Decent pillows!

In the end, I bit the bullet and purchased Hungarian goose firm pillows from John Lewis. Not cheap: I paid £75 for one about five years ago. Worth every penny.

Bamboo pillows by Panda. I bought mine a year ago and they are far and away the best pillows I ever had. I miss them when I'm away!
Not cheap but worth every penny. And they're good for the planet and for asthmatics! Win win!

I change my pillows quite often and find Marks and Spencer or John Lewis dependable. They both have a range to suit different requirements.

John Lewis here as well. Expensive ish but worth it!

Snap, so do I. I think it’s a very individual choice. DH likes a memory foam type. I prefer feather and down.
Until recently I used two, then I also got a neck ache which has improved by lying flatter only using one.

Sorry to tag on but does anyone have experience of memory foam pillows? Would they help?

When I bought a Dormeo Octaspring mattress topper, it came with a free pillow which has been the most comfortable ever. I am a hot body and it doesn't make me at all warm. I used to have a sore neck and tender ears from previous pillows, but not with this one. It is as heavy as a brick but is so comfortable!

Have a look at Soak & Sleep. They have fabulous bedding and I think I saw they have a sale on at the moment.

We've had these pillows from Woolroom for many years now.
You can unzip the quilted cover and fluff up the little balls of wool inside if they become a bit flat.

There's usually a discount code somewhere if you look for one.

Just found this offer on Amazon!

Hungarian Goose Down from online store. I have several, they last for years. I like square ones.

Thanks everyone
I will look through all the recommendations.

Organic buckwheat pillows are wonderful. You can manipulate them as much as you like to make them comfortable and they never make you head feel hot! They last for years, too.

I'm not on commission!

We have Dunlopillo latex ones, never go out of shape, very comfortable and allergy free, they go with us when we stay with relatives!

B9exchange I take my inflatable bed, pillows and duvet when we go to visit a certain relative!
The bed we're allocated is tiny but my inflatable one fits in the room, so we both sleep comfortably 🛌🛏️

Another John Lewis fan here.

But pillows are very personal aren't they? I like to sink into my pillow, so goose and down are my choice. Anything else and I feel like my head is bouncing up and down!

I saw those Hungarian goose down pillows today in John Lewis. They cost £90 each so I doubt I'll be getting them.

My pillows get grubby and discoloured. How do you clean the down ones?

V3ra yes, we have been known to stash a fold up bed in the car as well, plus bedding, for certain houses!

Dunlopillo Super Comfort latex pillows are the best I’ve ever had and I was heartbroken when I finally ruined my last very old one in the washing machine. Now branded Relyon, they are around £90 each and I’ll never be able to justify the cost of another. I really hate down or feather pillows as they’re so uneven and sink, synthetic fillings are horrid (I have Habitat synthetic ones now), and any other latex pillows seem to smell so strongly it keeps me awake feeling sick. I like to use a single, thick, firm, cool pillow.

I bought from Soak & sleep after seeing it recommended here last year. Most happy with my pillow purchase which was pretty much half price (for a set of four) last year.

Glad it's not just me 🤣

When we had feather/down pillows I used to put them through the washing machine, and fluff them up again in the tumble dryer.

I also now use two pillow cases on each pillow, a plain brushed cotton one and the normal one. I change both of them every time I change the beds, that seems to help keep the pillow itself clean.

Since staying at a golf/bowls complex in Dorset and both of us having a good nights sleep we asked where they bought their pillows from, they advised Mitre Linen, we bought amd are very satisfied with what we got and are still using 5 years on,
They are not expensive and extremely good quality

I am on my second lot of Dunlopillow latex which are wonderful. However, I feel mine will need replaced soon, and I’m not sure they still make them.

I'd just like to buy some that will wash without bunching up. I can't have wool or feather as I'm allergic to both and have dust allergy. Anyone know of any synthetic ones that actually keep their shape when washed?
