Anybody can please tell me where I could find a sleeping pillow like this? What i like about this down pillow is that it looks high on the sides so your head has more support when laying on your side. I live in Europe (Belgium) so it needs to be an online shop that sends to Europe like Amazon. Found this pic some time ago on the site of an American bed store. I hope Americans on this site can help with this cause in Europe pillows are alot smaller. Thanks in advance for all good suggestions! I'm a terrible sleeper so a better pillow like this could really save my life.

I'm getting a neck ache just looking at that. Need a relatively thin pillow that allows the head to lay flat, not at a weird angle.

I have been sleeping with feather pillows since I remember. Wouldn't have it any other way. I just pick them up at the local store though. Usually they are too fluffy though and I have to cut up and toss 1/3 of the feathers.

If you sleep on your side then your head can use some support.

What's special about that pillow? I'd go to a bedding store, and pick one out that meets your standards.

Most pillows i found roll off on the sides, this one seems to have some height on the sides. Can you maybe show me a pillow like this on Amazon or elsewhere cause i can't find one.

That pillow doesn't really exist. It was bent and arranged using hard supports to look like that for the photo, to isolate the background around the girl's head an show off the pillow. So, you're probably not going to find anything exactly like it anymore than you are going to get a Quarter Pounder that looks as good as the one on the billboard.

Relax the Back has a ContourSide pillow that might work for you, but you'll have to do your own research. Bitching at ATOT that nobody if giving you helpful feedback is about the best way to ensure people won't want to help you.

I think it might just be the way she's laying on it, but I have seen sculpted pillows. Try searching "memory foam pillow". That'll probably give you something, but I wouldn't like a foam pillow.

Looks like a standard pillow..
Possibly down...but not necessarily.

Those should be available at most bedding stores...or from the local Amazon site.

Thanks for the reply. Just wondering but what are "hard supports" that you say where being used?

A physical therapist at my HMO measured me. It was a couple months ago, was a neck class, and she did this for everyone. I stand and she puts a long stick held vertically up against my spine and back of the head and observes the space between. Her pronouncement: I need a double thickness pillow.

As a photographer, I can assure you there are some kind of supports under both that pillow and the models head. Showing how the pillow naturally lays on a flat bed or how the head would naturally rest on it are not even considerations, just making the pillow and model look good are. So if you can't find one like it I wouldn't be too surprised.

I bought over 25 pillows of every type, before I found the one that worked for me: Korean buckwheat pillows.

1. It doesn't ever go flat like foam eventually will.

2. It's all natural.

3. It naturally is cooling.

4. It will always stay firm.

5. I can shape it to what I want. I like to put a divot in the middle of my pillow like this:

It helps keep my head in place.

They look like this:

and come in various heights and densities.

I'll reiterate: You can tell nothing about the pillow from that photo.

Surely it can't be that difficult in Belgium to find a pillow designed for side sleepers. They're typically: firm to very firm, and they often have a side gusset. Something like this:

Got a problem? Or do you need one?

Oh no, are you going to chew him out?!?! Uh-oh, better watch out, John Connor might chew someone out!

Only YOU can determine what works. Include My Pillow in your research.

Or you could just take a foam pillow and cut it up into pieces as that's what those pillows are.

OP just trying to bypass babe thread rules in a not-so-subtle way. :colbert:

Has to be. Its so blatantly obvious it looks that way because of how it is folded. Has the OP only ever been using accent/decor pillows or something? But then there's even some of them that have quite a bit of give and could be folded.

Where is that image even from, Google can't find it. I assumed it was a crop from some movie

Is there a problem buying a goose down pillow in the EU? Btw, if you have allergies, don't do this. I do, and I've used foam rubber pillows since a toddler.
