i use buckwheat pillows.
TempurPedic pillows can feel like bricks sometimes, especially when they're cold...
Any preference on pillow type? Feather pillows or fluffy-synthetic-cottony-stuff pillows?
Or you can try one of those cloud pillow things you see on TV, the ones with the foam bead things...

In that 'case' (pun intended), tell your wife you need new pillows and leave the decision making up to her.
Best advice I can give you...

Have you tried sleeping without a pillow? There have been many times when I start getting neck/back pain from sleeping the wrong way, and usually after one night of sleeping COMPLETELY FLAT with no pillows the pain will diminish. Not sure if it works for everyone, as some people probably find sleeping without any pillows uncomfortable.
Personally, I hate tall pillows, they kill my neck. Nothing is worse than hard foam pillows.
I buy small cheap pillows at Wal-Mart, bring them home, and put them on the floor under a large heavy box for at least 24 hours before using them. They last for a year or less before they get too lumpy to use, I run them in the clothes dryer about once a month.
See how weird I am? Don't take my advice or you will grow up to be a freak.

Why stop at just a pillow? Get a whole buckwheat bed.

Do you prefer harder of softer pillows? I don't really mind what pillow I have as long as it's hard as a rock, can't stand soft pillow, I just can't deal with my body being flat on the bed like that
I bought two pillows from Overstock.com They were $30 for two pillows and are awesome.
The recommendation came from The Wirecutter's sister site, TheSweetHome and the review (http://thesweethome.com/reviews/best-bed-pillows/) is spot on.
I'm a side sleeper and my wife sleeps on her back, so we got the medium and we both love them. Took us about a week to get comfortable with them because we were so use to the crappy pillows we had before.

Probably an inbetweener.
I'm gonna see what this whole buckwheat craze is all about. ;D
So I use two pillows at night...

I also have a ninja turtle blanket 8)
So I use two pillows at night and they are both worn out, I've been having lots of aches and pains in my neck so I'm hoping its partially due to those.
Anyone have any good recommendations on decent pillows and/or what to look for? I'd rather not spend anymore than I have to :thumb:
Keyboard pillows are not an option :p

I'm sure most of us, me included, would be happy to send you our non-MX crap bag keycaps to stuff into a pillow...

I'm pretty focused on having a quality bed/bedding and keyboards. What I've found, aside from plain old personal preference, is that many different things can feel fine sometimes, or for just a change, but that one or two things will overall feel better most of the time. It's not always an easy decision. I prefer natural substances where possible as opposed to plastics, chemical foams, etc.
I use a natural latex mattress. Everything is better starting with this. http://www.flobeds.com (http://www.flobeds.com)
Pillows, feather (non-feather bed toppers for super-cuddly softness), comforters, sheets, blah blah all add to the experience and are important.
I currently use a feathery feather bed on top for cuddliness. Nothing special, it doesn't change anything (support/comfort) much, it just makes the bed feel as though you're floating in a sea of boobs.
Pillows I've found that I like 3 things:
1- SHREDDED LATEX. You can open the pillow case and remove/add handfuls of the shredded latex for a custom "fill". All the benefits of a solid latex pillow, but a softer, very comforting, adjustable pillow. It's great, an exceptional pillow, but thought I would love it more than I do.
2- BUCKWHEAT. I have a buckwheat neck pillow that works for back sleeping sometimes. Conforms 100% then supports that shape. Stable.
3- SHAPED LATEX OR MEMORY FOAM. I have a couple of these…it's important it's just right for YOU. Never cared for these until I got some very specific size/shape items.
Body pillows can be good. I had a cheap, ****ty one….not so good. Tried a better one much later, but don't have one now…might send wrong message to gf.
Don't forget the perk of great sheets next to skin!
1- Smooth, high thread count cotton.
2- Winter it can be fun to use t-shirt material sheets or flannel sheets.
Went to the doctor and got put on blood pressure meds, muscle relaxers and a high dose ibuprofen.healthcare. 'murica.
Just an update, I liked the buckwheat pillow, but it would appear my stiff neck isn't pillow related as I had hoped.

I'm thinking I'm going to have to go the chiropractor, the tense neck is causing problems with my arm also. :-\
Maybe I need some nerve pills or therapy? :o :p

If it's anything like what I've experienced in the past, it's probably related to sitting at a computer for too long. ;D
I've found going to the Chiro to be a good solution to help relieve pain and then adjusting my posture as needed. A big help for me has been my standing desk. I used to go to the Chiro at least once a year, but now there's no need.
Hope that helps!
Very well could be I've been at a desk for the last 5 years on and off, probably the last two years 10 hours a day...i've been at a desk all my conscious life. last time i've been to chiropracticist's office, he told me my neck is as firm as a stick.
I have a wheat kernel bag that I can heat in the microwave and wrap around my shoulders - really good at relieving neck pain.sounds like a good tip.
