Pillow Shopping

[WVH1977]

We are getting ready to purchase some new pillows for our bed. I HATE pillow shopping. I have had so many different kinds of pillows and none ever seem to fit me. What are you guys/gals using? This is one area where I will spend the money if it is worth it for the right pillow. I know they are expensive like everything else but I value my sleep and how it makes my neck and back feel. Anyone else have issues finding the right pillow?

I've only spent the past 50 years searching for the right pillow. They are scarcer than hens teeth. To hard, to soft, to short, to tall. I wake up with either a stiff neck or a sore or soggy ear. If you find the perfect pillow, it will be by accident, not by asking for opinions.

My wife got new pillows a few years ago and I refuse to use them. THey're a memory foam of sort, it's annoying because it holds my head up to high, then it collapses and my head is surrounded by pillow on both sides. I only use duck down, and it has been great.

I have tried every fancy pillow there is. Memory foam, purple, my pillow, etc. They all suck. If a guy could figure out how to make a pillow like a air ride seat I think you would have the holy grail of pillows.

We get them from My Pillow, sheets too.

The 'My Overpriced Chuck of Foam Rubber' guy is flat out insane.


Last couple of pillows I got were from Big Lots ... about $15 for two as I recall.

A good pillow is like a good wife, a necessary requirement of a good night's sleep.

It can be completely flat or full of feathers depending on how you're sleeping. Sometimes I'm on my back, side, or stomach. And a different amount of feathers are comfortable for each position.

Heh.. Paid upwards of $120 for a pillow that felt really good in store. Lasted less than 2 months and wasn't all that good at home in real use anyways.. I gave up and just get Dollar General pillows now. $6 or so and work fine for 4-6 months or so. Toss and rebuy.
