Memory Pillows

To my mind they are hot, I hate hot/warm pillows!

I can't sleep on memory foam it makes me sweat unfortunately.

We both love ours. Ours has a washable cover - I sometimes even remember to wash it.

I love mine.It has a protective case on it as well as the pillow case so I haven't worried too much about washing it.

Bought one from John Lewis. Cost a packet. Can’t sleep on it as it is too warm! I have a Dunlopillo one which suits me better.

There is another pillow thread on the go. I have recommended Dormeo Octaspring which contain memory foam formed into sort of 'springs'. I have also seen a different one to mine, called Octasense, advertised on TV by the same company. Mine is not at all hot and I am a hot body who has to use cooling gel mats in the bed. I believe you can even get a pillow containing a gel. Expensive but worth it for a good night's sleep.

I love mine, it's smaller than a standard pillow and suits my needs for my neck. I even take it in my suitcase on hols.

We both have Tempur pillows. Our second lot. The first were small but these are normal sized. We’ve got the ones shaped to fit your neck which we prefer although they took a bit more getting used to. You feel a lot nearer the bed! They’ve definitely helped with neck and back problems for both of us. Neither of us find them particularly warmer than ordinary ones although the Tempur mattress certainly is. I put ordinary pillow cases on which I change normally and I wash the removeable cover less often.

We recently bought a new mattress and two memory foam side sleeper pillows from Benson's. They also sell back sleeper pillows.
We weren't totally convinced that they would suit us but have slept on them for about 3 weeks and they are very comfortable.
They keep quite cool as well. Not cheap, about £59 each but so far so good.

Pardon me for asking, but what's the 'cervical' connection?
My husband gets on very well with his memory pillow from Dunelm. We have put it inside two cotton pillowcases and he doesn't find it too hot.

I ve never noticed it being warm but maybe with no heating in the bedroom it wouldn’t pick any heat up
I have not thought about washing it as i use it with a washable cover and only me
I think they re comfortable

Pardon me for asking, but what's the 'cervical' connection?
neck problems (as in cervical verterbrae)
I think you're thinking of the cervix SpringChicken!
both pertaining to 'neck' of course

I have slept on one but found it too hot, as is a memory foam mattress

lol, thanks Jalimal! Yes, I was thinking of the other end!

I bought a MF pillow at the end of last summer when one of my painful back joints were really bad.
It is quite useful as being soft it cushions the most painful part of the offending joint by taking off the pressure in a way ordinary pillows do not.

I could probably have managed with a small memory foam pad. Dunelm Mill sells them.
As I get a cricked neck with most ordinary pillows I cut an old pillow down and made the pillow case smaller with enough filling in it to suit the back of my neck. (You just keep stuffing or unstuffing it to suit your self.)
I am now tempted to try a pad of MF foam just for that.

Thanks to all of you who responded. I found some very useful information here.
