Waking Up With Acne On Sides Of Face Because (I Think?) Of Pillow

My skin is pretty sensitive, but if I keep it clean, normally I don't get *too* many breakouts.

I've noticed a trend though. I get most acne on the sides of my face (both of them) which makes sense because those are the sides I sleep on.

I have washed my pillowcase but pimples still appear. I'm almost certain the pillow must be the problem...

Is there anything I can do besides continually washing my pillowcase? I also wash my skin before I go to bed. I just wish there were a protective barrier between my face and the pillow!!!

Also, I can't sleep on my back. I've tried, but in my sleep I turn over to my side.

Although I wouldn't assume it is the pillowcase (it rarely is), have you checked what it is made out of? I have never had acne from pillowcases, but I do find that sometimes synthetic fabrics irritate my skin, so I opt for cotton pillowcases which seems to help me avoid this.
