I have several pillows by brightr. Some are solid memory foam and some are “chips”. They stay nice and plumped and the loose fill ones are adjustable as you can add and remove some of the fill.
I hope you find something that suits you. It’s really important for a good night’s sleep!

I discovered Mitre pillows when I was on holiday. They sell to hotels but will also sell to private individuals. I have one of their Ultraloft pillows, which stays nice and plump, with a thin, soft pillow on top. They’re not expensive. Hope you start getting a good nights sleep soon.

Look on Amazon, at pillows by Adams, both cheap to buy and like sleeping on a cloud and they keep their shape too.

I recommend bamboo pillows. I bought one by Panda on-line and although not cheap it is by far the best pillow I ever had, especially as I suffer from allergies.

I won't go back to any other now.

I agree. I bought one bamboo pillow, and I must buy another because it is so comfortable. I only use one pillow at night.

I also like memory foam.

I get mine in Lidl or Aldi.
Seem OK.

If you go to Dunelm you will find dozens of pillows to squeeze. It doesn't mean they will all stay just right but I'd definitely think I'd need to at least squeeze a pillow.

My husband and I like different things.
I don't like the very puffy ones at all.

Good luck.

I stayed at my daughter’s recently and had a good night’s sleep - she said the pillows were from Matalan - “Firm, for side sleepers”. She said they’ve stayed plumped up, bought a while ago.
