New Pillow

koolpc · 19 Jul 2018 at 08:38

I am looking for a new pillow. I have always used feather ones.

I like it to be comfortable and not hot.

Recently bought a new feather one but it stinks of 'foul'. I have washed it a few times and thoroughly tumble dried it yet it still smells of 'foul'. Not as strong as when purchased.

What do you chaps use / recommend? Ta

I use these - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Makimoo-MP...&qid=1531986147&sr=8-3&keywords=bamboo+pillow

They are awesome

We use water pillows! Fantastic as you can vary the amount of water to suit the hardness you want.

Water pillows lol, think they would make me sea sick

, can you not hear the water moving around, when you move your head?

I like these, really soft and comfy, and don't make my head too hot.

You just need to remove the air every 6 months. No air = no sound of the water...

Go for a firm pillow some of the ones with air core hold firmness, bought one from aldi and very good

What are they like firmness wise? Supple or not?

I like something in between firm (rock hard) and soft with a bias to firm.

I use a memory foam pillow which are nice and comfy and not too hot

i buy anti allergy ones from M&S. Not even as expensive as M&S sounds either.

buying natural stuff IMO is a complete waste of money. All this goose down, etc. You are literally throwing money away.

I've got this alongside my water pillow. I'll +1 it for the comfort, however I only use it in winter, as any other time of year it's too hot, which is when I use my water pillow.

Never had an issue with it being too hot, but I do sleep with a fan on during summer months.

We use these pocket sprung pillows. I have problems with my neck and with normal pillows I wasn't sleeping well due to pain and kept getting a sore ear from lying on my right side all night. We got these last month and no more sore ear and it's easier on my neck so I sleep much better. They are so comfy and are around medium firm. You only need one pillow per person as they are the perfect height. I will never go back to normal pillows.

They are firm, but squashy. I replaced some really expensive down pillows with them as I just got completely fed up having to puff the down ones every ******** day

Any foam or down pillow I've had would make me sweat and always be a bit too soft with little in the way of support. Been using a buckwheat husk filled pillow for about the last 8-9 months and it's the best money I've ever spent, cool and great support, won't ever have anything else now I've had this.

I have some soak&sleep pillows, a hard one and a soft one.

Both awesome.

Why I put up with crap pillows till now is stupid.

Maybe i should get a potato bag and fill it with bricks?
