Sometimes your neck wants soft support, sometimes it wants firm support. here is a pillow that offers both levels and something in between.

If I am a side sleeper and want to sleep on the traction side, do i sleep in the "V" or on the wings of the v traction side?

 🌟 Pillow is for the birds Piece of junk, did not help my C5-C6 issue in the least. It is terribly uncomfortable, and only allows for one sleep position (on your back). A pillow made of bricks would be softer and more comfortable. I tried it for several nights, as the insert suggested if it wasn't comfortable, but the most I could stay in it was an hour. Take my advice and go to a pain physician instead, the deductible is cheaper than the pillow and you will be far better off. - LiFirma\
