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) |

Anyone ever use a buckwheat or microbead pillow? I tried the buckwheat/micro-bead in the search for the perfect pillow. The buckwheat/micro-bead didn't do the trick. 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. |
