    Is your pillow a feather one with duck feathers or what not or is it a fluffy one with like cotton wool stuff inside it. I don't know what the name of that one is!

    My pillow is the.cotton wool type

    I have three. Yes three. Siberian goose down. I like pillows.

    I have four. I have no idea what they're made of. Once they're poofy enough that I can sleep with my head essentially at a right angle to my body, I'm happy.

    Don't be obtuse.

    yup I have four too, two very flat ones and two perfectly poofy microfiber downy type ones for putting the flat ones on and sinking into.

    I have two and beyond that I really have no idea.

    Mrs Fortuna regularly goes on about memory foam, or duck feathers, goose feathers, other stuff or ... I just hear Handel's Zadok the priest

    2, both micro fibre.

    I find them better than all the goose and duck down pillows my mother always insisted on. They keep their shape much longer, are softer and just much more comfy.

    I should add I like poofy pillows.

    I use a bosom.

    Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow.

    TIL that people actually discuss and research their type of pillow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,115 ✭✭✭✭bnt


    Memory Foam pillow, €10 from Penneys. Best €10 I've spent in years.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    I love my 'gel' pillow. Have 2 feathery poofy ones, they're grand and all, but I sleep on the gel one,its really cool on summer nights and gives great neck support.

    We used to have feather pillows and a king size feather duvet. Then we discovered that many feather pillows and duvets are made from feathers plucked from live birds. We binned the feather stuff and will never buy anything feather filled again.

    I've stitched together a bunch of kittens.

    This. Plus, I never liked the rustling noises some of those pillows and duvets sometimes make.

    Haven't been able to convert my mum just yet, though ;)

    Might go down the kitten route myself. The bunch of puppies I stitched together are getting smelly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,547 ✭✭✭Foxhound38


    I have one of these, and it's absolutely class

    A ventilated memory foam job, topped by two feathery one's for reading/watching tv in bed.

    The memory foam gives great neck support.

    Had a pillow fight in bed with the wife last night.




    She struggled for quite some time, but I held it down tight until she finally stopped moving.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 809 ✭✭✭Ditch


    We've been down a similar route before .....

    Surely I'm not the only one who doesn't have any pillows :confused:

    My (stupidly large) bosom gets in the way so I have 3 pillows stacked up. All cotton fiber. I'm a stomach sleeper.

    Ah, jaysus :(

    :D

    The one for male one looks even better. It has what looks to be a marigold glove on the hand! :D

    Question: Where do people get rid of old duvets and pillows?

    Most pillows I find don't last that long and duvets eventually die - do you

    *recycle them ( not too sure there is a market for second hand pillow ect)
    *throw in a bin for disposal
    *other

    I can't figure out where they all go tbh :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    Just the one empty pizza box for me. The warmth and lingering odour of that night's pepperoni always puts me out like a light.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,622 ✭✭✭Ruu


    Feathers, only the best when filming those sexy pillow fights.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,646 ✭✭✭✭qo2cj1dsne8y4k


    I have 4. Used to sleep with memory foam pillows but found it terrible on my neck and back. Now I sleep with flat ones on the bottom, just the standard pillows and then 'hotel quality' pillows I got in Harry Corry which have lots of support in it but still feels squishy.

    I don't even sleep on them though, always wake up with my head flat on the bed

    Recycling centre. They don't take them in the green trash afaik.

    I got 2 hypoallergenic pillows. The problem I had with memory foam ones was that they were quite hard. They were the cheapest ones I could find. Everyone now an again I'll buy a new pillow, not like it so girlfriend gets it and I take one of hers.

    We have a fire-fairy in Donegal. You leave the flammable pillows (or mattress, suite of furniture, carpet etc) out at dusk and they are mysteriously reduced to ashes before sunrise and the environmental officer gets out of bed.
