spec me a pillow

craptakular · 22 Apr 2012 at 17:24

I'm not getting much sleep due to my rubbish pillow. Can anyone recommend me a good pillow that is fairly firm and of high quality?

The Halk · 22 Apr 2012 at 17:26

I got these. You can put them through the washing machine.

craptakular · 22 Apr 2012 at 17:27

hhmm thanks but I think I need something medium to hard.

The Halk · 22 Apr 2012 at 17:30

They're not very firm, soft to medium I'd say.

Have a look at the John Lewis selection of pillows.

I am interested in getting some good quality pillows too, and a quilt. Want something that lasts and is comfy!

I use two pillows (as do most I suppose), a firm one on the bottom and a soft on top.

The Halk · 22 Apr 2012 at 17:51

5UB, the ones I recommended will last. As well as drooling like a St Bernard I also am a bit OTT when it comes to being clean, so I wanted something that I can stick in the washing machine. I got a duvet of the same stuff too, and it's been through the wash a few times.

Previously I'd been buying pillows and throwing them out after a couple of months.

That pillow looks good, have you got the link for your quilt?

The Halk · 22 Apr 2012 at 17:58

This one.

fiveub · 22 Apr 2012 at 18:01

Cool, will get the double version of that one. And a set of the pillows. Thanks.

Can't beat a good night's sleep

I recommend a generous pair of breasts.

I don't sleep well when alone in bed but when resting against my girlfriends epic boobs I sleep like a baby

You wake up every couple of hours screaming, and you **** yourself?

I have always had various northern nights ones. http://search.qvcuk.com/QVCUK/Search.ff?query=pillows&cm_re=PAGE-_-SEARCH-_-SEARCH&cm_scid=SEARCH

Though it seems like the quality has got worse over the years. You can try them out for 30 days though and send back if you don't like anyway (obviously got to pay for postage).

Not the cheapest of bedding but the duvet sets are so soft

fiveub · 24 Apr 2012 at 07:27

They are arriving today.

I do this too, bottom one give substance and support and the top one adds comfort

John Lewis pretty good. Claim to be washable and dryable but I don't really want the kitchen stinking of burnt duck feather. Once they get too soft/drooled, chuck and buy some new ones!

The misses and I both use Tempur memory foam pillows. They are firm but I find very comfortable to sleep on. They are quite pricey but are very good pillows. Go into a shop like dreams and try the pillows they have in store and see what you like!
