No more pillow drama!
There are commercials everywhere telling you that you're not sleeping because your mattress is too firm or too soft or that you need a custom setting for each sleep cycle. Personally, my bed is awesome. My husband and I are one sleep number away from each other. But sleeping can still be an issue with neck and shoulder issues.
The problem is I love squishing my pillow like a teddy bear, which is not supportive or helping me sleep. I tried putting my squishy pillow on top of a firm memory foam one; and that worked for a bit. We even have one that failed so bad it got donated to the cat - he sleeps on anything.
When Relax Home Life offered a sample of their Bamboo Pillow With Shredded Memory Foam and Stay Cool Removable Cover to try I jumped at the chance.
Opening it was so weird! It's bundled in a tight tube and flat as a pancake. All I could think was, 'what did I get myself into?'
After a bit of shaking and punching and fluffing the pancake took on a pillow form. I will point out I did not follow the instructions, which state: When opened the product might have smell and would not fluff immediately. After it is opened give it a massage and leave it for 24 hours and it will be fine.
My first night was a bit rough - which is why I highly recommend following the instructions. But it was so soft! I was ready to suffer just to bear hug this pillow.
The following night I woke up refreshed. I looked at the time, looked at the pillow and gave the rest of my collection a heave onto the floor. By the 3rd night I slept so well I stole the whole KING SIZE comforter - something I haven't done since before I had kids.
By the 5th night my pillow and I became one. Even though I move in my sleep to both sides as well as my stomach, in addition to propping it up for a better reading position the pillow simply says okay and done. No fluffing, no repositioning, no more pillow drama!
At the end of the week my old pillows were like the toys in Toy Story - on their own to brave the world or at least my floor. I still have a heart!
If you have trouble sleeping, before you go out and spend money on a new mattress or any other pillow give the Bamboo Pillows a try. In addition to this version, they offer a body pillow and a reflux wedge. And the prices are budget-friendly. I may even get my husband his own. Maybe.
