I bought new pillows in January. These are the ones. Adam Home Pillows 2 Pack Hotel Quality

They are good pillows. Well, it was a pack of two and the first I’m still using but it’s good.

Every evening I get into bed, lie on my R side, close my eyes - as you do - to sleep. Every evening my R ear hears the pillow ‘creaking’. Odd.

I should be the master of sleeping on my side without moving at all. This was from years of (diagnosed) migraines where any body movement would make it more painful. I used to get into a position where I did not move, and even breathing was so shallow to not move. (A daith cured the migraines).

I could lie on my back to sleep, but I can lie there for ages on my back and sleep stays away.

I could lie on my left but again sleep does not approach.

Roll onto my right and sleep gets close, but for the creaking.

I have to push the pillow around so there is a gap under my R ear - and THEN I can sleep.

What is strange about the creaking is that I will wake around 6am for a pee, and when I get back into (or onto as it’s hot here atm) and plonk my head on the pillow, with my R ear ON the pillow, it does not creak.

Odd.
