I know this sounds stupid but does anyone know of any decent pillows I can get?

I had the same set for 3 years and they got a little flat, so I replaced them with the same ones from the same shop (Matalan), within 3 months they had gone flat. Thinking it was just a defect I got some more, but again these went flat fairly quickly. I then tried tescos ones which also went flat quite fast as well. Finally I bought some silent night pillows which also ended up going flat.

I have tried fluffing them up as well as washing and putting in the tumble dryer, but it doesn't help.

I think they are doing it because they are fibre rather than feather, but I have dust allergies and feather pillows make it worse for some reason.

Before I waste any more money on pillows does anyone know of any man made fibre pillows that won't collapse on me? My girlfriend has some from M&S, but they are very hard to start with and everytime I sleep on them I wake up with a neck ache.
 
haha that old gem

I went though a series of big comfy pillows that proceeded to deflate and become no better than your average biscuit

till i tryed Ikeas

Me and the missus have 4 of their firmest pillows, and years on they're still as big and firlm as when they bought them. If you need to know their exact name, ill check the label. But suffice to say, head to ikea :)
 
Yeah, as above, most hollowfibre pillows (especially the cheap ones) just aren't firm enough and do tend to collapse. Ikea seem like a reasonable bet but I know their beds seem to be incompatible with everyone else's products so watch out, just in case.

As for feather pillows, it seems that a lot of people are allergic to the (natural) dust and dander that comes as a special 'bonus' with the vast majority of feather pillows, rather than to the feathers themselves. I'm a bit of an allergy sufferer myself but I've found one company whose feather products I get on with - Northern Nights.

yeah ikea have all sorts of dodgy continental matress sizes, with bed linen to match.

Fortunately a pillow is a pillow it seems :)

Not from Ikea it isn't. My mum picked me up some pillow cases to for my bed (as I only got one with the duvet cover) and they turned out to be square, which are apparently for continental pillows, so you still have to be careful.

If you want some really good, comfortable pillows give "Relaxan Mind Foam" pillows a try. CoolMax or Aloe Vera, both the same (apart from the Aloe Vera one smells for about 10 minutes when you first open it). I've been using them for about a year now, current prices are ~£40 each it seems (quite a big drop), I like sleeping on two (but I always had two normal pillows too).

Lol :D

I actually prefer two squashed pillows. I find thick soft ones try to suffocate me in my sleep :/
