Synthetic pillows that aren't crap

DD desperately needs some new pillows, they have gone totally flat after only a few months. She is only 4 so don't want to spend loads but happy to spend a bit more for something that lasts a while, does anyone have any recommendations?

Dorma forever full. Usually £20 for two at dunelm but they regularly have offers of 20% off. I wash mine then tumble dry with some tennis balls in the machine and they plump up quite well again.

I have a few dunelm hotel ones and they're pretty good but quite firm.

Why synthetic in particular? We love our wool ones

We have feather but kids bedding needs the ability to be washed (frequently!)

I'm a great fan of Dunlopillo latex pillows. They are expensive, but last for years. I have had them ever since I was a child. My current one is years old, but still comfortable.

I came on to say dunlopillow, someone beat me to it.

Expensive but worth every penny.

Sympathies on the asthma and allergies, I wasn't meaning to sound confrontational or anything just wondering if you had looked into wool as naturally good for those with allergies, eczema, asthma etc. We have waterproof covers on the kids ones just in case and just wash the cotton cases if we need to. Anyway hope you get sorted with what you need
