I'm in the market for a new pillow. I can't sleep on one pillow, I just wake up with a headache & recently I've been getting a stiff neck with two. I think I need something in between. Saw this on Q 806237 GX Bedding Suspension Medium Pillow www.qvcuk.com/GX-Bedding-Suspension-Medium-Pillow.product.806237.html?sc=SRCH
It's got 70 reviews, 47 of those 5* but it's £27.00 + P&P: £4.95! Seems heck of a lot to me.

I got a new pillow and I like it but I can’t remember what it is. Will have to look upstairs.
It’s a Silent Night 100% polyester hollow fibre with Geltex foam core.
Provides medium firm support. Ideal for Front or Back sleepers Standard size pillow 70 x 45cm Embossed polyester cover/Gel & hollowfibre filling Guaranteed for 2 years
There used to be a mail order company called 'Keys of Clacton' that I used a lot. Both girls had 4' beds & they provided the fitted sheets, even duvets to fit a 4' bed. You could order a duvet in any size. They also did a range of bolster pillows, the smallest starting at 3'. Brilliant they were. I can't find them any more.
I have tried pillows with a core of some kind but usually wake up in the middle of the night with a numb ear and the feeling I've been sleeping on a brick! I confess to having one of those full size, shaped Tempur pillows. £100 it was (back when we had money) but I wouldn't be without it. Of course, if anything happens to it now I'm doomed.
Hope you find what you are looking for - a good sleep is so important and I think your pillow can make or break it.
Thank you EB & Frazz for your suggestions. I'm on the case. The only reason I looked at Q was because of the money back guarantee. I know of nowhere else who would allow you to return a slept on pillow. Even Dunlem warns that if you open packing, you cant return pillows & duvets. I did note a Q reviewer who said it cost her £12 to return the pillow!
My only complaint with the Putnam one is the zip on the cover doesn't last that long as it's a tight fit for getting the pillow in. It's worth getting a spare cover and I recommend the coolmax one rather than jersey.
I got a new pillow from Dunhelm a couple of months ago. It's a memory foam one, but not one of the rock hard boingy ones. It gently supports my head and neck and on the rare occasion that I've gone to bed with a sore neck it's always fine when I wake up. It was £20.
I've tried a number of pillows over the years, including a £48 water filled one, and most of them get binned because they've gone lumpy, are too hard or don't offer enough support.
On another forum, some people have bought the GX pillow and seem impressed with it, but I suppose it's down to personal preference. I just know that the one I've got now is the best one I've had ..... so far.
