What I usually do with this thread is to point out good prices on memory foam pillows. But it is just waaaay too hard to say "this is a good pillow" or "I love this one" because I've learned over the past year that everyone likes something different. Memory Foam Pillows really do have the "Goldilocks Syndrome." Of course this holds true for any pillow (which is why a lot of places sell "soft," "medium," "firm," etc.).
So the best thing to do is read this thread for the most "current" deals and hopefully they are in a B&M store that you can go and actually feel the pillow (AND have the ability to return it if you hate it). Brookstone has an *Excellent* return policy on Tempur-Pedic pillows. I tried that new "Comfortpillow" that they have and HATED it. I returned it after two weeks with NO questions asked.
Bed Bath & Beyond also seems to have a pretty good return policy, as does Linens N Things.
The place that you will be stuck though is eBay....you're pretty much buying it for good (clean it up and give it as a gift if you don't like it...evil!!! heh heh). For instance the pillow that I praised only last Friday is now already sucking. It's getting HARDER every day! I've never seen foam start to get so hard...and so quickly. I really have to squeese it now to get it to soften. I do notice that by morning it feels better though. So maybe it has something to do with the colder weather here in SoCal.
At any rate, I still say that The Sharper Image Memory Foam pillow is my favorite. But for some reason, the ViscoElastic Bug has bitten me again and I've started ordering different versions from eBay. As I mentioned I got that Chinese one on Friday (the hard one), and now I've ordered one from eBay called the "Mör by Somnigbjorn" Swedish Memory Foam Pillow. They have pretty nice ads on eBay, so I decided to order. This pillow is different because it is has a "Lavender Scented" case. I know that I wouldn't like that, so I asked if I could get it without the "scent" and they said that would be fine. I should have it by Friday (a new pillow every week I say!!! heh heh). This company just started on eBay (they have ZERO feedback) so hopefully I won't get screwed and end up with $30 of air.
So keep checking the thread for good deals and try it out in the store! That's the best I can say.
Incidentally, the only deal on pillows I know of right now is this from smartbargains:
Comfort Zone Memory Foam Pillow $24.99. This is the same pillow as the Isotonic, and the same one sold at JCPenney (also called Comfort Zone) and at Macy's (Charter Collection Memory Foam Pillow). Anything that states it is made by the Carpenter Company is pretty good (although personally, Isotonic Pillows are too thick and dense for me). Isotonic pillows usually sell for about $59.99 so this deal at SmartBargains is pretty dang good.
Hope that helps!
