Hotel room pillows

[sam_gordon]

Anyone else HATE hotel room pillows? Every one I've used has been so "fluffy" that when you put any weight on it, it basically collapses to nothing. My home pillows are some type of memory foam and fairly stiff. Yes, I know I can bring a pillow from home, but that's one more thing to carry and remember to bring home or a hassle on a flight.

Maybe I'm just old and cranky. And get off my lawn!

Carry on.

I concur. Hotel pillows = Trash. But I just got back from a stay at the Disneyland Hotel, I fell in love with the pillows. Perfect, floofy, wonderful. I might have to go back.

I haven't been to a hotel in awhile, but I recall having to stack pillows to get any sort of comfort. So Sam Gordon, I too concur. Both about the quality of hotel pillows, and with you being old and cranky. I'm getting off your lawn!

DH insists on bringing his pillow when we travel by car.

Me, I can fall asleep on rocks.

I’m cranky about MANY things but this ain’t one of ‘em.

I’ve been to a lot of hotels recently. Yep, hate all the pillows. I use a memory foam pillow for side sleepers. It’s from kohls. Just the big one brand. If I’m driving I take it along, but not when I fly.

Completely agree. The pillows at the Anaheim SpringHill suites were terrible. I had to fold up a couple of bathroom towels and put under them to give them some bulk. Only reason I slept is by walking 12 miles around Disneyland during the day.

 

[Pea-n-Me]

Yup. I can never sleep comfortably in a hotel.

I did some work travel and found many hotels have firmer pillows, in limited quality, if you ask when check-in. Might take me a couple but I'm thankful I sleep pretty solid anytime and place.

I’m a feather-pillow person and only the best hotels have that as a option anymore. Our usual haunts always have foam and whether they’re flat or too full, they’re never, ever “right”.

My wife insists on staying only at Holiday Inn Expresses. I swear they must have a dozen pillows of different types on every bed. Okay, only 8 on a queen bed. 4 Firm and 4 soft. So no, I have no issues in this case because I have options.

Hate hate hate them. My husband had trouble sleeping with the squishy pillows at the Poly last month.

 

[Kitty 34]

I always bring my own pillow, even when flying.

 

[slo]

I also absolutely HATE hotel pillows.
If we are driving, my pillow comes with me.
I will only tolerate hotel pillows when I fly.

Yes they do but they still don’t work for me

Personally I am ok on any mattress and with any pillow I have ever come across at a hotel. But other family members always bring a pillow. One is due to allergies to down pillows.

I was just going to mention that. We've been staying at the a HI Express for every show in my daughter's theatre ticket package, and the pillows are second only to location as far as why we are sticking to the same hotel every time. Sleeping anywhere is one of my superpowers, but I do still appreciate a comfortable pillow when we're away and their setup is one of the better ones I've encountered.

 

[sam_gordon]

I've stayed at HI Express. I don't remember their pillows as being outstanding, but I'll have to remember the next time I'm looking for hotels. The two I stayed at this month (Holiday Inn & Drury) had the crappy pillows.

 

[mikehn]

Yes, hotel pillows suck. I just double the pillows and it works thankfully.

 

[kanerf]

When I am driving to a hotel, I bring my own pillow and use that. It is a firm pillow. At some very high-end hotels you can get different kinds of pillows upon request.

 

[Dan Murphy]

Agreed, fully.
