Whenever I fly to pick up a car somewhere, I pick up a cheap pillow at a Target or Walmart along the side of the interstate instead of packing one, (bulky in carry-on bag). They are $5 or $10 and I have a bunch of them in my Airstream or laying around somewhere.
I'd never put them on my bed, which has 4 or 5 good, expensive pillows on it. I'm talking Scandia Down, firm ones/soft ones, etc. So on a recent road trip, I pulled into a Walmart and instead of buying the $5 synthetic pillow, I splurged on the $15 memory foam one.
HOLY SHNIZZLE. This is the best pillow I've ever laid my head on and it's in my bed now. All the other ones are pushed aside. Maybe all memory foam pillows are this good(?) It's a first for me and it's transformational. I've always been challenged finding a perfect pillow, I sleep generally on my side and I know there are different types depending on if you lay on back/side/stomach. For laying on my side, it's the perfect height and firmness and I think I'm sleeping better.
Just thought I'd share this. Might seem trivial but sleeping well is everything in terms of health and happiness.
