Help with Pillow Choice

Good morning ,Mrs Woo needs some firm pillows and I haven't got a clue which are the best for her,would it be feathers,fibre ect,all the ones I have looked at seem so thin and soft,please could do with your advice,thank you

 

Thanks Pam and Val for your kind replies , Mrs Woo has 4 pillows as she sleeps almost sitting up due to ill health,I am trawling the net but still nothing yet

 

Memory foam are OK, but they have a tendency to hold onto the heat and make you overheat in the summer; some of them (the genuine Tempur for example) are actually quite soft so not to everyone's taste, and they are hellishly expensive.

I'd suggest looking at pillows that have a latex core - Dunlopillow Celestial used to be a pretty good one, but I am not sure if its in production any more or not.

 

Woo, I have a tempur pillow. It's quite firm but molds, to a certain extent, to the head. You should be able to go into a bed store and check the pillows. They'll still be in their plastic, although some stores actually have a few that are unpacked for trying out (they change the pillow case regularly), but will give you an idea of what they're like.

If you're talking about pillows to give her upper body support and not so much just head support, then you may prefer to look at something like this. It's quite firm and works well with any type of pillow or bolster. It saves your upper body from falling sideways when you sleep almost upright.

If you want more details about it I can find out for you.
