Hi sparkelman,
Thanks for taking the time to provide the great feedback and report about your experiences with Colton. You and a few others on the forum have certainly had good experiences there
The “pillow thread” is here and the “sheets and fabrics” post with links to other threads, posts, and sources of good information as well is in post #7 here.
What Mike said about durability is certainly true but pillows are such a preference choice (outside of the basic need to keep your head and neck in alignment in all your sleeping positions) that I think I would go more by preference than strictly durability issues because pillows are easier and less costly to change than mattresses.
I personally like sleeping on latex pillows because I like the freedom of movement (either solid and zoned or shredded which I’m leaning more towards lately because it can be "scrunched more which I like) but my DH much prefers the more stable and less springy feel of good quality and “safe” memory foam. It really is a matter of preference IMO once the basic alignment needs are looked after.
Most importantly of all … congratulations on your new mattress. It’s great to see the members here doing such good research and connecting with “good people”
