Pillow Talk

I bought a bamboo pillow a few years ago. Didn't even last one night with it, it was so uncomfortable!! Never again

Hi @Romla
Thanks for that warning.  I would think many ladies are trying these products so it is nice to have some advice of possible issues.

I have cervical spine damage so am careful about pillows.The worst for me are memory foam like sleeping on concrete. Also just a caution be wary of “bamboo” pillows - been a lot of serious allergies reported about new bamboo fabrics esp in uniforms .

Hello ladies
I used the new Denton's Medi Rest pillow last night and slept well.  I am hoping this was the cause of my bad sleep.
Thanks @primek, I did try a Dunlopillow (cost was enormous, well over $100 with 40% off) and found it far too hard with no give at all.  Had cooling gel but that was not at all cool !  Gotta laugh.

My pillow is a dunlopillow...latex. when I said it flattened I mean it wasn't hard when your head on it. It springs right back. 

Hi @Romla
Yes, thank you.  I went down there but they don't keep them in store (I am in regional Vic) but Myer also had them on sale which is great news - saved $40.
Hopefully I will sleep better tonight - wish me luck as I have run out of sheep to count !
The new pillow is firmer and higher than the other so the hot flushes have deteriorated the pillow but I reckon 7 years is pretty good.
Thanks again everyone for your help.

@Summerhill38 just noticed Harris Scarfe having a sale on Dentons

Hello ladies
Thank you all for your support on this subject.  I have spoken with Denton's who have advised the MediRest pillow so I will give that a go now.
@Zoffiel - I can imagine you cuddled up to a sheep now !
@Romla - Being in regional Victoria I've not heard of those stores so will research their whereabouts.
@Afraser - Great minds think alike !!!  Denton's say they have not changed at all.
@AllyJay - When my arthritis is bad I use a body pillow for the same purpose and that is great as it also gives me relief from the lymphoedema as it reaches all the way along.  For my shoulder/arm I sometimes get relief by sleeping at the far side of the bed with my shoulder over the edge and arm hanging out.
@iserbrown - My tummy is only for a few minutes and not every night.
Thanks again

Sleeping on the tummy is a tut tut as it puts pressure on the spine!  I was advised against this from the Neurologist.  I damaged my spine from this form of sleeping and suffered a prolapse in the neck!  So please think about why you are sleeping in that position!

As to pillow we use the Killarney Linen from Harris Scarfe

I have a terrific pillow I bought at least seven years ago after a brief neck problem. Keeps its shape, easy to look after, great support. Your posts have made me go and look what brand it is and yes, it's a Dentons! Perhaps I'd better buy a new one before they change too much!
