    I have a barley pillow that’s a bout 20 years old by now. It is a DEEP yellow, is covered in bloodstains from childhood bloody noses. My fiance and I both prefer it over any other pillow, and so we have shared custody of this thing. A good thick pillowcase covers the war-crimes.

    This type of pillow is mainly for people sleeping on their side. Naturally it doesn’t feel right when lying flat on the back.

      I have one of those just like in this comic. It has two different heights - the taller one is perfect for sleeping on the side, the flat on is good for sleeping on the back.

      Needs getting used to though. I wouldn’t go back to a traditional pillow ever again.

        This is more important, afaik, you need to use it for a month at least (this fact doesn’t help in finding a good pillow, unfortunately)

    You guys know that you can clean pillows by soaking them in warm water with borax right? Like there is no reason for a pillow to ever look like this. My pillow is easy over 15 years old and still white.

    I spent $700 in pillows one year.

    sleeping on my original nasty pillow.

    I swear they only sell good pillows in cycles and the rest of the time they sell the worst trash and call it a pillow.

      Pillows suck because good ones are like $100 AND there’s a lot of variety that is hard to understand.

    Pillow cases usually come with sheets. Also you should be putting sheets on your bed.

    I don’t know why everyone doesn’t use an allergy cover with their pillows. Keeps pillows clean and dust mites away from face while sleeping.

    We just buy the very simple unfancy ones and just get them every couple years when they invariably become a teeny tiny slice of pillow, crushed into oblivion.

    I change my pillowcases often enough they aren’t like that scary yellow though
