Hi, I am looking for a down pillow to buy here in Seoul. I have serious neck problems with my basic cotton pillows. When I arrived, I actually thought they would be good. They aren't just flat, but I guess they aren't good enough because I'm having extreme pain every morning when I wake up.

I was thinking maybe one of the nice hotels like Lotte Hotel might sell the bedding, linens, and pillows that they use in the guest rooms. (Hotels in the states do that kind of thing, right?)

Other than that, I am at a loss. If you've seen "luxury" pillows or just good fluffy pillows, please point me in the right direction! THANK YOUUU

I have a pillow bought at e-mart that does the trick. Very soft and down-like, but not actual down.

You can (sometimes) find down pillows at Costco. Not as of yesterday, but I know I saw them there last year, and I think it is a winter seasonal thing, so probably soon.

Also you could translate the words "down" and "pillow" into Korean and try a search on Gmarket. I haven't tried it, but just a thought.

Homeplus has them too but they are not cheap (what is in Korea though). Gmarket has them too although they seem to sell only in pairs there.

Thanks for the help, guys! Just in case someone came across this and was wondering the same, I found 2 at EMart that I was happy with. One was 19,000W, and it was pretty good. I opted to get the 49,000W option, because it was EXACTLY what I wanted. The cheaper version would probably have been fine, but I didn't want to take any chances. Thanks again!
