommend, it easily solved my pillow issues

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

I tried so many pillows and then I discovered the Coop pillow. It's shredded memory foam and comes with a bag of extra filling so you can remove or add to your liking

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Absolutely love the COOP pillow too!

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Yes, 2 different pillows of different firmness. Firm thick pillow for bottom. Softer medium size pillow for top.

Or two Goldilocks medium pillows depending on your preference.

2 small pillows or two large pillows doesn't work. Hotel pillows are usually excellent. So check the firmness when at a hotel to see what you like best. Often there are former or softer in the cupboard.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Find the oldest, flattest pillow you have. Fold it in half.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Order 2 and remove some filling from each, been doing it for years now.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

How is that different than a pillow that already comes pre-built with less stuffing in it?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

How about slim pillows? I usually put two in a pillowcase. Example: https://a.co/d/drT0UwS

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

What? Two is perfect

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Best pillow Ive used was full of like uncooked rice or ball bearings or something. It wasnt very soft, but you could make it conform to the back of your head perfectly.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

A buckwheat pillow, perhaps? They're neat!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Idk, it was in a cheap hotel in Osaka or Nagoya whose walls were yellow from smoke and had barely been remodeled since the 80s.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Sounds like the Sobokawa Pillow.

Those infomercials ran all the time back in the day.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I dont think so, the material in this pillow was physically hard

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Magic solution for me? Throw pillows. Meaning like standard decorative pillows you toss onto the side of a sofa. They're soooo much more comfy and ergonomic for me

EDIT

These are the general kind i mean

He can't keep getting away with it

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

I use a thick pillow to hug and a folded blanket for my head. The blanket’s thickness can be customized to fit. The real problem is in hotels were both pillows are usually huge, so it’s literally a pain in the neck.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I don't know what planet you're living on, but I like 3 pillows.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Sounds like OP is cheaping out on pillows.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I use a down pillow and if I fluff it once before bedding down, it’s perfect.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I dealt with this for years, then I developed GERD and had to get a wedge pillow to angle myself up. That wedge pillow with a medium firmness regular pillow is perfect.
