Pillow Forts
Due to the extreme number of pillows I have been encountering in my travels of late, I have decided to endeavor into a "pillow fort stage". In this stage of my life, I will build a sleeping fort from the armloads of gratuitous fluffety pillows adorning my sleeping slab. I will sleep within the fort, making an effort to touch ALL the pillows every night to gather the most extreme and luxurious sleeping experience possible. The results of my research shall be posted in the near future...
Tonight's experiement begins with a simple 4-pillow arrangement on a standard medium-firm Holiday Inn King Size bed.
In an effort to embrace my past, I may also post information about future research into hotel bed tents and the relative springability of said hotel beds. I hope, in the case of the springability, to determine whether children simply delight in denying their parents satisfactory obedience on a nightly basis, or if they actually enjoy jumping on their beds.
Ooh. :) This just in. Its kinda fun.

You got a comment already? Thats just ridiculous.
Well, I don't want to seem cliche, but I used an old addage of my grandmother to solve a similar problem with myself. I have had, on rare occasion, a pillow that nearly self-combusts. I say nearly because it only amounts to a large amount of dark, acrid pillow smoke when oxidating.
Anyway, back to Grandma.
I'm not sure what the "...ificationess" part was on the study you wanted me to do, so I made some substitutions. I hope you don't mind. All I had was a hydrology minor, so I used that instead.
Dude....just soak them in cold water for 5 minutes in the tub before you go to bed at night. Make sure you use a loose, thin pillow case. When the cloth clings to your head like paper mache, it will apply a thin layer of moisture, wicking heat quickly away from the cranial region. When this doesn't work, I usually try to keep a small stack of bricks in the freezer.
Grandma always said: "Aw, just put some cold water on it..."
I really can't get into reverse-engineering your pillows right now, which is probably the real solution to your problem. I believe this rare paper by Topher Crawfield, (1996) may shed some light onto your problem. Please read this article late at night for best result. http://www23.pair.com/joe427/papers/escape.htm
Somebody needs a wife... or a life... most likely both...
I thank you for the most unforseeable joy that the article by Topher Crawfield (1996) brought to my life. So do my roommates.
