I need a new memory foam pillow Login/Join 
Serenity now!

I've been using the same memory foam pillow for about 4-5 years, but recently I started waking up with neck and shoulder pain, so now I'm looking for something new. I like firm memory foam with cooling gel - I can't sleep on a warm pillow. I've seen some contoured pillows, anyone use one? Or have a recommendation on a good pillow to try?



Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice - pull down your pants and slide on the ice.

"Cooling Gel" is cool when you first make contact, but warms up from your body heat. FAIL





If you're goin' through hell, keep on going.
Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

I have Ghostbed pillows... both their side sleeper and back sleeper varieties... I recommend them. Both are the "cooling" type...although that particular feature isn't important to me.

You can usually find these on sale, but we take these with us on vacation as we can’t sleep without them. I had one and my wife’s neck hurt and she borrowed mine and I never got it back so I ordered another. We have one in our guest room and everyone who sleeps in there buys one. It sells itself.

Thanks for the recommendation, I ordered this one

Four nights so far, I love it more than my other. This is a King size, which is what I should have bought in the first place.

You should try a MyPillow

I was skeptical of all the hype until a few years ago when I bought one for myself and my spouse and they are the best pillow I've ever used. This from a guy who used to buy the $100 Tempur-Pedic pillows.

It's basically a pillow filled with cubes or chunks of memory foam and it shifts and molds to your head and neck. They come in different levels of firmness too.

The MyPillow? You should have given yourself a couple days to get accustomed to it. I felt that way the first night too but within a couple days was loving it. It's a completely different animal than a pillow full of feathers or fill or a solid foam pillow.

You're just going to have to cut it open to get those memories back.




"The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford, "it is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards."
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in."

I’m not one to ask, more than a few times I’ve rolled my jacket up to use as a pillow.

I’m also not one to carry my favorite pillow on a trip, cuz it’s the best.

Yes, I have a soft spot for the ‘my pillow’ guy. After all he’s been through I buy from him if I can. I have his slippers on right now. I’m not even saying they’re ‘the best’, but they work for me.

As a youngster I always liked a feather pillow but as I aged I found I needed something better. I bought a Qutool memory foam pillow. It's not a one solid hunk of foam it's filled with a bunch of thin strips of foam and has a cool side and a heat side. If it's to fat for your comfort it can be adjusted by taking some of the foam strips out. It's excellent for side sleepers. I love mine and sleep much better since I bought mine
