I'm fed up with having to replace them every few months because they have become so uncomfortable that they stop me from sleeping / I wake up with headaches.

I dont want animal products or memory foam. I sleep on my side / front. I tend to hug them which is probably part of the issue.

I dont mind if they are a bit spendy, I just want comfort that lasts longer than a couple of weeks. 😪

Do you like bean bags? You could try making an overfilled bean bag pillow. Some people love them.

I dont like the sinking and I think they might be a bit noisy in my ear?

Latex? I’ve had my Dunlopillo for nearly 10 years. Different feeling to memory foam.

Is is sweaty or noisy/squeeky? I get very hot at night.

My favourite is a wool pillow but that's an animal product so not very helpful sorry. Keeps it's shape though and is both firm and soft

Yes, I have a pillow from Braavet that is brilliant as long as I top it up with wool every so often.

The wool has started to mat though so it needs replacing and as I say, I don't want to use animal products anymore. Im not going to lie and say I wasnt tempted to make an exception for this though!
