Spec me a pillow

httk · 17 Aug 2013 at 15:07

Need new pillows, just looked in the Argos catalogue and there's so much choice, duck vs cotton vs polyester.

Any recommendations, I'm looking to spend about 20 quid for two pillows, with a small bit of wiggle room if it's gonna change my life...

Randomface74 · 17 Aug 2013 at 16:21

I like the luxury microfibre stuff from dapw

Which one though, you reckon duck feather and down for £29.50?

i got fed up of buying normal pillows, they all go flat or lumpy after about 2 months, so i got a silentnight memory foam pillow, much better

Nope.

Sod feathers in a pillow absolutely stupid idea, go for Microfibre or Memory foam, I have tons of different pillows of an assortment.

I find the memory foam too hard to sleep with so I use a medium microfibre

You can have your microfibres rubbish, give me down any day of the week.

I am tempted by the down ones. Still haven't found anything like my old pillows, maybe after a few months they'll go flat and dense.

how about one of them pillows that have speakers in them

Boobs.

They are the only pillows you should need and WANT.

Edit: My MF pillows from Ikea are awesome.

Want, yes, currently available, no. I could get a comedy boob pillow but I doubt they're comfortable.

I've always gone for the 'Dunlopillo'
Keeps it's shape and firmness and doesn't get those empty areas you can get with feather!
I wouldn't use anything else now.

You need to go into a bed shop or similar that has the pillows on show to see what they feel like. It's all personal preference.

I got fed up with cheap pillows so ended up biting the bullet and spending a bit more on two of these

Although they were £10 cheaper when I bought them. Now I couldn't imagine using something not as good.

I love my feather and down pillows, but other people have complained that they swallow your head.

gillywibble · 19 Oct 2013 at 09:56

This is the most comfortable pillow I've ever owned.
