To sleep with a good pillow because the pillow gives you support that you need on your back and neck. Without a pillow you would have problems...There are good pillows and bad pillows. A good pillow, essential to long-term health, gives you comfort and automatically puts you in a healthy sleep posture. Neck and back problems are worsened by improper sleeping habits and bad or worn-out pillows. Follow the points below and your worries will be gone...
Sleeping on your stomach or with your head elevated can give you aches and pains. To give your body the proper rest and to ensure the health of your neck, sleep only in two positions: 1) on your side and 2) on your back. Both these positions keep your cervical spine in natural alignment and prevent misalignment of the neck. You will prevent neck aches, backaches, pinched nerves, and general health problems caused by wear on your vertebrate and spinal column.
Good Luck!!!

I had a lot of neck pain a few months ago but over Christmas I got a memory foam pillow which is great. I don't have as much neck pain. I'd like to get a memory foam mattress as well! I have heard that sleeping without a pillow is good for your posture but I can't confirm that it's a fact. I feel much better using the memory foam pillow than my old soft pillow which gave me no support. Hope this helps!

That depends; if your pillow is ancient harboring millions and millions of dust mites, then I'd say it's healthier to sleep without it.
For comfort sake, I would say a good, clean pillow that is not to lofty is a good bet.
I wash my pillow approximately every 6 months, have a dust mite cover that I wash weekly and on top of that the pillow case, I wash the sheets weekly too.

Those pillows are really good for your skeleton .
Regular ones may just make you awake with a sore neck .

I'd say whichever is the most comfortable. I don't think it really matters as long as you don't have neck or back pain.
