Maybe a straighter posture, but if you don't like sleeping on your back like me then it's pretty useful having one. |

Are there any benefits of sleeping without a pillow? |

I do know that pillows allow for easier breathing. Also just the comfort factor is a biggie for me |

On your back, your neck is in it's full resting position without a pillow. |

I tend to have to use several, since I sleep on my side. Two under my head (if they weren't so flat I'd just use one), one under my hip, and one between my knees. The latter two are because I'm so bony that any uncushioned contact points tend to hurt. |

"For a long time it gave me nightmares, having to witness an injustice like that. It was a constant reminder of how unfair this world can be, I can still hear them taunting him. 'Silly Rabbit, Trix are for kids!'... How come they just couldn't give him some cereal?"
Fuck it, I've decided to go for comfort over posture. Pillow it is then. |

I don't know you, but I can't sleep without a pillow. |

Hey all. Just wanted to say hi to all my pillow fans. |

Now THAT is probably sacrificing posture for comfort. |

I actually tend to sleep on my stomach with my head to the side. Which hurts when I wake up sometimes. All other times I'm on my side. So pillows benefit me I guess. |

Hmm, I'm glad you asked this, I've been thinking about it for years lol. See, there are some nights where I just cannot sleep. Nothing seems to work, I feel tired, but I just can't seem to get there. And then just like magic, I move my head off the pillow and in seconds I'm sleeping. wtf. Other nights, I try to sleep off my pillow and I just can't get comfortable that way. I think I sleep mostly on my back, but I wake up on my side quite a bit so I actually have no idea |

Pillows just allow me to sleep more comfortably which gets me into a deeper sleep. Pillows for life <3 |

I sleep with 3 pillows, tend to put one between my knees when I'm on my side so my bones don't poke eachother x.x |

There was a great diagram I saw a while ago which went through the most common sleeping positions and the right thickness of pillow that you should use with each position, but the most I could find is this article from 'DoctorOz' here: Proper Pillow Placement for Any Sleeping Position |

Spoiler for Goals:
If there's no pillow, I'll start sleeping on my arm. That's worse I guess since I wake up with my whole arm numb. |
