~@*HELP*@~ I have pancakes for pillows

[mumblecrumble]

Please help*,

I am sick of pillows being soooo flat and uncomfy.

I have bought two lots of new pillows increasing in price in the niave hope of them staying fluffy, or at least not totally flat. I have washed and drid pillows to no avail.

Can you recomend a pillow that will be fluffier???

*Yes I am aware this thread is pretty trivial in comparison to most but my head is beggining to hurt.

Are they feather pillows?

No. Think feather pillows make me weeze etc...

mumble I have this problem.

I have resigned myself to buying new pillows once a year - normally spend about £40 and try and get something which is on offer so as to get a 'better' pillow! Washing them never works for me, they always go lumpy no matter what I do.

yy to the wheezing also, am mega allergic to all the dust that feathers hold.

WHat about that foam stuff? Is that any good... memory foam I think its called

My parents have those and they are seriously uncomfortable - no good for sleeping on your stomach which is what I do mainly.

Seriously uncomfortable?

£40 a year on pillows?

:(

Well I got mine from John Lewis 5 years ago and they are still perfectly plump. Admittedly they were about £30 each but I figure they've been value for money.

Well the memory foam ones that I have seen are about £80 each, so that's four years of pillows for me :)

Connor - you don't know which ones they are do you? I always try and buy the firmest ones they have and they still collapse. DH's worse than mine, but he has an incredibly heavy head.

I need plump pillows. Seriously, my husband laid hi hanky on my pillows this morning and doubled their thickness :(

I'm not entirely sure but the definately aren't feather ones or memory foam ones.

Just looking at their website they do one called a breathe standard pillow that is £30 so it may be something like that.

TBH I think cheap pillows are a false economy. I couldn't bare to sleep on a flat pillow.

Marriott Hotels' pillows are fantastic too and I believe that you can actually purchase them through Marriott.

silk pillow Wildly expensive but plump and excellent to sleep on.

Handkerchief....doubled thickness........

dunlopillo latex pillows. fabulously comfortable and ideal for asthma/allergy sufferers. and they don't go out of shape at all.

we have had them for years and i wouldn't buy any other sort of pillow now. i did buy some memory foam ones a few years back thinking they too would be lovely and squashy yet supportive........think they were made out of concrete. seriously uncomfortable and the old dunlopillo ones were back on the bed within hours.

they are quite expensive, for a pillow, but last ages. we recently replaced the ones on our bed after about eight years, the old ones were still fine and are still in use on the guest bed.
