In light of recent discussions, I thought it appropriate to survey the Elite and reach a consensus on the subject.

depends on the brand and the quality i guess. im not gonna get a pillow costing $1 from walmart because it would likely break in a week but i wouldnt go spending $200 on a pillow just because it was made by an expensive company such as Louis Vuitton or Tiffany.

I've worked for a furniture/bedding company since 2006, so I'm quite aware one should never go cheap on a pillow. Our discounts are generous, thus I own a $150 pillow for somewhere between $0.00 and $25.00 :kappa:

wow. I don't use pillows but wouldn't imagine that there's such a demand. I would think if you need one that something like $10 could easily get a fine pillow.
sexy, this

recently around Christmastime I was having a really hard time sleeping.  So I went to Walmart and bought all the pillows.  The $12 king size pillows are really hard to use.  The $8 medium are too hard.  The $4 standard pillows were just perfect.  I bought the $3.33 ones this year for my cottage and they're not quite as good as the $4 ones.

That being said I sleep with at least 4 pillows, up to 6 or 8 pillows.  So the $4 ones do me just fine.

People who sleep with only one pillow, even if it's a $500 pillow, are uncultured swine.  How the heck do you not have one between your knees when you're sleeping?

m8 some of us MOVE in our sleep. Too much of a fuss to keep a pillow tucked in there. We aren't 70+ years old with hip issues nor are we pregnant women.  :v

I use a 2nd pillow as a buffer when Amber puts her leg on top of me at night, otherwise MY leg falls asleep and that's never cool. Otherwise I'm a one-pillow man and I sleep coffin style.

I used to have like 5 pillows and sleep in any position as long as I drowned in pillows, then my back got fucked up and bought 1 expensive pillow (150 euros lol). No problems ever since so well worth the money. I still have a cheap 2nd pillow behind my pillow whenever I want to sit up in bed.
