Hi Betty:

Mine is one that is contoured so it can be used with

side sleepers, back sleepers, and also stomach

sleepers. One side is flat, while the other side has

contours on both sides of a little bit different

thickness, depending on your comfort. I use this side

the most, and generally use the portion that is of the

smaller contour. My daughter had the one that you

describe which is more like a regular pillow, just

memory foam, and she did not like it, and went to a

contour one like I have. My husband uses hers. I

think that my husband got the contour memory foam

pillows at JC Penny, but we got our topper at Sams. I

think that Sams does change its stock frequenly, so

keep checking. You might try Pennys if you have one

nearby.

Kathe,

My pillow from the chiropractor is contoured and one side has 2 thickness and

the other side is flat. I use the thinner part. When that pillow was new I could

like on my back, draw my legs up so that my feet were flat on the bed and then

straighten my legs. That would put a little tension on my neck that helped a

lot.

The problem I have getting an additional pillow is that they are all too thick

which raises my head too much. I have bought several and once even borrowed a

loaner from a chiropractor. Looking at the pillows I saw at Sams even though

they were regular pillows, not contoured ones, they looked like my head would

push it in enough to bring the support to my neck. I've bought so many pillows

that I can't use that I am reluctant to even try another. If I see them in Sam's

again I will look at them clos
