Are you herinated in your spine? The wedge is a bit stiff, but it keeps my neck straight. I think the water pillow soundslike a good idea to try. There is also memory foam with various shapes, to contour your neck to it. Hollows in the middle and so forth. There are some speciality magazinesout there who sell these specialized pillows.I have never seen those pillows like in BedBath and Beyond. Only in the magazines. I sure hope those who have pillow trouble can find some comfort. There is nothing worse than your neck and head hurting while you are trying to sleep. I hope you find something for that good nights sleep. ginnie I am fused C3-7
