Sleeping rough

[blondee]

I have not been sleeping too well for sometime think I need a new mattress but more importantly my pillows have seen better days paid a lot for them and have lasted well looking for new ones its a mine field out there what do you all buy, firm, soft, support cheap and cheerful and throw them out regularly, expensive duckdown

[plantaholic]

Down or feather and down for us but some people are allergic to them. There are some soft fibre filling ones but I have only encountered them on holiday. Can't bear those cheap rubbery one that you can't make any impression on. If you have a J. Lewis near to you they have lovely displays.

Cheap and cheerful here tinker,we like 2 each. I buy new ones every two years. I did buy one of those funny shaped pillows that are supposed to support your neck,but found it very uncomfortable. Get my pillows from Dunholm Mill. Have bought expensive ones many years ago,but when they stain they stain, thats why I buy cheapos.

I buy good pillows and always put protectors on the top ones, is a fact that we all dribble while asleep (sounds awful) but pillows do get stained, am a bit of a hygiene freak, but easier to wash protector then pillow!!
I like the fogarty memory pillows think that is what they were!!

however expensive the feather or down ones are the blessed feather escape!! hate that!

just had bottle red wine with other half so could be in muddle!! complemented by lovely sirloin steak!! yummmy!"!

We have the memory pillows not the solid memory foam these have memory foam chippings i like a more firm pillow to OH so i opened his and took some out, i always put a pillow protecter on and a spare pillow case on before top pillow case

I put white pillowcases on first before the main pillowcase, tried the protectors and didnt like them. Use Mattress protector though.

[anneandgraham]

I use pillow protectors for Rosies pillow also invaluable when she is on heat - but you can get all different sorts of them - some are bit crackly! that is if they are waterproof but I like the soft ones - they really work!!

we have currently got quilited ones which are lovely!!

Same as you, GG

Been promising myself new pillows for ages. We got a new (heavenly, comfortable!) mattress last summer, comfier pillows would complete it

[nannyviolet]

We recently got a new part memory foam mattress (all foam was too hot!) which is beautifully comfortable, bought it mainly to try to alleviate OH's back problems, (luckily I could sleep on the floor if I had to) but took us ages to find comfy pillows: we tried them all, now have something called "Snuggledown Oriental" which is a box style fairly high pillow as we would otherwise use two. Supposed to be expensive but can be bought much cheaper in TK Max

I belong to the same pillow fraternity as GG and Beth!

I like feather and down best - you can created a customised dent, just right for your head and snuggle down into it! (Sorry, pun not intended), but I always put hollowfill pillows on guest beds in case anyone has asthma or is allergic to feathers.

We've got a memory foam mattress which is the most comfortable I've ever slept on.
