do you love your pillow?

[sjh722]

Thanks to @supergreen - I have been having a lot of muscle pain in my neck lately. She commented on a post yesterday about getting a new pillow to help with that.  (idea)

I believe we currently have ones that were in the 2 for $20 bin at Costco. I really like our Costco memory foam mattress, but their memory foam pillows appear to only come in standard and I prefer king.

Yes. It is a feather pillow named Lumpy that has been by my side for 25 years.

This is not helpful.

Yes, I have a Tempurpedic from Brookstone. It took a while to break in so it is hard to judge right out of the box, but I love it.

[justjen]

We got tempurpedic pillows thrown in when we for our mattress. I really like them.

[atarianna]

Yes. I love mine! It's a latex foam pillow. When I found it, I bought a couple because I've had a hard time locating latex memory foam and like the firmness of this one.

[rbp]

We love our Pacific Coast Pillows. H has the firm one and I have medium. They are pricey but totally worth it IMO.

DH and I both got "my pillow's" and he LOVES his. I hated mine. I sent it back.

It's so individual it's hard to say!

We like the Tommy Bahama costco pillows. Not too stuffed, thin but not flat.

I'm obsessed with this one- and it stays cool throughout the night.

I had a bout of cranial radiopathy last year. It was horrible came on suddenly one night, I woke up unable to move my neck to the left with radiating pain and numbness down my left arm. It went on for 7 weeks before it finally cleared up. 2 things helped. 1) physical therapy and 2) my cervical pillow.

I don't use it "correctly" because I sleep with my arm under the pillow, but this is still better than anything I've ever had. I had to get over that it doesn't look "cute" on the bed, or hide it behind a sham. It's worth to never experience that kind of pain again. I haven't had so much as a stiff neck since I started using it. here's a link:

I just bought the pillow you recommended, I hope I love it!

I had that exact same pain you described. I had four really bad episodes of it. The last one was the worst, and I started going to PT at that time. Since then (January 2013) I've been searching for a pillow that I love and that doesn't go flat within a couple of weeks of purchase. My current one (Therapedic) was nice when I got it, but it's starting to make my neck hurt and I've only had it about 2.5 months.

I *almost* bought this one for my DH because he is always hot. I was kinda skeptical about it staying cool so that's good to hear!

Yes and I paid almost $200 for it. Best money I ever spent. Go try out pillows at a mattress store to get the good ones.

Ditto, we bought ours when we bought our mattress/bedroom set and love them.

Same here - but I don't completely hate mine so I kept it. 

I alternate between the My Pillow and my cheapy one from Kohl's that's super soft & fluffy (I'm REALLY surprised that it's still as fluffy as it was when we bought it considering how much use it gets).

Yes, obsessed. Anchini is the brand. They are not MM but they are amazing and worth the poors.

[ijack]

I would actually go to a mattress store and have them tell you what pillow is best. You need a different pillow depending on what position you sleep in, and it makes a HUGE difference. When we bought a mattress, we got new pillows too and they were only $30 and have resolved all my neck pain.

Yes! That. Thanks friend.

Depends on what kind of sleeper you are. As a side-sleeper prone to neck and shoulder tension, I like my talalay latex pillow. H uses the same; he's also a side-sleeper, but does not have tension issues. The pillows we buy are not cheap, but they hold up far better than others we've had.

Yay sjh722, I hope a new pillow helps! Neck pain SUCKS. As I said in my other post, I had chronic neck pain off and on for months. It wasn't bad enough to go to the doctor/chiropractor, it was just really annoying. I bought a Temper-Pedic pillow and have had zero issues since. ZERO.

Another tempurpedic pillow lover checking in.

Yes! I need to buy one for my DH because he's always stealing mine. 

[auntie]

Company Store.

Their basic is better than most upscale brands and their good studd is amazing

[mrsd2006]

I have to have two pillows when I sleep. One goes under my head, and one to cover my face (except my noes and mouth). Weird, I know. Love love love my foam Comforpedic pillows for under my head, and down pillows from the Company Store goes on top.

[Mrs.Rad888]

Yes! I found my pillow when I was bed shopping. I didn't end up getting a bed from this store, but I did buy a pillow. It was $90.00, and worth every penny. I've been using it for 9 years, and it still holds up just as good as it was on the first day. It's a latex memory foam one. I think this one is pretty close, I don't remember exactly which model I got.

[hz80408]

I do! I was using cheapo Target $5 pillows and recently bought some RL down from TJ Maxx, king set for $29; they are amazing!!

[Treat Yo Self]

I just bought a Tempurpedic Symphony, based on GBCN recommendations (I did a search), and it's heaven. I've been buying a series of knock-offs from Amazon for the past few years and I've had to replace them after a year or so, so I figured I should give the real thing a try. It's amazing so far! I'm a side/stomach sleeper and it's perfect for me. Got it at BB&B using a 20% off coupon: www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/symphony-pillow-by-tempur-pedic-reg/1014408061
