    I picked up a couple of really good quality pillows in Marks and Spencer yesterday. They are on a 2 for £5 offer year-round, but this weekend M&S have 20% off home so they worked out at £2 a pillow. HTH

    These are not 'good quality' pillows. They are fine and serve the purpose for the short term, but no better than 'value' type pillows on offer in any of the supermarkets.

    If you want a pillow that will last, you should look to pay around £10 per pillow (or more, depending on the filling). Dunelm Mill have some around this price that offer excellent value, and will last a great deal longer than anything that costs £2! Remember that you spend a great deal of time using them, so they are well worth the investment.

    I have bought many pillows over the years. They all go limp.But the best I have got to date is from pound stretchers.
    I think that the price was £9 each or 2 for £15.
    This was last year, but I do not know whether they still stock these ( memory foam) type ones. These are the normal types not the contoured
    types which I do not like. These are heavy seem to hold the firmness.

    I have utterly given up buying expensive pillows. I have never found any that do not go flat and/or lumpy. I find it is best to just buy cheap ones and replace them when needed. This way we get a fresh pillow every few months or so rather than thinking we have spent a fortune on these pillows so we will have to make them last longer. Hence I have stocked up on M&S pillows - at that price (cheaper than market) I can't go wrong!
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare
  • Thanks to everyone for the replies, i'm thinking cheap one's (foam) and throw away every few months. (Thanks Jane)
    Heard something on radio 2 today about mites in feather pillows so probably avoid them.
    Thanks all..
