100 dollar pillow...

You gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers. I got a $300 pillow. Hell yes I'm flexing it, the feeling it gives my body justifies it.

I sleep on a cheap, thin mattress on the floor with no bed frame or anything, and have just some cheapest Ikea pillows and blankets. I used to have even thinner mattress, but then I lost more weight and my bones started hitting the floor because it was also dented pretty badly, so I had to switch to this one.

I feel like I'm kinda choking and constantly falling if I have a proper bed and proper pillows, so this weird asceticism works for me. I guess that goes to show people can be extremely different

What makes a good pillow worth spending on? I don't mind buying expensive bedding but I want to know it's actually worth it if I do.

For me it was my tossing and turning to get comfortable which became neck and back pain in the morning. I read about pillows helping and realized I've been using the same Walmart pillow for years. Did some research then tried it out and bought it immediately. I sleep better, no more pain in the morning, and my sheets aren't being ripped off at night from my trying to get comfortable.

you dont have memory pillows, i think those are better for necks.

No it's the memory type stuff. That's basically what tempurpedics whole thing is.

Well, don’t just tease! Does the fucking pillow work? If yes, what’s the brand?

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh fuck yeah it works. It's a tempurpedic Breeze Pro king size. Haven't had neck pain waking up even once since I got it back in October. Absolutely worth it for me. Plus it keeps cool which is tits.

Make sure it suits your style of sleeping. They have many options for different needs. They're all fantastic but this was best for me.

I’m looking at them now and realizing I may need to go to a store to try them out.

Also they ship direct from factory so don't expect to buy one same day

Def recommend that. That's what I did. But keep in mind, at mattress stores those pillows are usually fully broken in. It can take a few weeks for the pillow to fully break in so if you get one and doesn't feel the same that's why. I see a lot of negative reviews from people not reading the material included with it. If it feels good broken in at the store it will still be great brand new but it gets better. Also recommend running it in the dryer a few times with something scented because the foam has a smell from the factory that lingers a long while otherwise.

eeesh. I have a $70 pillowcase, but the pillow itself is still just trash.

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Get you a good pillow for your style of sleeping. My next big purchase will be a super nice pillow case. What you got?

[–] NannerBanner@literature.cafe 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's silk, because apparently it's the least likely material to rip out fine hair when sleeping. As for the pillow being trash, it's what I like. I can fold it, double it, squash it, twist it into a bowtie inside of the pillowcase, and it works great and I don't have to feel like I'm messing it up.

My wife is the same way. Her pillow is like the saddest thing I've ever seen but it's perfect for her
