Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Kathe, Last week when I was at Sams they had the memory foam pillows and some pads and mattresses out so that I could feel them. They felt the best of any I have ever touched. But I have bought pillows and never find one that " fits " me. After the comment on this site about the pillows I went to Sam's this afternoon with the intention of getting one. The ones they had today were different. They were the contoured ones and they did not feel nice like the other. Looking at it I know it is too thick, as that is the problem I usually encountered. My one pillow I use is contoured. The ones I looked at the other day were standard flat ones but felt like the head would sink into it enough to brace the neck. I was disappointed and when I came home I looked on the Web at Sam's site to see if I had really seen what I though I had. I have only found the one contoured one I use but I think I will watch Sam's to see the flat ones again. It was not a very thick pillow. I wondered which one of the pillows you were saying you had.

I have the neck contour pillow, and can choose what side and contour to use depending on my comfort at the time. It's great. Sam's club has good prices on these.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 At Sharper Image this month, memory foam pillows are buy one, get one for 50% off. I also have a coupon code for $100 off a $200 order. Email me if you want it. Sharper Image is pricey, but with these discounts it may be cheaper than Sam's, and they have the absolute best kind of memory foam available. > > > > > > > > > I have a head/neck pillow from the chiropractor > > that I can't sleep > > without so I always carry it.
