Okay, so maybe it's because I live in a tiny little country town... but I cannot find a big, soft pillow anywhere. Every bedding store I've been to has the same tiny, hard pillows that I have to stuff into ridiculously little (and unnecessarily floral) pillow cases, thereby making the pillows even less comfortable. I've tried searching on gmarket but can't seem to narrow in on what I'm looking for.

Does anyone else have these uncomfortable pillows? Where I can get something that won't wreak so much havoc on my neck and back?

Costco has western "standard" pillows, though still a little flat for me.
However, I have yet to find standard white pillow cases; only pink, purple or "Hello Kitty" themed pillowcases at my local Homeplus.

Muji has nice soft, fluffy pillows and plain (and also very soft) pillow cases but you'll have to pay Japanese prices for them. I think the little floral ones go better with your user name.

I think Modern House sells western style pillows. They're located in New Core Outlets and 2001 Outlets. I know that's where I bought my bedding when I came to Korea 4 years ago but I can't remember if I also bought my pillows there. But they should have them. I'm 99% sure.

I bought a memory foam pillow at Costco for about 35,000won and it's worth every penny.

Can anyone tell me where I can find a memory foam mattress topper? You know the kind that was 'developed by NASA' and they sell on tv in the States at 2am.

Thanks for the help.
