I have been sleeping on the same pillow for 30 years! After all this time the fill has compacted down, and it’s become very hard. I would like to replace it, but I can’t find a pillow hard enough. Even the memory foam pillows, they start out hard, but then my head sinks into them. If anyone knows of a rock hard pillow for sale anywhere please let me know.
I’ve always loved pillows, and always sleep in a nest of at least five. I go for down alternative, and have had good luck with one of the Hotel brands. They’re very soft, and last well.
I drool over those super-expensive pillow and bedding catalogs.
It’s just a coincidence! I was not looking in your windows! BTW, you’re almost out of milk.
2 feather pillows and plain old pillowcases that same with the sheets.
One memory foam pillow and one cheapy Target poly fill pillow. I side sleep most of the time, and put the poly pillow atop the memory foam. The memory foam by itself just gets too hot for me for some reason.
Up until a few years ago I always liked old beat-up, nasty, yellow-stained pillows that I could scrunch up anyway I wanted. I hated all of my experiences with new pillows and was worried that I would be screwed if I lost my old ones. Luckily, I was at an Ikea about a year ago and discovered that you can actually buy a brand new pillow that feels like a hobo sat on it for a decade. Pure comfort
ETA: Honey My advise is to go to the Ikea website and look for the “firm” style with lowest filling weight
I have a SofTex pillow, which is firm-ish. I don’t want my face sinking into a pillow that is too soft.
Other stuff on my bed:
sheets
IKEA cool comforter
small blanket
live cat
Same here, love my Tempur-pedic pillow. My mom bought one a few years ago. I took a nap at her house and borrowed her pillow. She almost didn’t get it back! My birthday was in a few weeks so she bought me my own.
I have a second pillow on my bed that the cat sleeps on. Right now I have my polar fleece sheets, three blankets, and my big heavy puffy quilt. It’s sun-faded and doesn’t look so nice but I can’t find anything heavy enough to replace it that won’t cost a month’s rent. Yes, I get cold at night, can you tell? 
Doesn’t everyone?
Then again, my winter linens are flannel, and there’s a heated mattress pad under them. It’s. So. Cozy! So hard to get out of bed on really cold mornings, too.
The summer linens are crisp cotton and lighter colours . Spring and autumn are softer cotton and darker colours.
This says a lot about how exciting the people in this thread are.
So I’ll go with… a riding crop and some plastic wrap. :D:eek:
I have a silk duvet, cheap Ikea linens, and an Ethiopian cotton blanket on top. My pillows are a random assortment of cheapies. I’m not picky about my bedding, but I do get chilled easily and like heavy blankets.
This sounds like my pillows. Others have described them as “a double sided sheet in a pillowcase.” I am a side sleeper and sleep with my arm under my head, with the pillow in between. A big, fluffy pillow hurts my neck.
I sleep with a $10 pillow from Tar-Jay.
My needs shift throughout the night. One pillow two, add a cat, the dog pushes back, the CPAP starts leaking around my face or runs out of water, wait, need another cough drop, got to “P”, dog took my spot, cat comes to sleep on my head.
Wife starts out with a wide variety of size & shaped pillows, heated rice bags, covers just so. In 45 minutes I have to save her from going over the foot of the bed with no pillow near, one foot out but of course she was freezing and then she wants to go “P” and her cat does not like to be bothered and stomps over me to get a snack.
At the crack of dawn, all cats get on the head board and jump onto my stomach one right after the other so I will get up and let them out.
Dog won’t go out until I scritch all his itchy spots with the special brush.
I have gotten to where I like naps. :smack:
I sleep on my own in a double bed and, until quite recently, slept with one latex pillow (can’t attest to its cost or quality) and a boomerang pillow from Target. I do like the boomerang pillow for propping up against to read but I’m sure sleeping on the gap in that pillow is what’s given me the most god-awful neck pain.
I’ve been using hot packs, rubbing my neck with Metsal and have forced myself to have a neck massage (which was agony but relieved the pain for the rest of the day). I also tried out a new, memory foam pillow (half price at Adairs but still cost me over $70). It felt great as I tested it out in the shop but it just doesn’t feel “right”. I’m hoping it’s just a matter of getting used to it and the memory foam will slowly help my neck to fix itself.
Otherwise, I’m off to the physiotherapist.
Nah, the neck pain is due to your being on the bottom side of the world. At night the coriolis effect pulls your head toward the ceiling. Wear a heavy hat to bed each night to keep your head on the pillow.
My neighbors in my apartment complex gave me couch they were going to get rid of, along with two matching pillows. They are small, but totally comfortable. I like the material too.
They are really nothing special when you see them, but I use them to sleep in my bed. I use my regular pillow to drape my arm around, and put in between my legs when I’m sleeping on my side.
…I need a life partner to spoon with.
