Are memory-foam pillows worth the expense?
I’m looking for a good, firm pillow. The mushy ones don’t give me the support my fat head needs and the overstuffed ones raise my head too high and hurt my neck. Thanks for the time you have taken to give input.

Yes they are. I bought one in Target but wasn’t good enought. Then a friend recommended a company that has memory foam products and I purchased one made of soy bean that is chemical free. I highly recommend this. I had a stiff neck before and had trouble falling asleep.

Look for a discount brand one at walmart or k-mart (i dont know what stores you have where you live), i picked one up and definately helps if your neck. I found i would roll around alot and wake up, sometimes sleeping without a pillow if necessary, but after i got one from wal mart it seems to have done the trick. I would also recommend looking at a down pillow, altough they will be more expensive. Hope thats helpful.
