Tempur Pillows and other posh pillows

[Huzzah]

Anyone tried these or other posh pillows?
Does the 30 day free trial work or do they try to wriggle out of it?

We have Mlily ones, our local independent mattress shop has loads of pillows out to try, they’re all subtly (or not so subtly) different.

We’ve got on well with them, and only need one pillow now, not two.

They are really heavy though.

Thank you, I'll take a look at them.

I see Tempur pillows are circa £150, I don't mind paying that if they offer a significant improvement over the standard jobbies. But also wondering about these imitations. If 90% as good for the price then worthwhile.

£150? Does it give you a light massage while you're lying there pondering the follies of late-stage consumerism?

Royal Rest have good neck support / align your spine.

Good point well made.

Bit of a cliche but there are some things in life that are worth getting right (I'm not saying expensive is automatically right).

Anything that helps you get a good nights sleep is one of them IMO.

Got two of these “free” with a tempur mattress. Didn’t get on with them at all, too thick for me and its heaviness/density reminded me of a sandbag. Have been meaning to stick them on eBay. Each to their own though!

Love my Panda pillow. Got one for my son and he loves it too, wife not keen. Recommended to a colleague, she didn't like it but her son loves it. I guess it's like anything, depends on your preference.

The covers don't last that long though.

Exactly the same here, I love mine and so did my son so bought him one. Wife and daughter on the other hand hate them and like a soft squishy pillow

I actually love the denseness and weight of my memory foam pillow. If i stay in a hotel with normal pillows i struggle to get comfy whereas my pillow at home is perfect even if the missus calls it a breeze block!

We got two 'free' with a mattress from Dreams. I like them but my partner hates them.

Ive now got one of these https://levitex.co.uk/pages/anti-snore-pillow?gad_...

It is amazing. Honestly best sleep ive had in a long time. Also helps with my pretending to be a motorbike when im asleep.

Same for me, but I use mine for kneeling on when I'm working on the car, better than knee pads, but quite expensive if you had to pay for them.

A lot depends on sleeping position. I don't mind the temper cloud pillow for back sleeping, but prefer side sleeping, for which I use a memory foam contour pillow.

I do prefer duck down pillows for comfort, but I've had to compromise on those as I tend to sleep in odd positions and get muscle pains.

sleeping on my back doesn't feel comfortable to me at all, and takes me longer to doze off, but it does yield the best results, muscle wise.

Basically I don't think there is one single answer. What feels most comfortable might not be the right option

I got a pair of the Emma Premium pillows earlier this year after lots of umming and arghing and glad I did. I sleep much better with them, and in the summer they were significantly cooler than my old ones. Holding up well too and the wife likes hers as much as I do.

Bought a Tempur many years ago and love it, could never go back to normal pillows now.

[Sporky]

As others have said, you need the right pillow for you.

I sleep on my side, and got sore ears depute them not being big or sticky-outy. I cut a hole through an Otty foam pillow and that's now perfect.

Or you could try these from a well known High Street chain

I take my own pillow with me if i can.
Hotels for some reason love to have pillows that your face sinks into...

If i'm going for more than a couple of nights i've been known to take my own pillow too!
