What type pf pillow should be used for TMJ

If I have a soft pillow it seems to push my jaws together and make me clench more.

Does anyone use a harder pillow, it seem as though it would free up the jaw so the teeth would not clecnh together. Any special TMJ pillows?

Any ideas?
Thank you...

I use a small semily soft decorative pillow on top of my normal pillow. I started using it 2 years ago when I had my wisdom teeth out and it works wonderfully. I've used both soft pillows and hard pillows, but this pillow is comfortably in between for me. I love this pillow and my mom will probably let me steal it when I move out.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????
