When we were shopping for mattresses, the salesman said, “There’s a deal on this one: we’ll include a free $200 pillow.” (There’s some kind of deal on all of them.)

My husband said, “I wonder what it’s like to sleep on a $200 pillow.”

I’ve never spent much on a pillow, but that started me thinking. What are you getting when you spend more than a few dollars? Never mind the advertising claims, I’d like to hear actual experience. What are you willing to pay for a pillow, and is it worth it?

No feathers for me, though. I’m allergic to them.
