Memory foam pillows

I wake up most mornings with an aching neck and headache - so do these pillows really help and if so, which are best please? There seems to be a huge difference in prices.

A memory foam pillow did not help me much - though it felt more supportive. I went back to using a 'standard' pillow when I changed my bed and touch wood, have not suffered any aches & pains since

I really like my memory foam pillow, it's one of the 'shaped' ones that contour around your neck. I tried one of the other ones before that are supposed to mould to your own shape, just a normal pillow shape, but much heavier but this was no good for me. The one I have that I like is from Asda, although I've had it for a couple of years now and it's lost it's shape a bit, I need to buy a new one but it was quite cheap.

I too have one of the shaped pillows - don't think it's memory foam, bought it form Lidl as a trial run, didn't want to spend a fortune on a pillow to find I did not like it. Next time I see an offer on the shaped memory foam I shall be investing as I no longer wake up with neck/back ache, and am sleeping far better. My OH complained it would be too hard for him, but I have my little groove in it now and it is perfect.

It would not be any good for anyone who sleeps on their front though.

The one I bought was too firm....like a sandbag, and it stunk of fish for ages when new (Google memory foam smell).

I've binned it now and bought a fairly expensive feather one that is fantastic.

I had a memory pillow but had to ditch it as I too had a headache every morning. My hubby on the other hand loves his. I've since resorted back to a good feather pillow and a normal soft filled pillow and headaches are now gone. So i wouldn't recommend them from my own experience.
