      you get what you pay for.

        In fairness, mate, I was walking down the street at about 4:30pm a couple of days ago. I found a Telstra bill that someone had dropped. The bill was for nearly a thousand bucks, but it had a note on it that said "20% off if paid before 5pm Friday". I only just made it to the nearest Telstra shop in time, but I did manage to get a $199 discount! Pretty amazing, eh?!

      Made from memory foam developed for Nasa though. Tempur has a unique product. I get your scepticism, but the properties in terms of support and temperature are unique to their product. I personally don't like their pillow as it's too high for me, but the mattress is incredible. Unfortunately this is what good mattresses and pillows cost. They remain comfortable for many years though, so think about long term costs too.

        Some people need a $1000 chair for work to avoid chronic pain. Some need a good pillow or mattress to be able to get any sleep. Have you ever tried Tempur? Do you know the product? They are at the top of the CHOICE satisfaction survey for mattresses

      they scammed you not for the 20, but the crap pillow you bought.

      I bought about 4 different pillows from target all on special. I can say the all crap and a waste of money. (side sleeper, memory foam bla bla bla)

      Waking up everyday because of the quality of my pillow. I decided to spend and see what the difference is, now i know why these pillows are expensive and why target is cheap.

      If your that much of a tight arse to compromise sleep over it, thats yours choice.

      • AnotherRat on 05/06/2015 - 09:46

      Can you elaborate what's so good about it?

      • ihavok on 18/05/2015 - 07:43

        Apologies. After checking the label on my pillow, it seems what i have is not the Symphony pillow, but the Comfort Pillow Cloud.

        Different pillow, so I will refrain from describing it here (feel free to PM me if you want more info though).

        A cheaper alternative with good reviews (I have not tried this myself):
        http://www.amazon.com/Shredded-Memory-Pillow-Bamboo-Cover/dp…

        Unfortunately you will need a freight forwarder service to get it to you. Take into account that shipping costs are not based purely on weight, but on the dimensions of the product you're shipping too - so it can be more costly than you think to get it here.

          Not a deal is decided if you can find the same product cheaper somewhere else or if it is no different to RRP. If someone else has need for this particular brand and its cheaper than rrp, its a deal. Even if you don't like it

      So, I wonder how long a Tempur pillow will last?

      I bought my wife a Dunlopillo Theropillo memory foam pillow for around $150 five years ago - it lasted about 6 months before it stopped giving correct support. Same goes for those expensive Denton's pillows.

      I'd love to find something that is cool and supportive and lasts at least a couple of years.

    Is this like a foam pillow?

    I use a Soren Pillow bought from Harris Scarfe. Mine is foam and retails at $80. But every now and then it drops to $25 thats when I bought mine. I could never go back to a common pillow.

    So what justifies the hefty price tag for this tempur pillow?

    EDIT: I see someone mentioned its made with foam :)

    Just waiting for a moderator to come sort out the comments that people post to justify their ability to down vote based on what they think should be right…

    Although its a niche market, if this product appeals to an audience on ozbargain, and if its cheaper than other retailers by what they believe is a noticeable amount, its considered a deal (from my 5+ years of surfing ozbargain)

    Now I can see there are people comparing these pillows to $20 ones you buy from IKEA or target. These are NOT the same (not even made of the same thing). There are cheaper memory pillows that can be bought from Harris scarfe if you want to try them, and I'd encourage you to try (Denton's is a good choice). But a good memory foam pillow retains its shape and maintains support to head and neck for long term use, and a $50 memory foam pillow will do that for 2 or 3 times longer or more than a polyester or wool fiber pillow.

    If I had some extra cash I'd definitely try one of these tempur. The were one of the first to work on memory foam, and some cheaper brands have this synthetic smell that doesn't go away quickly

    TLDR: just because you don't find it appropriate for you doesn't make it not a bargain. Don't be a critic of something you haven't tried or can't see the application for
