I trust these guarantee insomnia-free nights, have a built-in alarm
clock and make coffee?
The pair I bought to replace my antiques were made of genuine,
guaranteed synthetic fibre, they are supremely comfy, and set me back
the princely sum of €14 for the pair. At that price, I don't mind
keeping my old alarm clock and brewing me own java.

My excuse is that I have a considerable problem with the vertebrae in my
neck and that yes, I am sometimes insomniac. In fact, recently I've taken
to sleeping with a small lavender pillow beside me and it seems to make a
difference. But the price I quoted above is less than some other places.

I was joking: excuses are not required :-)

I am very blessed to fall comfortably asleep as soon as I hit the
pillow, and to sleep like a log as a matter of course. Plus I tend to
use the pillows to prop myself up to read in bed, and often sleep
totally flat - so don't mind me.
Ever tried that space technology stuff, which takes the shape of your
body - I think it's called Tempur, or something?

It is an indulgence so I must have some kind of lingering puritanical guilt!

Only in the sense of lying briefly on a friend's bed. She has awful back
trouble and has had a couple of operations. She's also blessed with a lot
of the green folding stuff (or whatever colour it is now!) and she bought a
Tempur mattress. She absolutely swears by it but they really are a horrid
price!

OK. I've scratched my head long enough. What is the "green folding
stuff"?

What.. even worse than Hungarian Alarm Clock Cafetiere Goosedown
Pillows?

Ooohhh! *That* stuff! I didn't know the one you lot so keenly hung on
to was of that shade?

Yep - We've had a memory foam mattress for about three years now - its
fantastic. Personally, I wouldn't want to go back to a trad mattress.
We also have memory foam pillows - which are a strange contoured shape
to fit the countours of your neck and head.

However, I wouldn't pay Tempur prices - apart from trading on their
name, I think they build in cost for a 20 year guarantee into the
prices. I got mine through a guy that buys them direct from a mem foam
factory in Yorkshire (the factory sells them for the same price) - and I
think it was around £5-600 for a super king sized bed. (I think the
trempur ones are well over a grand).

Our daughter is hassling for one now - she keeps trying to stay in our
bed. And at 14, that's not natural

Have you tried those Temur (sp?) pillows but UNDER another pillow? I
know the makers will tssk tssk at that but I have found it better than
sleeping on one on its own, it's just too low for comfort and Tom hates
them as well. However under a good quality feather pillow it gives that
extra boost to support.

Goodness this newsgroup is becoming extraordinarily 'self-help' here
Next thing people will be able to tell me whether the Tassimo or Senseo
coffee makers are any good

No, I haven't tried that but I suppose I could - trouble is what it costs to
buy something that might be a Bad Idea in the end! We use two pillows but
of different 'strengths'.

Tom doubles his pillow over and sleeps on the doubled over edge

Ow! That sounds so uncomfortable! Perhaps we better not get into sleeping
habits...... ;-)

Hi I think goose down is quite a luxury, light as a feather so to speak but you can get allergies if they do not suit you. They will be warm and you could get a low tog 2 and say an 8 tog which will clip and un clip to match the seasons. Make sure the pillow has a really high quality fabric around it so that the feathers do not start to poke out. I found a lot on this site https://www.raymattextiles.co.uk/
