We want comfy pillows. What type is best?

Options
My dh and I are very happy with our La Romantica Venice bed (love it soooo much), but we really need a decent pillow each. I don't want to pay more than about a tenner each.
I was looking at these

Have been told on another board that they have gone very flat after a couple of months.
We both get some neck and shoulder pain, and just haven't got anything comfy.
I was thinking about memory foam ones, but many people find them too hard.
Can anyone recommend one that is nice and soft but supportive and not too high?

    Cheap pillows are a false economy. Spend a bit more and you'll get something that is more comfortable and will last a lot longer.

    I have Fogarty Wool Pillows. I can't recommend them enough.
    Gone ... or have I?

    Ikea, no seriously. They do special pillows for side, back and front sleepers in a range of budgets, I've had on e (approx £6) for a few years and have really reduced my neck probs since getting the ikea pillow, loved it so much just got a fresh one last weekend and given old one to OH who loves it.

    Dmg24 I was looking at Fogarty pillows in argos Yday as they have them reduced in the sale. I had never heard of them before, but the packaging looked expensive IYkWIM! They had feather and down ones, buy2 get 2 free and reduced to around 20 quid!

    Starjumper I hadn't thought of Ikea. I will have a look online as I can't get up there for at least a few weeks.

    Thank you both very much.

    Can you remember which one you bought? I just looked and they had 21 different types:eek:. Wouldn't have a clue where to start. BTW, we would be mainly side sleepers.
    Does it matter if you get a pillow for side sleeper, but end up on your back during the night?
