Pillows seem to be overlooked. However, just as important as the right mattress. Recently bought a Tempur Cloud w/1 Rhapsody pillow & 1 Cloud pillow. The Rhapsody pillow ended up being too high for me as it kept my head at an upward angle & I was waking up with neck pain. The Cloud pillow was a lot better, but I don't think it's 100% right for me either plus it only comes in standard size. Too small as I have a king bed & it is annoying having to keep moving the pillow as I move. The Tempur side pillow seems like it would be excellent for me (side sleeper), but it's too small. As of now, I think the only good option for my body is the Tempur neck pillow as it comes in king size. I really would like to stay with a memory foem pillow, but am open to other options. However, no down (allergies & asthma) |

No down pillows for me. Anyone ever use a buckwheat or microbead pillow? |
| I ordered the Z by Malouf 100% Natural Talalay Latex Zoned Pillow from amazon over a year ago and love it. http://www.amazon.com/Malouf-Natural-Talalay-QUEEN-HIGH-LOFT-PLUSH/dp/B00382XCL6/ |
| Tried the isotonic indulgence pillow today @ bed bath & beyond. I really liked it, but $60 for the damn king size made me leave without it. Yes, I spent more on the Tempur pillows, but we know that's comparing apples to oranges as well. Trying to find an online site that sells this pillow cheaper, but no luck so far. |

I found myself waking up in an uncomfortable position as well as being too hot. I've two memory foam ones. One is being used to pad my desk chair. It does a great job of cushioning by behind but not my head.... I don't know what to try. Years ago I slept on a down pillow and didn't like it (hot and caused some allergy problems). I ran across a pillow when at one of the big mattress stores. It was supposedly comprise of coconut foam. Seems really soft and was $100. I may have to buy some remnants from one of the online mattress companies and try building one out of latex. |
| I'm now on the Isotonic Indulgence pillow. If anyone wants to buy my Cloud pillow, let me know. Will ship in original box & plastic. Pillow itself was never laid on. |

Has anyone tried the "ErgoSoft" latex pillow? http://www.absolutecomfortonsale.com/latexpillow.htm I emailed the vendor to ask whether the latex was Talalay or Dunlop processed; got a prompt response saying it's Dunlop. The website says 16-18 IFD; I wonder if that'll be too soft for me. I think I'm wanting a firm, low-loft pillow -- something I will *not* sink too deep into -- but I really don't know. I have a latex pillow (bought cheap at Bed Bath & Beyond a couple years ago), but it doesn't get used, 'cause it's way too springy.
Also wondering about the "Nu-Lex Optimum Pillow" -- latex with wool batting & cotton cover: http://www.foamsource.com/shop/product/64 Looks like a possibility. This message was modified Sep 2, 2011 by Catherine

I went ahead and bought one, but my bed will not arrive until next week so i have only slet on it for 2 nights on a s mattress. It came a lot harder then the ones i used in the stores, but thats because its not broken in. I think it will work better on my Tempur bed when i get that as well. It's not bad and i wondn't say i wake with any neck pain.
There were 2 other pilliow's i loved in the stores, one was a Tempur pillow, it was very granulated and now for the life of me i cannot find it anywhere. It's become my mission to find it again, but i have had no luck to date. The other pillow i really liked was a sealy Embody pillow. It was very plush and it was nice in the store as well. The embody pillow is not cheap so i have held off on getting it, maybe i will if i can't get comfortable on the new bed.
The best pillow I have ever head is a normal waist pillow. It is a major comfort factor to my home office. :) |

Has anyone seen this pillow? http://www.pillo1.com/ It's super pricey -- but I laid on one in a store when I was trying mattresses and thought it was really cool. |

I just found my favorite pillow of all time on sale on eBay. If you like a soft latex pillow. I like it for stomach or back sleeping. It is not good for side sleeping. Old school Latex International. |
