Pillows UK vs US
« on: January 22, 2005, 02:48:06 PM »
Are UK and US pillows different? My hubby complains daily about how awful US pillows are. We have bought at least 40 in the last 9 years of various prices. I have lots in my closet taking up space as he can't find an English pillow. Do they do something different in the UK than the US?

I'd rather have my US pillows than the ones I bought here. 

Munchie, order some pillows from Amazon.co.uk.  They'll be from the UK and your dh can stop whinging!

Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man’s abode; the snow melts before its doors as early in the spring. Cultivate property like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Turn the old; return to them. Things do not change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts…

I haven't noticed a difference at all.   :-\\\\  I have a nice Debenham's pillow I use here.

I'd only like my pillows because the ones I bought are pants!  I really have no preference where they come from.

Ours are Debenham's, too, along with the duvet.

I brought one pillow along with me, but to be honest, we bought some really cheap pillows from Tescos and they're soft and fluffy, if I was so partial to the one I brought, I think I would be in love with the Tescos ones :)

Hope you and your DH find some perfect UK-like pillows!! :)
