I use to wake up with headache every morning and my neck always hurt. One day my brother had a small contour pillow he bought while in Djibouti I stole it. Thought I would have a hard time getting use to it but it only took 1 night . Slept for the first time ever through the night and no headache in the morning. Trouble was can't find another like it. LOL I have a contour pillow but it just isn't the same. But still no headaches and that makes me happy. Good luck with find that "perfect" pillow.
