Do you carry your own pillow when you travel?
I’ll use the motel pillows to prop my back when I read in bed, but when it’s time to snuggle down to sleep, I need my own pillow.
Iritadragon, no offense taken. At first blush, it does sound like a kid thing, but honestly, I find it very difficult to fall asleep on motel pillows. They’re too big, too soft, too everything.

I ALWAYS take my pillow everywhere I go to sleep. Even on the motorcycle I find a place to carry him. My pillow has a name and gender. Pealee is an old down pillow. He is real flat, but fits comfortably over my eyes and ears so that I can block out the rest of the world.
I ordered a memory foam pillow to be sent to my son’s house so when I spend the night, I don’t have to bring one for my neck. Getting old sucks! Everything needs support now.
I bring my feather pillow on all trips.
I like to have my own pillow, smells like home, and i hate to sleep any where but in my own bed.

No
I use whichever pillow is given to me.
I usually try to bring my own just because I know it is comfortable
and sometimes motel pillows are too soft or too hard.
I have my favorite duck pillow that goes with me everywhere
Yes, always.
I dont but I always pack mt daughters for her
I sometimes do, if I’m traveling by car. Didn’t on this last trip, I flew and didn’t have room for a pillow. I do like my own pillow better. Much easier to sleep!
I bring my own Allergan pillow case so I decrease the dust mites and stuff I inhale from the pillows. If I’m traveling by car, I bring my own pillow.
I do not. But there are some people that do because they do need there own pillow to sleep. I believe that it reminds them of home. I do bring things from home that I do not need to remind me of home.
I go nowhere without my tempur pedic pillow.
Sure do!
yes I use my own pillow. You don’t know who’s head been on there pillows or what bugs.
Yes – a couple of them.
You made me smile…do you also wear footed pyjamas and carry a stuffed toy?
I am not trying to be cruel or snide…just picturing a grey haired woman with her security pillow makes me smile is all.
Although I REALLY DO understand you compulsion, because my youngest refuses to go anywhere without her (which used to be mine) feather pillow–even into the hospital for operations–that pillow goes with her on all overnights everywhere. Stood up to the abuse pretty well to, because I bought a pair of them 25 years ago. They are very highest quality goose down. (I couldn’t afford the eider duck.)
I, too, must have my own pillow..cannot sleep without great pain if I don’t take it with me.
I try to remember my pillow…..your own pillow is for sure a comfort when you’re away from home.
I don’t bring my own pillow but my husband brings his. He can’t get comfortable without it.
I used to, then I stopped. I usually regret it when I don’t. Just last weekend I went to my nephews wedding in Texas. The place where we stayed these HUGE fluffy pillows that are just terrible for stomach sleepers. I like soft flat-ish pillows. I had a neck ache for 2 days.
sure do, others are just not the same
I almost always do as most hotel pillows are either flat or made of icky synthetics that don’t breathe and cause me to perspire.
Always. It’s a goose down small thing and I have traveling pillowcases to take with it!
Yes, sometimes.
Definitely – nothing worse than an uncomfortable pillow when travelling ( also when going to hospital – those pillows can be the worst , as well as having plastic covers on them !)
I travel a lot so I have this polar fleece blanket with a pocket in which the entire thing folds into itself creating a pillow…I need a blanket when I fly and a pillow when I sleep, so all is good and in a handy dandy carrier!
No but should have at times
Yes and also my blanket.
Yes, I carry my own pillow as well. I am very picky about my pillow!
no I use theirs if I need extra pillows I ask
Yes I do. I even take my own sheets now. I like the smell of my laundry softener. I too use the hotel pillows for prop. I also bring Clorox wipes and re-clean the bathroom.
Yes I do, I can’t sleep well on any other. I do the same thing with the motel pillows, I prop them up for reading or watching TV. When we go out of town to visit friend or relatives we take our pillows as well, and all understand because they do to.
