In this edition of Ask Happy Dan, Dan answers a question about a pillow for an individual with a bad neck.

Peter: What pillow would be best for someone who has neck and disc issues and also sleeps on their back and side?

Thank you for your questions. From what you describe I strongly suggest you get with your doctor, as your discomfort is more than just a pillow. What I am willing to tell you is that you need an adjustable pillow that will allow you to rest in whatever position is comfortable for you. Since it appears that you sleep on your back, you should find something that does not have a high crown. Beyond Down is completely adjustable and a pillow you should consider. Again, I am not a doctor, and strongly suggest you have this conversation with one. So says Happy Dan the Pillow Man!
