Hi LadyL,

I am fairly certain that the pillow/mattress combination is what needs to be resolved, rather than the mattress being the issue, because the discomfort is only in my neck when I wake up. In fact, Murphy’s law kicked in yesterday after I wrote this post and the mattress felt very nice on my body as I sank into sleep and when I woke up. You are correct in saying that one should feel vaguely but not specifically supported at all points - that proved to be the case.

As you are mentioning … the odds are very high that this is a pillow issue (and a sleeping position issue would be the second highest possibility).

When you have a new mattress, the gap between your head and neck and your mattress changes because you will be sinking into the mattress differently and this often indicates the need for a new pillow as well. I can take some trial and error though to find the pillow that provides you a combination of your needs (good head and neck alignment in all your sleeping positions) and also your preferences. Subjective preferences play a much more important role with a pillow than with a mattress because the pillow is so close to our face which is very sensitive to preferences of “feel”.
