Hello, I love my pillow. I like how it fits the size and form of my head. It has just the right volume to elevate my head enough to sleep comfy. Since a few weeks it has a small hole in it and the feathers are coming out. Today I wanted to fix that. The result is a pillow with a even bigger hole in it, a ripped off zipper and lots of feathers everywhere. Dammit. What should I do? Sew up the hole, glue the zipper together with hot glue? Throw the pillow away, get another one and don't sleep comfy for the next years? Dammitdammit. Regards Gyro
Get a pillow case that is exactly the same size. Get all the feathers in place again. Put the new case around it and seal it up :2thumbsup: Or take your time and get a new pillow that is satisfactory. No thanks! :cheers2:
Hello, where can one get pillow cases this days? Is the 'comfyness' of the pillow a function of the feathers, of the pillow case or of both of them? And to get a new pillow like this will take ages. You see, it's not that easy. Regards Gyro
Hi Gyro. I have a little tip & trick for you. If you buy a new pillow, put some stones inside and kick it around your garden. Then put it in the washing machine. After you did that, your pillow will feels as if it was already used several months.
Seek and you shall find I have no idea where to get the right one at first instance neither. I would ask my mum, she apparently knows how to find the most awesome pillows and cases!
Hello, I'm feeling ashamed that I didn't came up with this great idea . Mum's the best . Meanwhile I got a spare pillow from one of my old packing crates. And -as expected- it feels wrong laying down my head on it. Regards Gyro
The ones I was thinking of that my mom finds are not really the best to sleep on by the way. They look kind of like they come from the stories from 1001 nights
Hello, hmm, I once was booked into a hotel that has 1001 nights as its theme. It was horrible. After three nights (I'm a patient man) I moved to another hotel and removed the hotel from the list of bookable hotels. Regards Gyro
Was it in your own country? It might have been a distorted kind of theme. Like getting 'chinese food' from your local takeaway
Hello, yepp, it's in Frankfurt. They had this strange lamps hanging from the room's ceiling. The first evening one lamp hit me straight between the eyes, because I'm a normal sized man and I couldn't find the light switch in the dark (the switch wasn't near the door as one would expect). The bed was full of pillows, but the blanket was too short. You couldn't enter the bed from the side, because there was all kinds of bric-a-brac to make you think you are somewhere near you camels. There was no desk, they only had small stools to sit on, like in a fscking oasis. They had the size of footstools. Breakfast was arranged to simulate an adventure camp or something like that. You had to run throught three only dim lit rooms to find your stuff. Couldn't find coffee in ten minutes so I left and got my breakfast at Frankfurt central station. I've seen a lot of hotels, good ones and bad ones. But that one is the worst so far. Regards Gyro
Yeah, it's better to enjoy a middle eastern tent near camels in a real oasis (I think, and plan to find out some day!)
Hello, if I was in a real oasis (which indeed might be fun) I would had had a camp fire near my bed. I should have started one in that hotel . Regards Gyro
I know the pain of losing a comfy pillow. My fiance's aunt took it upon herself to take our bed stuff when we moved here to wash it for us because our washing machine wasn't installed yet. She took our pillows, sheets, and my bear that I had since I was born. I'd never tried to machine wash him before but luckily he came back in one piece (or I'd have murdered her) but I never got my pillow back and I fucking loved that pillow. It was one of those giant wedge pillows, it had flattened over time but it was extremely comfy. So I got some crappy hand-me-down pillow and NEVER got an explanation as to why she didn't give me my pillow back. Finally I bought a new one and I'm satisfied with it.
Gooood morning, poor guy. Bears shouldn't tumble in washing mashines. It was a horrible night. Either my head laid too low or it laid too height. Folding the pillow doesn't help, stretching it doesn't help. I think that pillow and good ol' Gyro will not become friends anytime soon. Regards Gyro
Yeah. My bear is pretty fragile. I try not to throw him around too much anymore. Hopefully it'll shape to your liking eventually.
For God's Sake Stop Making Such A Mega-Drama Over Such A Small Issue.... Just Do What I Have Done Many Times, And That Is To Go And Buy A "Pillow Protecter" Which Is Nothing More Than A White Pillow Case With A Zip, The Idea Of Which Is To Launder It Rather Than Soil Your Pillow.... My Favourite Pillow Has Been Falling Apart For Years So I Have Two On It, One To Hold It Together, And The Outer One To Launder. Problem Solved...:2thumbsup: Cheers Glen.
Hello, well, if I would live on your end of the earth with my head down and my feet up, it would certainly be a small issue. But for me it isn't. It's in the same category as, let's say changing your barber after twenty years or so. I'm an engineer, what do I know about pillow protectors. I don't even know the German term for them . I think I have to check this newfangled internet auction thingy. Regards Gyro
Hello, after this adventure he will live forever . Hmm, I don't think so. I guess part of the problem is that the new pillow has 'sections' sewed in so that the filling stays in place. Regards Gyro
Hello, this one: *scratching head* I try hard to grow my moobs, but with minor success I have to confess. So I don't need one of those... yet. Regards Gyro
