Sleeping goodness (no memories)

I can't say that I have a problem sleeping. Whenever I feel like it, I put on C-Span on the TV or an old Columbo episode and I'm in the world of dreams in 10 minutes or less (thank you C-Span, thank you Lt. Columbo). I do have a problem with my neck and my spine - they sometimes hurt when I wake up - and I do not always feel fully rested in the morning.
Well... to make one boring story shorter, I received this pillow pair last night and I immediately put it to good use. I woke up this morning well rested and pain-free, as far as my neck and my back are concerned? Coincidence? It's hard to tell but, I WILL revisit this review the moment it is apparent that it was not this pillow that made the difference.
I will summarize below my Sleep Studio experience. Just keep in mind that sleeping is, of course, on of the more intimate/personal aspects of our life and, therefore, my own experience may be the complete opposite of someone else's.
- It does NOT smell, as far as I can tell. I tend to be sensitive to fragrances and use all-natural soap and allergy-free laundry detergent which makes me believe that I would have detected any unusual odors.
- It is firm but it is not rock-hard. My wife bought me a new pillow a couple of months ago which I call 'the brick'. On a scale of 1 to 10, if 'the brick' was an 8, this pillow would be a 4.
- It is not very large but the size is adequate for one person - I am 6'2" and, even though the pillow 'appeared' a bit small before I used it, the size ceased to matter the moment I closed my eyes.
My rating is a 5-star because I haven't felt so rested in the morning in quite a while and yesterday was a VERY stressful day for me.

2 nights later, my rating remains 'excellent'. I wake up better rested than I used to. One note - I can't use it to support my back while reading in bed. I need a couple of traditional pillows for that. |
Get it! The best pillow ever. Bought for everyone.

| I was doubtful, but, I ordered one for myself. WOW what a difference! So much so that I ordered more for my family. They love it and they feel so much better after a great night sleep. Enjoy yours! |
Great pillows and a great buy!

| Great Pillows and very soft cover. Highly recommended. This is my 2nd purchase of this type of ergonomic pillow and this one is much better quality than the first one I bought. |

| These pillows were an amazing buy. They fit your head perfectly and form to the perfect adjustment. I use it every night. |
It's What I Thought... Unfortunately?

I had a feeling "memory" foam pillows were going to be classified in two categories: Tempurpedic and "other". Almost all non Tempurpedic pillows I've felt have felt just like normal foam. But I have a Sleep Innovations/Novaform mattress with a layer of memory foam, and that layer of memory foam is high quality, almost Tempurpedic quality. Knowing that, I was hoping other companies would also have the higher quality memory foam. Of course there was a big warning sign in that the Novaform Memory Foam pillows also feel like normal foam.
Anyways, I saw this product and was impressed by the price. On sale, it's about 25% of the price of the Tempurpedic AND the "retail" price is the price of a Tempurpedic so I figured I would give it a try.
Well, don't believe the "original" price. The "original" price is a little more than a Tempurpedic but it's definitely not even close to Tempurpedic quality. The pillows aren't bad, but if you're expecting a pillow like a Tempurpedic, you're going to be disappointed. Go to any store that sells pillows and feel a non Tempurpedic pillow in the $30 range. That's basically what it feels like. Then imagine it being quite firm (as someone said) but I think it'll get softer as you use it more. I was kind of put off by how firm it was at first, but over the night, it got more comfortable. I can see some people not liking the firmness though.
The price is good, and the quality looks pretty good. I had no problems with any odor. In fact it didn't smell much even straight out of the package. |
