I am obsessed with finding a decent pillow!
I would like one quite firm that doesn't sink in the middle after a few weeks and am prepared to pay £££s for something decent as I am tired of wasting money on crappy pillows
Please help me in my pillow quest wise mumsnetters Flowers

Really green?
I wouldn’t have put much faith in an IKEA pillow

IKEA pillows are amazing. They even have them out so you can test them out properly. I will spent a fortune on pillows and IKEA ones are the best.

Buckwheat pillows. Google.

Thank me later. 😃

Wool pillows from the Wool Room. Sleepy bliss. And no lingering concerns about ethical down sourcing or hypoallergenic filling clumpage.

Ambi · 05/04/2019 20:44

I love a firm pillow, my favourite is a sprung pillow. Soft and springy but stays in shape night after night.

Justonemorepancake · 05/04/2019 20:46

Otty pillows. Amazing.

Ilikethinkingupnewnames · 05/04/2019 20:48

@HeavensToTenby wool has its own ethical concerns.

Pocket sprung pillow from Dreams or the IKEA memory foam (about 1/3 the price). Both are great. The IKEA one even goes on holiday with me!

www.baavet.co.uk/wool-pillow comfiest pillow I have ever slept on.

TheMarbleFaun · 05/04/2019 20:53

I am liking the idea of these ones that you can buy extra filling for (or take out if it’s too much)
Which would be firmer and keep its shape longer the wool or the buckwheat?

We got 2 free pillows from Emma when we bought our mattress. They are expensive £65 each! But they are amazing.

Biancadelrioisback · 05/04/2019 20:56

I've got an IKEA memory foam pillow and it's awful!

Fraserisland · 05/04/2019 20:58

Never tried woolbut I’m sure buckwheat would be firmer. You can have it like a rock or like a bag of rice 😄. I keep mine topped up, I like it hard!

Love my Simba Hybrid pillow - very comfy

SheWoreBlueVelvet · 05/04/2019 21:02

My mum made my pillows in the 1960’s. No idea where she got the feathers from. They are like sandbags! Obviously a disgusting idea to have 60 year old pillows but they are fab.
Sorry to derail.
But I am watching with interest. Wool pillows were good I seem to remember from some craft show.

QueenofCBA · 05/04/2019 21:07

Dunelm “full forever” pillows are great. We’ve had ours for over a year, bought them after sleeping on them in a holiday cottage.

Peasinthefreezer · 05/04/2019 21:07

Another vote for the simba Hybrid pillow here - can adjust the amount of filling in it.

BoreOfWhabylon · 05/04/2019 21:11

Silk pillows from Duvet and Pillow Warehouse.

They are flattish so I use 2.

Heaven - especially with silk pillowcases.

Another vote for Otty .... we got 2 free pillows recently with our new mattress .... they are fab!

JuniperBeer · 05/04/2019 21:35

I love the Ikea pillow linked to above. It cured my neck pain!!

goingtotown · 05/04/2019 22:08

Full Forever by Dorma at Dunelm. I put Dunelm zipped pillow covers on them, still full after 2 years.

TheMarbleFaun · 05/04/2019 22:10

The Full Forever ones used to be good but the last ones I bought weren’t very good
