Okay if you wake up with terrible neck and upper back pain I am going out on a limb and recommending a pillow that might help.

Downsides: it's expensive and only on sale in Australia via the Evil Empire.

Upsides:

I've had mine in daily use for six years and it's only just now beginning to lose a bit of height.

It is memory foam and very gently squishy so it accommodates your head weight and neck without feeling like you're sleeping on a phone book.

It's split into three layers so you can take one out if you're petite.

It's a cervical pillow so it's curved with one side about an inch higher than the other.

Experience of use: I use mine with a hybrid spring-and-memory-foam mattress. The mattress supports my hips while the pillow squishes enough to let my head and neck relax. This combination has more or less ended the pattern of crippling tension headaches I used to wake up with 1-2 mornings per week. So I am proselytising the pillow.
