tempur pillows - are they really good?

Well, when I go shopping for pillows, I will always dress casual enough to be able to lie down and try the pillow. Best places to try pillows are at Robinson and Takashimaya. I have also tried various pillows from all the various brands and finally settled for a microgel one. I have tried the pillow from Tempur. Personally I do not like it. The sinking feeling of my head whenever I lie on the memory foam pillow, just turns me off. Especially when I already have a headache, the slow jerky feeling of the head settling down on the pillow is just too much for me to bear. Even after the head has settled, when you turn to your side, the whole process repeats itself. There are people who swear by Tempur. But I am not a big fan of memory foam, be it pillow or mattresses. Takashimaya at Orchard has a whole range of neck support pillows from Tempur that you can try out on. Dress in a loose comfortable T-shirt and a pair of comfy jeans when you go down to try the pillows. Then you will be able to judge for yourself if Tempur pillows are for you or not.

You know what?! I bought a friggin pillow, that cost me $130.00, that was the biggest piece of s**T, I ever purchased in my life! I have problems with pillow too. (Headache and all). I usually buy feather pillows, cut them open, take out some feathers, then sow them back up. That's the only thing I can do to avoid all the bad things that accompany a new pillow. Gheez! Can't sleep on any hotel pillow at all, gotta bring my whimpy ,lame, feathered pillow. If you figure sumpin out, could you let me know? I feel like you do......... :o) Marilyn

YES they are good, but you have to try it out at the store to be sure you will like it. You may want two pillows, a tempur pedic AND a regular pillow. Sometimes the tempur material is the only thing that will truley let your head and neck relax, other times I find I'd rather a regular pillow. I bought my dad the regular tempur pillw (the one where the neck part is bigger than the head part), but I personally love the tempur pillows that LOOK and are SHAPED like regular pillows. The one I like is the Comfort Pillow but I see on the site there are many more options now. Yes it is pricy, and unfortunately I've never seen the prices change EVER! I can't believe there is never a sale or anything on tempur pillows at the stores I shop at. Just be careful not to spill anything on it b/c I've heard they can get ruined if they get soaked with liquid.

i have a really great simmons pillow called Deepsleep. it really propels me into deep sleep. personally when I was deciding on beds and pillows i came across tempur but wasn't convinced to invest in it. it's this whole memory foam technology but I think it tends to sag after a while. and my simmons pillow is the best I've ever slept on, so I'd recommend that.

i like my pillows too ,but the feather down is so hot not suit me ,i have two buckwheat hull pillows ,it is very nice ,when the summer coming ,i will take water pillow ,it is very cold and soft .do u know that ?if u have neck ache ,or headache ,you must take other pillows ,just like chrysanthemum ,it is very nice for headache .u know ,when the autumn begin ,the chrysanthemum all blossom out at the montane . when u wake up u feel not good for head ,u can use chinese traditional medicine pillows ,if u can speak chinese ,u can make phone to 0086-13345088817 or 0086-400-713-6688 .if u need help ,u could send message to me :zzzng@163.com. my friend usually take it ,is cost no other than 100$.if u want it ,i will mailing for u .

I have a Sensafoam pillow. It costs about $80. I love it. I take it EVERYWHERE with me and can not sleep without it. I've never tried any other type of memory foam pillows so I can't compare it. However I did lie on a tempur mattress once and thought it was pretty hard and nothing like my pillow.

I have a memory foam pillow that is much cheaper and I think it does about the same thing. My husband sells it among other Innovage products for only $15. I don't know what stores might have them where you are. Here in the U.S. Walgreen's carry alot of their products. The only problem I found with the memory foam pillows is that they are a bit smaller than I like.

Try sleeping without the pillow. Maybe it will take a few days while you will be able to fall asleep. I tried it last summer. The better solution I found was holding the pillow in my hand (like when you are sleeping with someone :)) and my head was directly on the bed. Now I am able to fall asleep with or without a pillow and I have no headache on the mornings. Are you doing some sport ? If not, just do it ... Maybe your problems are connected with neck muscle weakness.

I love the tempurpedic brand pillows...love love love them. When I go elsewhere and sleep on any other pillow, I end up with a neck ache. Recently, I bought a knock off at IKEA--super cheap, like 2.50 and they are stiffer but I like them as well. These really seem to suppport my neck correctly.
