Pillow talk

No, like actual pillows.What kind do you have? Any types or brands you would recommend? I'm not even that picky on the specifics, but all of my pillows lose any fluff so quickly it seems. I end up buying new pillows every three or four months. I'm ready to drop a little more money on nicer pillows so I won't have to buy them all the time.

Re: Pillow talk

  • We bought some $50 pillows at BB&B and ended up replacing them after 2 years.I was hoping for that price they'd last longer. This time we bought some that were ~$20 (Laura Ashley I think, also from BB&B) and they are comfy. I can't speak to how long they last, but it's been at least 3-4 months now and they are still good.

    ETA: I can't say I wasn't a little disappointed that this wasn't that kind of pillow talk :-P 

  • DH likes really firm and fluffy ones, I get them from target every few months, just the target RE brand . I like mine flat as pancakes, if I use one at all, so I wait until he gets them all squished and then take 'em and buy him new ones.

    You and I are absolutely pillow opposites. Flat pillows make me cringe even thinking about.Maybe I am more picky than I thought.

    Sometimes I just bunch up my baby blanket my grandma knit and use that as a pillow :) DH thinks I'm crazy too, I'm used to it!

  • I'm glad you asked this b/c I'm in serious need of new pillows. I won't even tell you how old they are, it's disgusting.

  • In all seriousness, I don't remember the last time we bought new pillows was.

    But I always end up at the bottom edge of my pillow with my head bunched forward over my chest.  I've been thinking about getting one of those contoured pillows that are supposed to keep your neck straight...will probably go to BB&B for this or overstock.com.

  • I only use latex pillows and so does everyone else in my family.  They're expensive, but they last forever.  They're firm and fluffy at the same time.  My parents got some for a wedding gift that last over 20 years.  They're seriously the best.

  • I buy the RE brand at Target too. I have had ours a few years and they are still fine.

  • The last set we bought were RE from Target as well. They work for guests IMO, but I like mine a bit more firm. I also have shoulder/neck issues though. I have one of the contoured ones that I use when it's acting up, but can't sleep on it long-term, as I'm a tummy/side sleeper.

    My favorite are tempurpedic (sp?) pillows, they're like regular ones, but the temp. material so they stay firm longer and support your neck better. I need to get new ones, so they've lasted about 5 years now. They're still fine, but losing their firm-ness.

  • I can't really help because I like flat pillows too, I really only use one little corner of it. Plus, I can't remember what we got, something at BB&B.

    While I was looking for a witty rebuttal to this, I found this:

    WTF?

  • Thanks for all of the suggestions.  I take back what I said about not being a picky pillow person.  Apparently I am extremely picky.

    I had a girlfriend in college whose apartment we all used to sleepover at after a night out and she had the most AMAZING pillows.  I think they were Ralph Lauren?  I might drive down to the outlets this weekend and try those.
