I have some shitty pillows (Ikea's cheapest) and bad shoulder / neck pain. Would like to go for something better on the basis that it might help, but these things seem to cost rather a lot of money so I'm appealing to the pillow-isti. Main contenders appear to be Dunlopillo (latex) and Tempur (memory foam).

I bought a memory foam pillow a year ago and my only regret was not buying one much sooner. Like you I used to suffer from neck & shoulder pain but not any more. As you say, they're not cheap but they are worth every penny.
Did you go for a brand (if so, which?) or an Ebay no-name special? Have heard that the cheapos are somehow not as good but of course this could be FUD. -- TD 2000 GSX1300RX (red and black) Missing: SOB, Unreliable Italian exotica, cage - What with the Internet, it doesn't take long to feel like one is an - expert on any subject these days.
seem to be loads on Amazon at varying prices from a fiver to £72. Loads of reviews to trawl through. Think I'll stick to the claret as the effect is reliable.
Perhaps a change of sleeping posture might help. When I got a really bad neck/left shoulder crick I found if I slept on my front with the pillow in a line from left side of my head, under my neck and to the right shoulder, it made all the difference.

work out haw long you stay in bed . Pay top dollar it will not cure your bad neck but it will still be better than a cheap one.
SWMBO swears by her 'Carpenter Sleep Better' specially shaped pillow. 'Isotonic' foam, with a double bump profile. Can't find it quickly (browsing via mobile braodband), but ought to be in here somewhere: http://sleepbetter.org/home/recommended-sleep-products/pillow-recommendations/
We replaced all of our hollowfibre filled ones with Dunlopillo latex ones - Supet Comfort I think and we're about £35 (although that may have been in a sale). They're great. When we stay away overnight now, we take them with us!
