    Pillows and mattress has been the greatest dillemas out of all household items.

    I just cant fix it.

    I was in Hilton last week and the pillow is awesome but cant just find the name at all.

    Anyone with the joker?

    Cheers

    Most of the pillows in the links that people have been posting are just hollow fibre pillows. Just ignore all the fancy names like springback and rebound, they are all the same.

    If you buy hollow fibre, then don't spend a lot, as they all go flat eventually, and will need replacing once a year.

    One thing to remember is that many hotels replace pillows on a regular basis, so they will always feel like new ones.

    This is also the case with mattresses. They replace them every year, so they don't have to have the long term reliability that you would want with a mattress at home.

    I'm very fussy over my pillows and usually take my pillow with me when travelling if I can and generally buy Dunlopillo Serenity but as with the above poster I bought a pack of the Sainsburys bounce back ones in January when they were on offer and have found them very good.

    Feather pillows that are washable...........are you sure?
    You can wash feather pillows and i take my feather duvet to the launderette. What do you think happens when the duck gets wer, he dries out. Just keep fluffing them up as they are drying.

    You can have them dry cleaned, but machine washing them doesn't do them any good at all.

    A duck coats it's feathers in oil which keeps them waterproof. Detergents in a washing machine will disolve any oils, and the constant movement in the washing machine will damage the feathers, eventually making the pillow become flat. Machine washing will also remove the coating on the inside of the pillow fabric that stops the feathers working their way through the fabric.
