I will ride and/or die with Xtreme Comforts' shredded foam pillows. They're like fifty bucks, a little more for a bigger one. My girlfriend hates them--which is fine, because it means I get two. The bed's going to look funny when we move in together: two enormous pillows on my side, two puny flat ones on hers.
Heh I have the "as seen on TV" bamboo pillow as well that I bought on some insane sale somewhere. i think it was $12 ish for the pillow.
I like it quite a bit. When I was getting shipped around on a plane every week for work, the hotel super soft pillows really didn't stack up. You get used to having something that fully molds to your head.
I don't have a critique from any sort of experience aside from that I sleep well and its comfortable.
I have the soft king size for the bedroom, and 2x full size mediums for the guest beds.
My wife stole the free giant shredded foam pillow. I probably couldn't take it from her if I tried.
