I finally broke down and got one of those gel memory foam pillows, best investment ever. Also solved my neck ache problems in the morning.
I can't stand how some are like either too poof'd or too flat.

Poor you though, silly man with a silly poofy pillow.  :))

How poofy are we talking here? I like some poof, maybe not as much as you're on about though...

I'm think I might finally learn to use this sewing machine this year, and give my pillow, poof-surgery.

I like thin flat pillows.

About once a year I buy a really cheap polyester-filled pillow, run it in the clothes drier, hot, for 10-20 minutes, then put it on the floor under a heavy box for about an hour.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

I, too, like flat pillows. I actually found this one at kmart that has a solid foam center with fill around it. It has been about a year, and I still have that firm, uniform center (unlike ones in the past that just got lumpy). Funny how the cheapest pillow I've ever purchased has been the best.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Is it odd that when I go to hotels I take pictures of the tag of the pillow and use the notepad they provide to take notes on it so I can order the right one for home next time?

I used to work in a fancy hotel, we had a pillow boutique. You could ask for many different kinds of pillows and you could buy the one you liked the most from the hotel ( a new one of course)
