I am having trouble getting asleep (without a pillow) and pain in my upper
back the next morning. No effect on my T, but you cannot tell after a couple
of days.

I read in a booklet of (near) chiropractic doctors that they advize a latex
pillow, which supports the head and the neck best.
A normal pillow with feathers gives too little support.

The spine and the neck should be in one line, when you are on your side in
bed and that makes sense to me.

Anyone else has any experience in this matter?

My whole neck and body ache if I sleep with no pillow.

I have a solid latex mattress and pillow.  They're so wonderful, it makes it
hard to travel and get comfortable in beds away from home.  I take my latex
pillow everywhere I travel; can't spend a night away from it.  It feels soft
and cushy, but is completely supportive.

Try to have the whole bed for yourself when you do away with the
pillow.  Sleeping without the pillow means you sleep like babies.
That is to say, you sometimes sleep on your tommy, with one side of
your face pressed down by the weight of your body, and you try to
balance your body position using one thigh placed perpundicular to
your body. When one side is tired, you move to the other side. Recall
the motions performed on you by your chiropractor?  That is how they
stretch your spine and the neck.  Your body is performing its own
chiropractic throughout the entire night when you are asleep without
your realizing.
