I am looking to buy new pillows. What are the brands that you like and why? In particular, i am looking for a pillow that would be not too soft and stay cool (anti sweat if such thing exists).

What can I do next?

I love my mediflow water pillow. I bought it on Amazon. It stays cool and you can adjust the firmness to your liking.

I have to admit, I love my side sleeper pro. It's one of those "as seen on TV" products, although I had never seen it on TV. I saw it on the shelf in Walgreens. I have degenerative vertebrae in my neck, so my neck gets so stiff on regular pillows that some mornings I can barely move. Also, my ear hurts terribly when I sleep on a regular pillow. This one wraps around your shoulder and positions your head just right, plus it has a hole for your ear, which has helped tremendously! Reading the reviews, some people hate it, but they only try it for a night or two -- it took me about a week to get used to it, but now, I can barely sleep without it. I hardly move at night -- some nights I don't move at all. No more tossing and turning. They're very poorly made and wear out easily, but having purchased two, I'm planning on making my own after this.

I bought new pillows from Costco recently that are made of chopped up memory foam(including some of the cool type of foam). They weren't soft enough for me, but my husband loves them. We've also found some nice pillows at Ikea.

We have been buying the two pack of Serta pillows for $10 from Sam's for a while now. They suit us fine most of the time. Those other times, I have a special cervical neck pillow.

I've used a buckwheat pillow for at least 10 years and love it! Since there's no foam or feather's it stays cooler and doesn't make you sweat. This was recommended by my chiropractor and gives my neck great support. This pillow type takes a couple days to get used to, but once used to it, you'll never want an old fashioned foam or feather pillow again. Stay away from memory foam or tempurpedic material, that will definitely trap body heat and make sweating a problem.
