No, I would never pay $90 for a pillow EVER!!!!!
But we bought a new mattress and have had some issues so along with a discount and now we are on our 3rd mattress (hopefully the last) they gave us these Sealy Optimum pillows/ they sell for $150 in the store and $90 on Amazon.

They have this cooling gel panel that is so awesome feels so nice and cool. But for sleeping it is way to hard. The fella at the store says they take awhile to break in. I use it as a back pillow to watch TV at night no shirt and propped up against this thing is awesome.

Maybe using it as back pillow will help break it in to actually be useable as a sleeping pillow.

Maybe just store them in the van.

I used to have a pillow that had beans in it. Not super "comfy", but it did allow more airflow around my head, and kept my neck and head cooler.

Don't leave valuables in a vehicle!

I bought a form pillow with some cooling gel thing on it at Costco a couple years ago. It was about 30 bucks. I love the thing but it's not that stiff. Just right for me.

Pillows are a person thing. People like different things.

I also have an older form pillow that is like you describe. It never got any softer. Never been able to sleep with it but keep it as a nice backrest.

If he only bought two he'll need two more...
One to block each of those ugly wheels.

My stepdad used a home made pillow. Filled it with shelled dry corn.

Yup I had one of those. The mount Fuji Sobakawa pillow or whatever. Buckwheat hulls. Came in handy in a pillow fight and I recall I did like it.

As strange as it is, I had a bean pillow as well but could not sleep comfortably with it as the sound of the beans moving around would wake me up. It also weighed a ton.

Pillows in the van will come in handy, when you are living in it down by the river

Anyone using My Pillow? Been hearing how great they are on radio.

I wouldn't balk at spending $90 on a pillow. Sleep, comfort and my back are damn near priceless.

I've got one. It's OK; a bit lumpy and not my favorite.


I had a really nice down pillow I bought years ago - it's beyond worn out now. The company went out of business and haven't found a suitable replacement just yet. I may try a buckwheat filled pillow next.

Interesting topic.
On Saturday, I purchased a Serta "blah blah blah" pillow from WallyMart. Threw the package away, but it was some kind of cooling pillow that was selling for $7.99. I actually questioned whether I should drop that much coin on a fricking pillow, but I threw caution to the wind....

Two days later, I'll admit I've been sleeping better, and my stiff neck is feeling much, much better. This pillow works great compared to the $25 "gel" pillow someone in my family purchased for me at Sam's.

I've got one of those Serta pillows, and it's fantastic. I put out a bunch of heat, and I've always had trouble sleeping because my head warms up the pillow so much, have to keep flipping it over and over. I tell ye what, that $8 was some of the best money I ever spent.

My mother has them at her house and I do not like them.

On the other hand Homedics makes one that is similar but much better and far cheaper.

They used to be at Sams for $10 for a 2 pack people must have realized how awesome they are because they are sold out almost everywhere I see online or more expensive.

I bought 2 king sized ones, as much as I tried to like them for a month, I simply could not get over the chunky feeling lumps inside of them they use as fill. I gave up on them after dropping plenty of coin on them.

I have a memory foam pillow and over time they do soften up.

Put them in the guest room and leave the price tags on

My wife's been on a search for the perfect pillow ever since I've known her. We've had buckwheat hull pillows, sobakowa pillows, down & every kind of contour pillows imagineable.

She bought a couple My Pillows about three years ago & we're still sleeping on them, so they must be good.
