Best affordable pillow?

I’ve bought so many and been disappointed. Dunelm mill soft ones were by far the worst and the filling just lumped together in places after a few weeks. ikea lost all of their volume and random Amazon ones turned out not to be soft and were hopeless for front sleeping .

Ive settled on premier inn soft ones , come in a pack of 2 with decent quality padded covers too. Had them approx 4 months and although lost some volume are still comfortable, and since I only use one at a time I have the spare to move to next .Here £36 for two. Early days , but the best I’ve found so far .

All fibre ones (hollow, micro, bamboo etc) generally go clumpy, lumpy, or flat eventually or after too many washes.

You could try some sort of foam/memory foam which can make you sweat. Or look for ones with natural fillings like feather, wool, wheat or some other seeds.

Best one is stuffed with cotton. Futon retailers usually carry these.
