I am loving my JCPENNY Memory Form Pillow. It is on sale now for under $20. You can try and see if you like it.

They make sleeping pillows like giant blown up balloons - your head is 6 inches above your shoulders. I tried many too and suffered constant shoulder/neck pain for months. I finally opened pillow up - enough to get hand through and pulled and pulled half the stuffing out & in the trash. Reduced filling allows you to customize your sleeping position. Best thing I ever did - stop buying more - make what you have softer. Good Luck

I use a down pillow because of a bad neck and the last one I got (which I love) was from JC Penney. It wasn't cheap but it's been well worth it. My physical therapist advised me that down was best for my problems.

I have a purple pillow. I've actually used it for a year. I can't believe that I have slept on the same pillow now for that long as I have not been able to find one that doesn't kill me. I've tried them all too! The purple pillow is $99 from their site, purple mattress, and is heavy because it is the memory gel material the mattress is made of. I is cooler than most cooling pillows out on the market, but isn't without being flipped with my night sweats due to my low thyroid. I only flip it when I wake, so I'm not waking because of it. I have found that 300-400 thread count sheets are better for air flow than high count sheets. I stick to cotton only. Cotton pillow cases are great for air flow, so keep to those. I do also agree with the poster who said she took some of the stuffing out of her pillow and now loves it. Go for that. What have you got to lose if it doesn't work out. I have a closet full of old pillows that don't work for me.

@mollymaggie, I have a Casper pillow and it is the best one that I have ever had. I purchased it directly from the company, but QVC carries the Casper mattress so they may also have their pillows in stock. If you go through the company, they should have a first-time buyer discount.

I love my Joy Mangano pillows and have been using them for quite some time now. They work really well for me. I'd consider new ones, but reviews seem to indicate that the newer ones are not at good as the older version (which happens in so many cases!).

You name it I've tried it. LOL!!!

So far out of all the pillows I have tried latex is the only one I like.

They have solid or shredded, natural or synthetic. Synthetic are made from petrochemicals.

I have a solid natural latex pillow. Natural latex is resistant to mold, dust mites & is hypoallergenic.

Natural will cost more then the synthetic.

I'm a side sleeper & latex is pretty much they only pillow I have found that supports my head/neck so I don't wake up with neck pain.

I love my down pillow from Cuddledown. I've used down pillows for about 15 years. Before then I tried Memory Foam, down alternative and just regular pillows. Down seems to work best for me.

I tried MY PILLOW and was not impressed. Out of desperation, a few months later, I gave it another go and now I won’t sleep on anything else. My morning neck pain is completely gone! For me there was a bit of a learning curve.

I like a cocktail of two feather pillows atop a thin styrofoam one.

Good luck finding the holy grail, @mollymaggie.

I second fthunt's suggestion. I bought the two My Pillows TSV. They were too thick for me, but I opened them up, took out several handfuls of stuffing (what a mess with bits of foam everywhere, but worth it,) then sewed them up. With some stuffing removed they were perfectly sized for my smaller frame and much more comfortable. I used the leftover stuffing to make a small travel sized pillow for the couch, I just cut and sewed up an old t-shirt for the foam stuffing cover and put a nicer pillowcase tucked in like an envelope over that, but I could have bought a travel sized pillow protector for the cover instead of sewing it myself. I'm pretty cheap.

I haven't used any pillow except the Tony Little microbead pillows from HSN for years. They have them on sale a couple times a year. There are other similar pillows but his are bigger and fuller. Very much like sleeping on a down pillow but they dont crush or flatten. Seems like they'd last forever. Once you settle your head and neck to suit yourself, they hold that shape all night.

@mollymaggie Have you tried Tony Little? I tried so many, but finally found pillows that work for me, love them.

I have three of them and they seem to have gotten too firm since washing them. I assume maybe the covers shrank? I am glad I read your posting and I will try taking out some stuffing before spending money to find the right pilllows. Tired of waking up with neck and shoulder pain. I have a memory foam pillow which is supposed to be cooling but makes me sweat for some reason. I am changing pillows all night long and need a solution!
