I use a soft pillow that I can bunch up around the sides of my head. I sleep with my right cheek against this bunched up pillow. I have no head lift with my pillow. It helps to have a mattress what is comfy on your back. Most neck support pillows have too much neck lift in my experience.

The most important part is to not have too much head lift. This puts strain on C-1 and C-2.
