I am extremely fussy about my pillows, the two I have are getting on a bit and need to be binned. I have had a look at M & S pillows, and read the reviews, most of which are non too good. Also had a look at the John Lewis ones as well. I do prefer feathers/down etc, but there are so many to chose from. Prices vary as well, from £20 upto £150. Any suggestions?

I now have a Tempura memory foam pillow and it is the best ever! I loved my last one, though it was quite firm, but this is lovely and squashy yet supportive. (I can hear DH saying "Just like you!)

morning, I note with interest your comments on your Tempura memory foam pillow, is it still fine for you, I have woken AGAIN with a ache in my neck and have decided to purchase a foam pillow but, as per usual so much choice including costs, is it beneficial to pay lots or less for these pillows in your opinion, I have always maintained that you only get what you pay for in terms of quality, quite confused as I do not have lots of 'pennies' therefore must make good choice ????????
would appreciate your comments
thanking you

Well I got my last lot from The White Company and paid quite a lot for them - they would have been feather and down and are splendid

I have not been entirely happy with my mid-range John Lewis pillows. I bought them possibly six years ago and they have gone very soft and floppy.

I am going to replace them with goose feather pillows. The farm that produces my Christmas turkey also raises geese and sells goose feather pillows, firm or soft, so I thought I would try those

I bought a Tempur mattress six years ago and love it, but it's a swine to turn over. I have to ask someone to help me when they visit. I also bought a Tempur ergonomic pillow which has a wedge along the bottom to support the neck. It's heavy and uncomfortable, so I don't use it. I prefer the firm goose feather pillows I bought from Costco, which plump up nicely and will bend to whatever shape I want them to.

had to laugh we just bought 2 new pillows, they were not that pricey £24.99 but best they had in small linen shop near us, I HATE Them. Gone back to my old ones which were not worn out, just we sleep on 2 and underneath ones seemed bit jaded, is very hard to find comfy pillows.
New ones seemed fine in shop just they so high and not right!!

Cant stand feathers as they always escape somehow or another.

Oh dear is dilemma!! OUr memory foam mattress is not entire is mixture and it is Divine, but the cover has become plucked only had since end May so they coming to inspect it on Monday.

Mattresss is pocket sprung with layers of memory foam, it is as said Divine, just rather disappointed with the look of it plucked up, we not sure if was the mattress protector also new, but interested to see what Dreams say on Monday.

I have dozens of pillows - I sleep badly - not yet found 'the one', but I have tried; feather/down, latex, memory foam etc. Still wake up each morning with a crick in my neck after tossing and turning at night. Even tried sleeping with no pillow, but that simply moves the problem from my neck to my shoulders. Think I must be a very restless sleeper. hmm

Very hard find comfy ones that are soft enough for me cant stand feathers as they come out!
Generally pricier ones best in my experience horocks good make.
