Pillow Reviews and Buying Guide:

When shopping for pillows, it can get complicated real fast since there are so many different kinds of pillows - travel pillows, neck pillows, foam pillows, baby pillows, body pillows, throw pillows, decorative pillows, floor pillows, pregnancy pillows and dozens more. Who has time to research all the varieties and which is suited best for you. How do you even know what type of pillow would be comfortable without actually using it for a while? We found a site that went straight to the experts in pillows, who else but hotels. The site is called PacificPillows.com and lists hotels that use their line of pillows (hotels like Marriott, Ritz-Carlton, Crowne Plaza, Hyatt and Doubletree). It does make sense that hotels would need to carry some of the best pillows in their rooms since customer satisfaction (usually meaning a good nights sleep) is essential to their business model. That's why we recommend shopping for pillows at Pacific Pillows. Their prices are not cheap, but the quality in pillow is #1. Try their Marriott Pacific Coast Down Surround (4 pillow set) for $149 or Ritz-Carlton Pacific Coast Double Down Surround Pillow Set for $109.

JCPenney is another great online site for pillows with top manufacturers like Sealy Posturepedic Grand Meridian Pillow listed, the new Ambient pillow and body pillow and the Isotonic Memory Foam Contoured pillow ($39.99). JCPenney.com carries all the pillows you could want with latex foam pillows, Comfort Zone Perfect Pillow, Jockey Microfiber Pillow, and the Simmons Coil Center Pillow. Neck support is the #1 thing to consider when buying pillows so definitely go to a local showroom and rest your head for a minute or 2 to see how them feel.

Decorative Pillows:

Decorative pillows bring color, pattern, shape, and texture to home decor. They are easy to shop for since there is no comfort to worry about in terms of the pillow. Just shop for something that enhances any room in your house. Shopping online for decorative pillows is the way to go. You can see pictures and descriptions of accent and decorative pillows online at sites like TouchofClassCatalog.com or Amazon in their Bed and Bath section.

Throw Pillows:

Throw pillows got their name probably from people picking them up and engaging in a pillow fight, hence the name "throw pillow". That's just a guess, but throw pillows are awefully handy to have around bedrooms and dens to make things look well kept and decorative when the beds are made or the couch in your office needs an accent. They can be used on the floor as well in open areas around a fireplace or family room. Make sure you buy durable throw pillows since often they are sat on and used in a rougher manner than your standard sleep pillows on a bed. You can shop online for throw pillows at Horchow.com.

Best Memory Foam Pillows:

These are a somewhat new concept in sleep pillows and started with the memory foam mattresses (which are a huge success by the way). The top brands for memory foam pillows are Tempur Pedic, BackSaver Wonderfoam and Wonderlite, Jobri Betterneck, and Obus Forme. Tempur Pedic is the most recognized name in pillows and mattresses when it comes to comfort, so we suggest going with them on sheer reputation. The Tempur-Pedic Memory Foam Body Pillow (36" x 14") sells for $150. The Memory Foam Contour Pillow - Obus Forme UltraFoam Deluxe Pillow sells for $189/pair.

Pillow Accessories - Shams, Case, Covers:

What would a pillow be without a pillow case or pillow cover. Also, if you have decorative pillows on your bed, a pillow sham is a nice touch of class. Usually you can buy a comforter set that comes with pillow cases and pillow shams that all match. We recommend trying Nordstroms or JC Penney's for your pillow accessory needs.
