I am like a lot of swimers in that the coaches insistance on swimming a lot of *** pull and fly pull has led to wide shoulders. As a result, I can't find a good pillow that is level with my spine when I sleep on my side. Does anyone have a good pillow? If not, maybe I'll invent the "swimmer's pillow".
By the way, I have a contour pilow now and sleep with it and a smaller "decorative" pillow in order to get the correct spine position. And I am a total side sleeper.

I am not sure about any special pillows (I have the same problem when I sleep but I am not an especially wide shouldered person) but I was not aware that swimming *** and fly would increase the width of your shoulders enough to cause a problem. Physiologically speaking, the only increase in width would have to come from the muscle and or fat that is on the outside of your upper humerus. Good luck to you. The only solution I have found is to try to avoid sleeping my side.
