Do you love your pillow?

I want to love my pillow.
I sleep in all of the basic positions so I need some versatility. I know that there are adjustable pillows but I’m not sure I want to deal with that hassle.
Any recommendations? Do you have an exceptional pillow you want me to know about?
I’ve seen pillows into the $300s, and though I’m not willing to pay that much, I am willing to pay more than average for a really nice pillow.

I use a flat queen size stomach pillow. To hug and hold at night.
I rotate 2 my pillows and 2 others, from Amazon, and 2 others as they heat up.
I rarely use pillow cases.
I prefer and expect it. That’s the best I can do. It’s the wife who tucks and piles pillows in extraordinary places. She’s bullet proof in both the bed alone and her recliner.
I love pillows made from real latex rubber like this one. Extremely comfortable while also giving support. https://a.co/d/44oh4y0
I have 4 different pillows. One large synthetic, one small rectangular synthetic , one small round synthetic one large feather. I move them around and position them into different locations around my head, neck and chest throughout the night. Why? Because my arms have a tendency to go numb and then start to ache when I lay in any one position too long. It wakes me up. Then I rearranged the pillows and fall asleep again only to be awakened again in 1 or 2 hours later. Been sleeping like this for over 30 years. Spent a lot of money and time going to a neurologist and chiropractor to no avail. Getting old is not for wimps. HA!
No. We have a pretty Platonic relationship. It’s serviceable, that’s about it.
When my late husband and I were shopping for mattresses, we noted a display of $200 pillows. He said, “I wonder what it’s like to sleep on a two hundred dollar pillow.” But neither of us was willing to pay to find out.
Anyway, I’m allergic to feathers, so no downy bed items for me.
@RedDeerGuy1, the virtue of pillowcases is that they’re easy to wash.
Following. I need good pillows, too.
I have to have two pillows, both not very thick, one a little firm the other softer. Between the two I can adjust them so my neck is comfortable.
I don’t spend a ton of money on pillows. $300 is crazy to me.
Once in a while I stay in a hotel that has great pillows, maybe I’ll check the name next time.
My husband has a pillow he hugs and it’s nothing special except that he likes it to have a flannel pillow case. I made him several pillow cases from very soft flannel fabric. So, in total he uses three pillows.
I’ve tried ALOT of different pillows. I find none to be perfect. I wouldn’t pay $300 for one. I can’t even imagine.
I tried pillow cube, and that does have some merit…but not always or from all angles. I got MyPillow for Xmas one year, but I’d already gotten a generic that was similar…and better. But same basic premise – foam rubber filled pillow where you can adjust the amount of foam in it, and as such, how firm it is or isn’t.
Regular pillow are the worst though.
I take my pillow with me on most trips, because it is very thin, which is how I am comfortable.
But, no. I don’t love it.
I have four pillows and they all suck. :’(
I think we need a pillow revolution.
Not love, but we have a close relationship.
I bought my last set at Costco “Hotel Grand” model. Medium hard. I like them. There is no earthly reason to pay more than $20/pillow.
I have one with bamboo fill that seems to not only stay supportive but also comfortable. It’s also machine washable.

I had to toss my favorite stomach pillow. It was getting too nasty. I bought four cheap pillows/w/cases from Wal-Mart and they are fine for the short-term.
