I went to a furniture store with a friend to pass the time before she had to pick up her boyfriend up from work, and we were looking at the mattresses since she was thinking about buying a new one. The Purple mattresses were consistently disgusting feeling. They were made out of gel material and felt like those stress balls you get out of a gumball machine. I decided to test what it's like falling into the bed and as soon as my arms touched the mattress I knew it was a mistake. It felt like nails on a chalkboard. I would never be able to sleep in one of those beds unless I was wearing long sleeves, and maybe not even then. If I had a girlfriend who had one of those beds, I'd rather fuck her on the floor or just have her come to my place exclusively. They were also selling pillows from the same company, and they were heavy and the texture was even more noticeable.

I agree that pillows are very individualized, but Iβm going to add my pillow choice out there since everyone else seems to be!
Iβm very hot natured, so I found the GhostBed Pillow that stays cool during the night. Add to it that itβs just the right amount of firmness for me, and I love it.
On the pillows, Iβve never had any good luck buying pillows in the past. I tried Beckham Hotel Collection recently because it was the best seller on Amazon, and I figured why not. The king size is definitely the comfier pillow. Itβs fluffy but it also gives and sinks in just the right amount. And it wasnβt even nearly the most expensive pillow I was looking at. YMMV but may be worth a shot.
Repeating the name of the person you were just introduced to remember it. As in "Hello EfreetSK, nice to meet you". Doesn't work for me, writing it down afterwards does if I can still remember it
For this situation - my wife and I got coop home goods pillows. Expensive, but sooo worth it. You can add or remove filling from them for firmer or softer, they're not solid memory foam so you won't overheat as easily, and just overall very comfy pillows. A high quality mattress is a great investment too, unfortunately they're expensive. I got a purple mattress 3 or 4 years ago and it ruined regular and memory foam mattresses for me because it's squishy enough to mold to me and be comfy but still give my back support it needs, and is cool enough that I don't overheat. Pillows and mattress were not cheap, but I'd pay double what I did with how much they helped my neck and back at night
Ha, I just recommended Coop Home Goods as well before I read your comment. Best pillows ever.
Hey going off the pillow thing, I was in the same boat until I found a thin pillow. I've never been a memory foam or tempurpedic guy, but this pillow changed my sleep. Sorry of I sound like s shill but I love sleep.
What they meant to say was "Buy a Coop Home Goods Eden Pillow". We have four on our bed and two full body pillows as well. Can't sleep on anything else now, always take at least one when I travel.
Do one even need pillows? I have been pillowless for more than a decade now
For sleeping on your side you do, unless you're a fan of sore necks
Maybe I got got by an ad who knows, but I will say this. Pillow cube is the best sleep I have ever had
Probably but I'm reading this with my pillow folded over. It will probably be good for me but not at that markup. Damn, it's memory foam not expensive materials.
