To ask you to recommend a pillow?

[AlanAtSnapeMaltings]

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. 😪

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

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

I converted my whole family two years ago.
They stay cool on the back so can be turned over in an instant in the night.

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

Simba Hybrid. Worth every penny. I even take it on holiday with me..

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!

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

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

Off to Google. Thanks.

I love my Simba pillow. It's small cubes a bit like a trampoline jump pit. You add however many is comfortable. I've had mine 5 -6 years (with 1 cube top up purchased as I like mine quite bouncy).

Just goggling. The video makes the cubes look like those big foam pits. 🤣

I agree with pp, latex. I’ve had my dunlopillo for 2 years and will never go back. Doesn’t get hot or sweaty and I’m also a side/stomach sleeper and have never found a more comfortable pillow. Worth the expense.

I've used these and binned them, they didn't last any length of time for me before they were flat and hopeless.

If you have a harry corry anywhere near you, they have a vast selection of pillows that you can actually feel. I've never found anywhere with so many actually on display and unwrapped. It might be worth a look.

Had these for 3 years and all still the same as when bought - firm but comfortable and you can unzip and wash the cover https://otty.com/products/otty-deluxe-pure-bamboo-pillow?_gl=116x92he_upMQ.._gsMQ.._gaMTE5Njc1MzY5OC4xNzU2NzU0MTUw_ga_SRQJVJGNPH*czE3NTY3NTQxNDckbzEkZzAkdDE3NTY3NTQxNjMkajQ0JGwwJGg5NjExNzcyMA..&gclid=CjwKCAjwiNXFBhBKEiwAPSaPCaWqvKp_dEM6h_FCBRAz37lAlHLEBpUQH9D9dJf83Bd5xx4SZ2gYNBoCXagQAvD_BwE&gbraid=0AAAAADRCZ5UJ-dVaXgAFic1CnpBwcxXkg

🤣 I've literally just said about a pit.

Just tried to see if Amazon had a similar brand to the Otty and found this which is half the price https://www.amazon.co.uk/NOFFA-Memory-Foam-Pillows-Neck/dp/B07KS2VWJ8/ref=sr_1_6?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Q3QgpeWawNnlt_IGFAY2kT1LFVSy7ai7D4C2myiGsQjlvJg3suaKxPgXVBfhdIrfqCO1gPLhw-4UjQAKw1bwVzPqURLjb8_NGdpB9YjABoKw0A_rMRhmW_FeS9P7vXgCG-ceK-T43MK_ftHfpgt9K9wStLRe3bD5gVVTk3onY4tgnO2NJeI2WQGJihF9EmslZLPGUcpk7iR_RrPaaq68w8k_miiwVQozG_fCpMMtSbcB-49F9g729MpBQO8XyA0fon5zb8R6h_EeQy43btIQMRsYmU8hgPWi3dLBV8OuXXc.7bVBBcejApnPYQLmOlxZaP6VhqQjFHn5aTCmK4dmBMQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=otty+pillow&qid=1756754603&sr=8-6

Definitely not noisy or squeaky and I don’t find it hot at all. I’m a side/front sleeper so have the lower height.

We have the Premier Inn pillows and find them really comfy - so far they have lasted very well (nearly 2 years so far).

With the simba hybrid, can you feel the cubes? I am very sensitive to lumps in pillows.

I know you said no memory foam, but I’m a side sleeper and have been using a Panda memory foam pillow for a few years now. It looks like a solid brick on your bed but it does support your head and neck. Previously I had awful pain in my shoulder. I also like to ‘hug’ a pillow and keep a separate normal pillow for that :)

My dunlopillows are amazing, worth spending £70 on each one a few years back, never had to spend 20 every 2 months again!

We had these and they went flat after about 6 months ☹️

Dunlopillo - best pillows I’ve ever bought.

My daughter has one of those and loves it. Ive tried that and a few others but they are not for me.

I can't. They go inside a padded envelope.
