Editing How Well Do They Last Though

<br>NotAPepsiBlueFilter(IPromise):Has anyone had any experiences (good or bad) with memory, water, or non-standard pillows ? My neck gets painfully stiff whenever I get up. I'm guessing that it's a combination of stress and the crappiness of my pillows. I was at one of those medical stores looking over the pillows and some of them are quite expensive. I've used a memory-foam pillow since 1997 and have difficulty sleeping without it. Because of my ankylosing spondylitis, I have to sleep flat on my back: a pillow with decent neck support is essential, and a thick ordinary pillow causes me all sorts of hurt. But my needs are rather specific; yours may differ. I've used one of those swiss foam pillows. They're pretty good, but they tend to lose their spring after a few months. For the price, it's not really worth it, I think. Also, on a related note, I get great sleep when I use the chillow.<br>[https://www.smarter.com/article/how-to-convert-spare-closet-into-wine-cellar?ad=dirN&qo=serpIndex&o=740011&origq=spare+oneself smarter.com]<br><br><br>A word of warning - that sucker is heavy. I slept with my arm under it for a few weeks, and my shoulder started to really ache (like, sore for days, reminiscent of being in rehab for shoulder surgery). It eventually faded, but I'd be careful with it. I've been using a memory foam pillow for  [http://47.103.25.197/eula36g883312 Buy Derila Online] years now, and while I thought it was great for a while, I'm realizing that the problems I've been having with neck pain, stiffness and headaches might be because of this pillow. I mostly sleep on my side, and the memory foam pillows don't offer enough support for side sleeping. They're great if you lay on your back (see mcwetboy), but not thick/high/firm enough for laying on your side. My chiropractor recommended that I get one of these. Does anyone have any experience with anything like this? Caviar - the Chillow is awesome! I get really hot at night and the Chillow has been like a miracle.<br><br><br><br>And you're dead on with the weight issue (add that to the already weighty Tempurpedic pillow and you're in trouble). Don't be starting any pillow fights with the Chillow in your pillowcase, or you just might knock someone's head off. One note - by early morning, the entire Chillow is very warm. That's really annoying as that's usually when I'm reaching meltdown temperatures. Response by poster: Holy cow ankylosing spondylitis is damn scary. Quick PubMed, there's anti-self DNA antibodies involved, but it seems like people are trying to use an TNFa-antagonist instead of B cell (the cells that make antibodies - the mediators of rheumatoid diseases) depletion. MsVader - my intuition is suspecting that the fibre will compress down and be useless in a fairly short amount of time. As for the dcore, I'm kinda suspicious (largely unfounded, probably just a prejudice) of chiropractors, but I'm assuming most of their advice is based on facts-based research/observation.<br><br><br><br>I use a buckwheat hull ("soba") pillow, which seems to be a Japanese and Korean thing. There's very little spring to it, but it's not as dead as a bag of sand. I can't sleep on an ordinary fiberfill or foam pillow any more: it feels like my head is balancing on a spring and my neck & shoulders get all tense trying to keep it from rolling around. I've seen soba pillows advertised as "Magic Oriental" deals for way too much money, but you can get 'em cheap at the local Korean market. I'm on my back. I've looked at D-Core-like pillows in person, and they have much more substance on the sides than they do in the central neck area. Seems like the perfect solution. However, I had the same thought you did about the fiber filling flattening over time. I used to be suspicious of chiropractors until I found a really good one that helped reduce the number and severity of my headaches.<br><br><br><br>But, I think it's good to be suspicious until you find someone who really knows what they're doing. My parents now have both the memory pillows and a memory mattress pad (or maybe a whole mattress?) and love it. I'm a side sleeper and I can't deal with the memory foam pillows. It's like sleeping on a brick and in the morning my ears are tender from getting squished. Foam cervical pillows are just right for me, though. I'll second the buckwheat pillows. They aren't springy but are form fitting and give 100% support without your neck fighting the pillow all night. I liike a goose down pillow (not those horrid feather pillows) because it's warmer but when I have a sore neck from driving or something I reach for the buckwheat. Response by poster: Hmm, thanks for the experiences everyone. I think that I might have to plunk down the cash and go for the down pillows. How well do they last, though?<br>
