Honestly, this is so funny; I feel like I am a spectator at a pillow fight. On this shopping channel we have the highly-touted "My Pillow" and pillows by our own Lori Greiner. On other shopping channels we are urged to buy pillows by Joy Mangano and now Evine has the BioScience pillows sold by Brookstone. (01-04-18) The BioScience pillows are memory foam . Back to that. Have QVC viewers out there ever tried BioScience pillows? Yay or nay?

Been there done that. DH was never quite satisfied with his pillow. I think he wanted a small rock instead of a pillow, but he tried them all. First My Pillow, which definitely wasn't MY pillow, or his. Gave them away. He tried Lori Greiner's. They did't work either. And he tried Joy's, which went away quickly. Also a Microfiber pillow or two. All I can say is he happily went back to our old down pillows and never complained again. They may "go down" according to the My Pillow guy, but they went back down on our bed and never left again. It's down forever for me.

My husband bought a My Pillow & paid $50 for it. Says he can't see what all the fuss is about! I could care less about having one.

I like my $8 medium pillow from Walmart the best. Not too high and poofy but still soft. I like to sleep on my stomach at times so a thin pillow is best.

Okay, I'm a pillow snob. Bought down pillows and thought that was the only way to go and paid well over $100 per pillow. but then wanted to try something else. Joy's pillow went in the trash almost immediately. My Pillow I fought with until I finally tolerated it and thought I found the perfect pillow. But then I bought Lori's Bambooee and all other pillows went in the trash. Love this pillow. Just ordered another set.

I tried the My Pillows when they 1st were on TV (not Q) and they were awful! I would lay my head on it (side sleeper) and I'd sink down and the edges would puff up smothering me! I fought with it all night long and even tried to sleep on the VERY edge of it trying to stop it from suffocating me but it was impossible and no support. Husband tried his also as it was a 2 pack same experience. He is strong and beat them down back into the packaging so I could sent them back the next day...horrible pillows.

Tried Joy's last time it was a TSV not enough in it to support my neck/shoulder area and hurt my ear. Funny some said it was to thick and the ones I got never did puff up. Again Husband beat them down into to the box....these ones just barley fit in this giant box I had from another order. But we got them in there and back they went....nightmare.

I see Tony Little has that bead one on TV....I tried one just like it think it was the same thing from Bed Bath Beyond....found the bead too hard and hurt my face/head/ear....returned it.

Never tried Lori's reviews all over the place on pillows big risk to take as once they fluff up with air they are truly a nightmare to get back in box for a return.

Right now I have a pillow from The Sleep Store....bought our mattress there and so far it's the best I can find. I have to have proper support between neck/shoulder and that should be for sure no less then 5" depth....most pillows are to low or once you lay on it it goes down too low with no support and your shoulder crunches up.

Perfect pillow? I haven't found one yet if I do I would post about for sure.

I remember sleeping on feather pillows and mattress as a little girl. Feathers used to poke me!

The pillow thing is so funny.

For years all I had was feather pillows when I could not put off getting new ones I got Northern nights with 2" gusset....I was able to treat those just like I wanted,, I am a pillow beater.

Well the last time I needed pillows of coarse the Northern Nights were no longer on QVC. Now what? I got 4 my pillows, Husband is still using one of them but on the second night not falling asleap I reached over and got my NNs.....then one morning I went to turn it over and it tore it was time to get up or I would have had a feather mess for years.....lol

But alas, those cut up pieces of foam in the My Pillow were to hard for me I couldn't get it to be mine.

I did find I thnk Serta pillows and they have been working for me. But husband will have 3 other pillows if he needs them.

I am also the one that can't sleep on a matress that has divots in it. or sewn in lumps. Our mattress is old but very clean cause I have always covered it with 2 blankets, bed sack and the sheet......Husband calls it the princess and the pea syndrome.......lol

LOL@ thread tittle...Pillow Wars! Well, I've tried many pillows and so far, I'm currently using Joy Mangano's pillow which has worked well for me. At first, I loved it so much I bought many for gifts (over the last three) and everybody, with the exception of one couple, loved them. I'm honestly at a point now where I'm wondering if there is a better option as these now feel very firm/heavy to me.

I keep looking at the My Pillow becuse I'm curious but the reviews scare me. Never tried Lori's pillow but I really want to. So, I'm not so sure there is such a thing as a lifetime perfect pillow. I guess as our body changes (and it is always changing) our comfort preferences will as well. If you are fortunate enough to have found your perfect pillow, stay with it!

I doubt that anyone can answer this, but you can purchase a my pillow anywhere now. I have even seen them at Walmart. Is there a difference in the quality?

I have bought the bamboo ones at Walmart, and I will never use anything else. I am always confused at the things Lori sells because I have seen a lot of her products elsewhere and her name is not on them. The Bamboo pillow is one of them.

SleepyTime · ‎08-11-2017

I bought a pair from Costco called Panda Life (I think). Touted bamboo. I have had bamboo sheets before that were great. But I eventually started having neck problems. So 6 months after the fact I returned them to Costco. Glad I didn't buy My pillow.
