Pillows

I swear by my memory foam pillow! You think it's going to feel like a brick but it is so comfortable.

memory foam ...pillows/mattress toppers ... do they retain heat/moisture when it is hot?
I need to replace my pillows ...and can't use feathers/down due to allergies ...so had been wondering about memory foam, but concerned about heat retention?

I always loved a soft malleable pillow until I tried an Ikea ergonomic memory foam type pillow, and now wouldn't change it for the world. My neck is no longer uncomfortable in the morning and I am sleeping so much better. Never thought I would change but am a real born again ergonomic pillow convert!!!

The pillow I use when I'm lying on my back is feather-filled so that my head can sink into it. In effect, it's very shallow when my head is on it. The pillow I use when I'm lying on my side is filled with wool and is firmer so that my spine stays straight at the neck. The wool is rolled (by machine) into very small balls and because it's easy to handle and the pillow has a zip, you can adjust the filling to your exact requirements.

Shysal, I love latex pillows too. I even put mine in my suitcase and take it with me when I visit my children. I can't sleep without it, they really do support my neck.

Anybody using a Chillow? I'd be interested to hear what they think about it?

I have not tried memory foam in pillows, but in my mattress topper it is wonderful! I used to wake early with sore hips, and could never lie in because it was too uncomfortable on my medium support mattress. Not that I lie in these days either, but I have a lovely layer to sink into without losing the support, which is bliss!

Are the memory foam pillows quite hard? I do rather like something soft, and not really too firm.

I use Dunlopillo latex pillows. They always retain their shape and never need plumping..Good neck support too.

I love my memory foam pillow from John Lewis - have had it for some time now and still good. It was £30 and got rid of my morning neck ache

Hi Hattie.....my lovely feather pillow came from Ikea. I bought it because they have different amounts of filling to choose from and I like a very fluffy but supportive pillow. I've had it a couple of years now and it is still like new. Can't remember how much I paid but it wasn't expensive for a feather pillow. Hope you find what you're looking for....
