I'm returning to Korea after a year away. In my last stint, I couldn't find a decent pillow in any store in my local area (including Carreffour), so I'm considering bringing at least one over with me. Obviously, pillows are not the most space-efficient items so I'd much rather buy one when I get back to Seoul. Are good pillows available anywhere these days???

If you've got one you really love, consider a vacuum pack. It should save on space, and you can use it on your clothes too.

Dongdaemun sells lots of pillows. There is one big building full of bedding. Not sure how to tell you to get to it, though.

The one I bought was overstuffed, and gives me a neckache.

Yeah, Dongdaemun. Or the ritzy, snobby, m'lady's boudoir boutiques of Gagnam. Or online. Or sleep with one of those hard, bean-bag-type Korean bricks. Good for health you know?

There are some places that sell Simmons mattresses. I'm sure they would also have duck down pillows. We found a couple around Ahyeon Station (Line 2).

Good luck!

I found a few German mattresses that sure were comfy... and cheaper than the overpriced US imports. Same single-wrapped coil style, too.

you could buy a down pillow for 100 bucks at home pluse... i got a cork-filled one for 20... they're not the best, but better than some flat foam piece of crap or oversized neck breaker, imo
