Are you particular about your pillow or mattress density or material filling?

Do you take your pillow with you when you travel?

I have a favorite pillow but I don't take it with me when I travel. It's a modern, high density, pillow but not a large one, more flat and not overly large. More support rather than soft.

I have a air mattress and I like it much. Used a water mattress for years but that's out-dated now.

Anyone use a sleep number or adjustable mattress? Worth it?

We have slept on a Sleep Number for 18 years. It has been very comfortable and durable. We are going to replace it with a King size SN bed in the new year. I don't think all the positioning frames are worth it, but the mattress definitely lets you design the firmness.

We use a sleep number bed and I love it. Mrs. Nalt purchased a pillow from them when we bought the bed but she doesn't use it, I do. The bed is very comfortable but it does take a few nights of adjusting it in order to find "your number" for maximum comfort. That is what Mrs. Nalt has never done. She sleeps either on the sofa in the den now or sitting in the floor in front of a space heater...:crazy:

I’m not particular about pillows nor a mattress so long as it isn’t too hard. But I did want to add that I got a chuckle when I saw how the threads were lined up…

I prefer feather pillows to any of the others such as foam, etc.
I never took my own pillow when traveling. It seemed silly to me but now that I am older I may change my mind

I like memory foam pillows and travel with it when I can. I'd love to try a sleep number bed. Soft, not firm.

I'm a side sleeper, and I need a pillow that's super firm so as to keep my neck aligned with my spine. Anything less will set off horrible neck and shoulder pain that can last for days. So, I do take my pillow with me on vacation. But if I'm just in a hotel for a night or two, I can usually make do by stacking their pillows up on top of each other.

We have had a sleep number for 5years, I will never go to a regular mattress again. My wife feels the same way and I swear she could sleep on a bed of nails.

I love my waterbed and quilted topper. When used with down pillows, nothing Mike Lindell sells can replace it

Same... I'll take mine if I'm driving somewhere like Gainesville for a weekend
