    Hi Joanne

    I changed to a memory foam pillow and find these much better than the normal pillows.

    I have no RA problems in my neck (that I know of, it seems you can't trust arthur) but was suffering with my neck and this change helped.

    There are many different types too so if you are having a good day, amuse yourself around the bed showrooms test driving pillows!

    Take Care

    Hi
    Look on Ikea website they have various height pillows for back, side or front sleepers and those with the kneck cut out a bit for comfort. I think the kneck ones are memory foam. I've used a side sleeper pillow for about a year and still find it comfy.

    Good luck in your search.

    Love Vonski
