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.

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

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!

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

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!

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

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.

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

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!

Had a quick skim through and can’t find any posts recently regarding pillows although I feel sure it must have been asked before.
I need to invest in some decent pillows as I am fed up with them sagging in the middle, the fillings ending up in one place despite shaking and generally being uncomfortable. Myself and DP have both had bad necks recently and I’m sure it’s due to the horrid pillows.
I have always bought mid price range thinking they would suffice.
Whilst I don’t want to pay ridiculous prices, I am happy to pay a bit more than I previously have.

Please help! What are your best buys?
Thanks
