What Pillows?

This will be very subjective but looking at opinions on pillows.

For the last 10 or so years, we've had some special £40 vynyl pillows or something. They don't lose shape but they're getting a little tired. They're also quite heavy.

I've tried some of the best selling ones from Amazon some slumber down ones in an orange pack but they weren't that good.

I've seen some Aeyla ones but they're about £60/£70 for one, which is quite a lot but they do have a 30 day guarantee and free returns.

So what Pillows would you recommend I try?

    I've tried so many pillows.

    I now have a Kudd.ly pillow. It's memory foam but small bits so you add/remove as you require to increase/decrease the height/firmness etc of the pillow 

    Been using it nearly a year now and it's very comfortable. The fact it's adjustable is what sold it for me
  • I have a memory foam one from The White Company £45 and I've had some of the best nights sleep ever since buying it last summer. Still looks and feels like new

    I've bought one for my Dad too who has a habit of destroying pillows and 4 months in and it's still in good shape.

    I have a buckwheat pillow. After the initial concern that I’d spent £30 on a pillow that performed like a sandbag, sounded like shingle and smelt of mulch I’ve slept really well.

    During the long hot summer months last year, I inserted a chillmax pillow (bought in Asda) inside my pillowcase. It was bliss to have a cool pillow.

    TKMaxx often has a variety of pillows at a reasonable price. Get a protective cover at the same time. I like feather pillows, they need plumping up regularly, and mine are still good at about ten years old. The old ones got a bit thin so they were made into cushions. 

    I use a cold hot water bottle, and a damp flannel or two when it is too hot. We keep the curtains closed in the day in sunny, summer weather, to keep the heat out.

    I’ve got silk pillows, they are lovely.  I can’t remember how much they were but I think it was about £25 each.
