Why are hotel pillows so comfortable Reddit

I stayed at a Wyndham recently where for two queen-size beds they gave us ten (10) pillows - 8 full-size and 2 throw pillows. Even if there'd been four of us we could only have used four (4) pillows. What's the point?

I travel a bit for work, and when I’m home I sleep best with a somewhat firm pillow that supports my head. At most hotels the pillows are to be incredibly soft, and I feel like my head sinks almost all the way down. For me at least, it’s hard to sleep like this. I’d bring my own pillow, but they are usually too bulky for air travel.

So here’s my trick: I take one of the large bath towels, fold it to be about the same rectangular size as the pillow, and carefully tuck inside the pillow case with the pillow itself. If I do it right, it’s not lumpy at all but is completely flat inside. This adds a bit of firmness and prevents my head from sinking like a stone!

Anyway, it helps me, hopefully it’s useful for someone else…

Why are hotel pillows so amazing? from AskReddit

Whenever I go to a hotel, the pillows are always comfy and good quality but my pillows at home are never as good.

Why is this, do hotels use a special type of pillow or do they just replace them often?

I’m always baffled that hotel pillows are too soft to sleep, nobody has those pillows at home, a great pillow should be firm and support your neck and lower head, otherwise you’ll have trouble sleeping and ended up have a sore neck or headache the next morning.

We can see hotels are trying to introduce softer and more comfortable mattresses, beddings, yet they don’t change the style of pillows, and it really bothers me.

Wonder if anyone feels the same? ;-)

All my pillows suck. Whether I get them at Costco, BB&B, or Amazon. Where do I get the ones like you sometimes get at a hotel that are just amazing? Soft, but supportive… like your head is just floating effortlessly? Also, once you get them, how do you maintain them and keep them awesome?

What pillows do hotels use? I sleep much better at The hotel than at home from NoStupidQuestions

I have been on a search for the best pillow for years and I am never satisfied. When I stay at hotels the pillows always seem squishy and comfy and I am wondering why I can’t seem to find similar ones at a store? I’m assuming hotel pillows are mass produced specifically for the hotel and can’t be bought direct by consumers but somewhere there has to be one!
