pillow!

Please recommend an allergy-friendly one to replace my old down one. I'm a side sleeper.

 

Thanks.

Oh. Sorry. 😁

We like foam pillows.

Buckwheat Hull?  kapok?

Latex foam

I got my last ones from the Marriot Hotel bedding folks.  I stayed at the Marriot in Houston and liked their pillows so much that my husband tracked them down to give me for my birthday.

After years of screwing around with so many types, I now walk into Walmart and buy their $7-12 pillow and call it good. I think they're Serta something. The main thing for me is just to replace it as it goes flat. 

Maybe pay less and replace more often?

PS. I really like the pillows Carnival cruise line uses. You can buy them on their website.

I have a “my pillow”.  It fluffs up really well and I can wash it without it getting wonky.

That’s what I do, except I get the super cheap one because I like a flat-ish pillow.  I replace it often and that works for me.

I'm a side-sleeper too but I have neck issues.  I like those memory foam contour pillows... like this:

I cannot sleep well with any kind of traditional pillow.

I've also just begun using silk pillow cases because I keep hearing how it it better at helping prevent hair breakage.  I have a lot of breakage on that side of my head.  I'll know in a few months if it really works though.

This is what I do now too.  I wasted way too much money on pillows and the expensive ones didn't work any better for us than the cheap ones.

Soft density latex foam!!! They never go flat. Hypoallergenic. I love a good down pillow, but nothing compares to latex. BBB used to have them. And I've also seen them at Macy's. Or sleeponlatex.com

I haven't liked foam ones I've tried in the past. I think I will go for buckwheat. Thanks, all.
