That My Pillow guy seems like he’s on the up and up!

The copper pillow from walmart is like 10$ for a normal size. I've had the king size one for a couple years now and it hasn't lost any shape at all, I love it. Just a full polyester pillow with well made filling.

People can hate the guy all they want, it's a great pillow that adjusts to you plus the money back guarantee. Would be stupid not to try it.

Martha Stewart Feels like Down at macys. Great pillow

Same, got a set of shredded latex pillows with my sleepez mattress. At first my wife and I were like "these are weird" but we decided to give them a shot. I love it now. She still prefers a more firm pillow under her head but likes the shredded latex pillow between her knees at night.

My man!

Pro tip - don’t ask for buying advice from people who know better, and then question that advice with 0 evidence or knowledge on the subject.

Nice then it can be a combined fan/space heater in the winter months

I love latex foam pillows. I’ve never used the shredded kind but the solid ones are great. They are apparently good for dust allergies which I have.

My goal with a pillow is that I don’t care how much it costs but it needs to be right for me so I get good quality sleep. I value my sleep far more than the cost of a pillow.

I wouldn’t even focus on BIFL for a pillow. I’d focus on the reviews and finding one that fits the style you sleep and ensures you have a quality sleep. It will drastically improve other areas of your life.

Lee Valley in general is a great merchant that sells mostly good quality stuff.

ops is just a baby 1 tho !!

I've bought my last few pillows at Ikea. They've all been good quality and durable, and Ikea isn't about ripping people off so I don't think their prices are unreasonable for what I'm getting. Plus you can go to one of their stores (if you live near one) and prod at the pillows yourself, and even try one out on one of their beds (they're all in plastic packages if I recall correctly so you're not going to be buying a pillow other people have gotten dirty).

Plus if a pillow doesn't work for you, you can return it. Although I think they have to destroy it at that point so maybe consider keeping it for the sofa or as a spare for guests or something.

Easily my favorite comment ever

It’s your cake day!!

Whatever you end up going with, BUY ANTIMICROBIAL PILLOW PROTECTORS. They will extend the life of your pillows by many years. The generally fall into two categories and a lot of companies make both. The lower quality ones are a variety of poly fabrics and the better quality ones are of tight weave cotton. I find the poly ones tend to hold air so puff up every time you put your head on them and can sound plasticy. The cotton ones don’t do that and are super nice. Either way, I would recommend using a pillow case over that you wash regularly and then wash the covers every month or so.

That’s actually rather gorgeous

I thought you were going to talk about how your wife has still survived since 1998 and you’re stuck with her 😂

Dunno... I just trust.. anyway fires ARE a good reason.. aren't they? Suppose I could sleep on one of those Chinese wooden block things... lol! Anyway I've been exposed to God knows what in my career... still breathing... lol! Thanks.

The My Pillow guy has been trying to share the ‘real truth’ about everything for quite some time now.

/s

The ‘how’ is to spend hours researching and comparing and reading anecdotal events then making a purchase. Trying it. Then returning it. Repeat.

I went searching online for antimacassars a while back and had to wrack my brain for dumbed-down synonym phrases to get any results.

I second the latex.

Your not gonna find one you like without researching the specific material and finding the specific pillows then spending hundreds to thousands ordering and trying them all. That’s what I had to do anyway. I wound up at latex.
