Are tempur pillows worth the money?

[Littleegglet]

I started another thread for recommendations and these cropped up a lot. They’re so expensively though I thought I would ask to see how many of you have invested and whether they have made that much difference? Do they fit in standard pillow cases?!

In my experience - no! I bought one and woke up with the worst neck pain ever. I persevered for a week and gave up as the stiff neck each morning wasn't improving. I passed it on to my mum who couldn't get on with it either

YES
I’ve had one for 10 years now. Love it.
Standard pillow case is fine

No. Ok for a few months then just like other shit pillows.

I love mine, therefore its priceless !

Nope, but I am not a big lover of any pillow

The trick is not to pay too much attention to the numbers involved in purchasing...

I haven't got tempur, but I have the emma pillow which is amazing. I got them for about £40 each which a discount code. Would really recommend

Interesting anyone else?

YES!!

Best thing I ever bought. Ever!

Panda pillow. My DH took the mick about mine so I bought him one when he complained of recurring neck pain and now he can’t sleep without it. We also bought the kids version for my 4 year old, again he loves it!

I have one and I hate it. I only continue to use it because I paid so much bloody money for it.

We have a tempur mattress and pillow, we have one of the shaped foam pillows. It came free with our mattress, it’s very comfy and I now can’t sleep with other pillows.

You can get cheaper memory foam shaped pillows.

I love mine - we all have one. It’s lower than what you’re probably used to but once you’ve used it a while you’ll love it. Perfect support, like sleeping on a cloud.

Yes - got one for Xmas after experiencing it at a holiday cottage in October. It was expensive but it’s amazing.

It didn't work for me. I am a front sleeper. By far the best pillows have been medium feather/down pillows ... and a wool pillow that I'm absolutely loving.

I have the ergonomic shaped one. I purchased it in distress when I had that terrible neck/shoulder pain you get when you crick your neck in your sleep. Chiropractor recommended it.

I've had it for years, so the eye-watering price is less bad to contemplate now. OH has a similar but cheaper version but he often steals mine if He gets the chance as he reckons it is better.

I have a shredded memory foam pillow. It cost me somewhere round £16. The foam is in a zipped case so you can take out excess foam, then has another cover over that. It fits in a normal pillowcase.
Its like having a feather pillow but obviously no allergy, so much better than a solid lump of memory foam.

Yes, mine is amazing, totally worth the money!

Definitely, i bought mine 14 years ago and its hasn't lost shape. It did cost £70 then!

I got them for free from dreams when buying a new bed last year.

My husband likes his and I like them too. They are different to sleep on but you get used to it

Yes I had chronic neck pain for years and the Tempur pillow has been amazing. Even bring it on holidays if driving. Worth every penny!

No. Dunelm memory foam pillows are better and only £35.

People who say yes, which type do you have? I get tension headaches and tight neck/shoulders/back a lot and it seems to be pillow related which is why I’m debating whether to splash out

Yes. I have the tempura cloud though which is softer. I replace it every 2 years or so and I think , at £85, it is excellent value. It's not hard and it's not stupidly soft - just nicely firm

Err tempur. I've not battered it in oil or anything
