They are expensive and I think the only thing putting me off is they have to be dry cleaned.

I spent a small fortune on Tempur pillows, but the sweaty head problem persisted.<br />Then I was told to try wool, it keeps your head cooler (I know, it sounds daft, wool would surely keep you warmer!) and is brilliantly comfy.<br />They are usually washable/jiggle-able, and can if necessary be picked open and the wool re-distributed for maximum comfort.<br />I treated myself to an Alpaca wool pillow a few months ago and it's wonderful, comfy, right amount of support, keeps my head cool, the only drawback is that they have to be dry cleaned. I may have to save up and get another one so that whilst one is being cleaned, I still have my comfort!<br />We have had our times of having to buy cheap mattresses and pillows, but when you consider how much of your life is spent in bed, it's definitely worth paying out as much as you can afford to get comfort and good, refreshing sleep.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-24190191817401215942015-10-15T14:48:49.010+01:002015-10-15T14:48:49.010+01:00True then when you come to buy another they can...True then when you come to buy another they can't be found.Dchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490191919855219024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-74831023899765356952015-10-15T14:47:58.464+01:002015-10-15T14:47:58.464+01:00In some shops they don't even have one of ever...In some shops they don't even have one of every type out to squeeze!Dchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490191919855219024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-12932177891047821382015-10-15T14:46:04.789+01:002015-10-15T14:46:04.789+01:00Or lumps anywhere - hey ho!Or lumps anywhere - hey ho!Dchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490191919855219024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-45854042578673941592015-10-14T23:27:36.107+01:002015-10-14T23:27:36.107+01:00Pillows drive me crazy, it seems like it is the ne...Pillows drive me crazy, it seems like it is the never ending search for just the 'right' one.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12465050441931715127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-32880324292642399322015-10-14T22:53:50.697+01:002015-10-14T22:53:50.697+01:00I'm the same over pillows and for months my ne...I'm the same over pillows and for months my neck was so stiff I could not turn easily to look up the road at junctions when driving! Finally found some pillows with "clusters" of foam (a half price, even so £25!). And just having one of these seems to work. I think I was quite a sight in the shop - went round every pillow on display squeezing, puffing and folding till I found the firm ones! Surprised I was not thrown out!TrishWishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12133314088190424463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-10248523762900487862015-10-14T21:23:03.208+01:002015-10-14T21:23:03.208+01:00Oh dear...can't be doing with lumpy uncomforta...Oh dear...can't be doing with lumpy uncomfortable pillows!
