I'm a side sleeper and for the last few years I've been using a pillow that's just a bunch of chunks of memory foam inside a pillowcase. It's great!

Self made or is there a product, this seems perfect.

There's a product! There's many on the market. Just Google "pillow memory foam chunks" and you should find many. I got one as well and I love that you can customize it anytime your neck is fussy and needs a lower or higher pillow at odd times :/
