The best pillows EVER!

[Winterfairy23]

Where can I buy them?

I had cheap ikea ones when renting and they were flat and rubbish. I searched online and some Silent Night ones came out on top with stellar reviews online. I realise this isn't an expensive brand by any means, but they were flat after a couple of weeks and I need to replace them again. When I bought my mattress I went for the matching pillows too. They were £60 per pillow for gel filled ones. They're quite comfy but once a pillowcase is stretched over them they are rock hard.

I don't like feather, have never tried down and would probably go for synthetic. Can anyone recommend some comfy, fluffy, hotel-like pillows please?

Bonus points if you can send me the links to them 🙏

Dunlopillo. They are the pillow of choice in my family.

Cost a bomb but build to last. We all have them.

I’d like to know too! A bit disappointed with the current ones I got from John Lewis, they’re just not plump enough.
I hate pillows that go completely flat in the middle when you put your head on, I like a pillow to make it feel like my head is floating on a cloud!

Secret Linen Company have amazing pillows that staff puffy and last. They also come with a pillow cover so you don't get nasty sharp bits of feather poking through.

Dunlopillo got bought out a few years ago, and their quality went downhill at that point.

It sounds obvious but have you tried a bigger pillowcase with the gel pillow? I have a latex pillow and it needs a larger Oxford pillowcase or it goes too firm.

@Hayeahnobut I have a few larger pillow cases and it really does help but I'm still chasing the perfect cloud pillow!

I thought about trying John Lewis but wasn't sure if they'd be any good!

I hate pillows. Buy new ones and they are lovely for a week and then go flat or lumpy. Of course I don't help matters by not plumping them daily and by using my bed as a sofa when I'm home so they get very squished.

@Winterfairy23. What made you decide to opt for cheap pillows when renting? Or do you mean they came with the house/flat?

I bought some pillows described as "box pillows" from TKMaxx @ £20 for the pair. I think this was reduced from £50. They are lovely. Firm but bouncy.

@Trying2Heal my rent was double what my mortgage now costs so I didn't have much disposable income for things like that. I thought ikea pillows would be reasonable quality because it's a big brand but also reasonably priced. They went flat really quickly though!

Yes to the panda memory foam ones, they’re good.

I've bought them from Richard Haworth (or Hayworth?) a company that sells to hotel chains. Still all really fat and fluffy. Not expensive.

I've got these, they've stayed bouncy much longer than any other pillows I've bought, and will buy them again when I need to replace!

Well my new soak and sleep pillows arrived today. They're so fluffy. Got a good deal in the black Friday thing so paid forty quid for 4 pack. Love them so far. Ds has just been doing 'trust falls' onto them on my bed

Whatever you go with, make sure you buy some decent pillow protectors!

They massively extend the life of your pillows, especially if you share a bed with a man and the disgusting brown juice that they inexplicably leak from their faces all night.

We just bought these- completely epic and match the sleeping on a cloud description.

I bought some from M&S a while ago jsut because they were on sale and seemed cheap. They've seemed to last great and not went flat or lumpy.. I don't even know what they're filled with.. I will see if I can search my emails..

I tried the Dorma "down like" pillows from Dunelm £25 each - soooo hard. Horrible.

Then tried m&s bounce back pillows made with microfiber filling. Only £6.50 for 2! Bargain. Soft and squishy. Only had 2 months but seem pretty good. Worth a try?

Bounce back! From M&S. That's the ones I was talking about. They've lasted well.

casper originals, recommended by a friend and they are great. They're not cheap but matressonline site do them heavily discounted.
