    Okay... Fist of all, you've taught me so much and I'm loving it. 😭 I never knew all of these fancy terms. 🛌 I would love a recommendation from you - I'm mostly a back sleeper, the occasional side sleeper. I've been having such terrible (the back of my) neck pain and it's killing me. 😫 So much so that I stopped using a pillow all together and roll up a car cleaning rag that I had lying around. I find myself needing to place my palm at the back of my neck on the ball like feeling bone the can give us "nerd neck" which I do have just to support the awful pain. I purchased the Sutera pillow back in 2020, it worked at first but then began to give me more pain and HEADACHES. Same is happening with my parter. He's more a side sleeper but also back sleeper and is having the same issues as me. His shoulders are broader than mine of course and when he sleeps on his sides he gets shoulder pain too. We're a mess! lol Please, please help us with some recommendations. 🙏🏽🫂

    This video really helped me understand what a pillow sham was. Just bought a Duvet and sham from ZGallery online and thought the sham was a pillow. When I got it was I surprised. Love the shsm but now I need to check out your other video for the best pillow. Great job on the video. It really helped this knuckle head.

    Good to know the difference. I have two pillows with shams on them, three with cases and one that is missing its case. The ones with sham are actually sometimes more comfortable than the ones meant for sleeping on.

    I usually use pillows that have a sham on them as something to prop my body up if I’m lying on the floor or use them to hug or something along those lines because they are so not comfortable to sleep on but still provide bulk. We only really have them in the living room on our couches.
