I am experiencing some hip, shoulder, and neck pain.  Mostly, the neck pain and occassional tingling arms are the most bothersome - neck pain the most painful of the two.  I sleep on my side, but I am not sure if how I lay on my arm is normal or not.  I sort of keep my lower arm pointing straight towards my headboard, with my head resting on my shoulder and arm.  I have a Luxury Firm Orthopedic mattress from Original Mattress Factory, and it's only a few weeks old.

 

I am currently using 2.5" of Aerus 5 lb memory foam, which seems to aleviate the hip and should pain.  However, my neck is killing me!  I have read that most side sleepers need a high loft pillow, however, I don't know if that is true for side sleepers who sleep with their head on ther arm/shoulder??  Do most people lay their head on their arm too?

Should I add an inch or two of latex, ditch the memory foam, are use a combination of the two?  I orderd the 2.5" Aerus from Sams Club, so there would be no issues in returning it.  Also, I have ordered an 1" of 21ILD Celsion from Sleeplikeabear.com, but haven't received it yet.

Thanks for any help!
