Good luck.

What's your sleep position? Side, back, stomach?

We've been using King sized "real" down pillows for literally years. Never a problem.

My allergies don't like feathers/down, but that's what I'd use if I could. I'm OK with DH using these; I just can't sleep on them. He uses two. One is almost a pancake in the morning, so I don't see how useful it is, but he insists he couldn't roll that one's down in with the plumper one and be happy.

I'm a side sleeper. Last time I pillow shopped, I took my old pillow so I could compare the softness/feel. my pillow is super soft and mushy. If you lay it flat it doesn't puff up at all. I think it's down or some type of down alternative.

Looking at my current pillow tags, it's by Joseph Abboud and it's feather & down.

I would never sleep on a bargain find at Costco.

Costco usually has great quality goods.

graywings, I disagree. I'm a side sleeper too and the filling makes all the difference for me. I'm uncomfortable with polyester or any kind of foam, whether solid or pieces.

I have had a hard time with various pillows in the past several years. I also can’t use down and have dust mite allergies which mean I wash pillows and encasements frequently, plus I have had some neck pain due to muscle imbalance which I have fairly successfully treated. I bought a Biosense pillow for side sleepers at BBB and it is fabulous. Not cheap but with a 20% off coupon it’s tolerable. Best pillow I’ve ever bought.

I must be an unclean person. I never wash my pillows. They are feather ones encased in a zippered cotton case which I do wash and under my pillow case which I wash every week. I am the only one ever in my bed and none of my five pets are ever on the bed which is very high. Every night before bed ,I have a bubble bath and never go to bed without a bath so I don't feel that my pillows need washing. I do shake them out.

I use 2 feather pillows. I fold when I want a bit of extra height. I use one at a time. They are both skinny. I don't wash the pillows per se but I do stick them in the freezer for 48 hours each which is supposed to kill anything as long as you move the innards around. The cases get washed once a week.

If you tried sleeping with the pillow can it still be returned? That gives me the shivers now wondering who may have tested the pillow I may be buying. LOL

Lily. Look up bed mites. Everyone has them.

My mites apparently like me...lol

Yes, one of many great things about Costco is their return policy :-)

Nest bedding and Parachute Home have favorable return policies.

Last year we tried pillows offered by TCS. Firm? Hardly. My face was on the mattress in less than 10 seconds. Some pillow vendors have NO clue about pillows and sleep positions.

I also bought the Biosense for side sleepers at BB&B and can'tsleep without it, it goes everywhere with me!

I always take my pillow. Who knows who's been slobbering and shedding on the hotel B&B pillow.
