Starting in my 30's I  used to get these horrible cricks in my neck after sleeping wrong (HTF do you do it wrong?).  Anyways they would usually go away in a few days, but eventually I started getting them so bad it would last like a week.  I finally started going to the chiropractor and that helped a lot.  Instant relief, and then usually they'd like to see me a couple more times but honestly once they popped my neck it was much better.  Anyways it usually only happened once or twice a year, and then it started happening more and more frequently especially in my 40's.  About 5 years ago (maybe more but time flies) I bought this huge "wedge" pillow.  Damn thing is like maybe 2 feet wide and has about a 30 degree incline.  I just noticed that every time I would sleep "wrong" essentially what happened is my pillow would shift weirdly during the night and my neck would be in an awkward position.  Anyways it' so big it doesn't really move at night, I can shift all around it stays put.  The pains almost immediately stopped, now I very rarely have any pains at all, and if I do it's very mild.

I started back to working out after three weeks of vacay and bronchitis, and I'm amazingly sore.

We went on a walk today, nothing serious, the botanical garden and around the park, nice stroll, and I'm in pain.  These 117 year old joints ain't what they used to be.

Any link where to buy the pillow? 

Do they make it in ogre size?

I realized why @Gigem has so far not provided said link...

...because he doesn't want us to know he bought a sex pillow "for his neck" :57:

I only use the side for the head, the other half is sitting in the back of the closet somewhere.  

It helped me tremendously.

Thanks. Just ordered it. They mention it can help snoring (which is sometimes a problem) and acid reflux (also sometimes). I prefer to sleep on my back but that exacerbates snoring, which sometimes means my wife less-than-gently suggests I should roll over. So if this helps that as well, even better. 

Do you use a pillow on top of it, or just use it as your only pillow?

You just need to see how you like it.  Sometimes I use a really thin pillow, but usually nothing else.  I'm also a side sleeper, so what works for me may not work for you.

Old fellow I sorta know got on elevator with me and started complaining about how late the mail delivery is now.

"It used to be 3 PM, now we're lucky if it's by 6."
