…It’s what we all crave. Whether you’re spending long hours studying for that midterm or spending too much time at the office, face it, we all need a comfortable sanctuary to spend those precious few hours of sleep. So why not try to get the best bedding components to ensure a deep, REM-inducing sleep? Once of the easiest and least expensive remedy (save for completely overhauling your bed) is to buy a new Pillow. Pillows, like your underwear, should be replaced on a regular basis. It doesn’t matter if you had that “special” pillow since you were a young’un, your neck, back, and spine will suffer as pillows lose their resilience and support over the years. Also, they get rather dirty. To correct this, there are many new innovative pillows that are sure to suit your tastes.
Pacific Coast Feather Down Pillows
Feather down pillows are allergy free, undeniably soft, and wear resistant. If you want the ultimate in luxury, the Pacific Coast Double Down PIllows features a durable and supportive inner pillow of feathers surrounded by and outer layer of down feathers. And depending on your preference and health needs, the double down pillows come in varying degrees of firmness (or softness, whatever). These hotel grade pillows can run from $5 to nearly $200 a pop but are well worth the price! To guarantee the integrity of the pillows, The Pacific Coast Feather Company also offer warranties of up to 5 years for most of their pillows. In addition, If feathers from bird’s just aren’t your thing (either due to allergies or lifestyle), try down alternative pillows that use microgel to simulate the feel of down pillows.
Contour Pillows
If you constantly wake up with a stiff neck, specially shaped pillows that provide extra support for the neck and a groove for the head may offer some relief. Natura Contour Pillows specialize in pillows that fit your head and neck. They offer the classic contour style pillow (featured here) as well as more contemporary and innovative designs. Contour pillows are almost always made of memory foam. But if you hate the restrictive design of contour pillows, you may want to consider:
Soy Memory Foam Pillows
All the softness of a contour pillow without the odd shape. Memory foam pillows provide customized support for your head and neck. They also remain cool throughout the night. So no more fussing with the pillow and turning it over and over in the middle of the night! But are you Eco conscious? Magellan’s offers a Soy Memory Foam Pillow made from sustainable materials. Now you can sleep soundly at night knowing that you are reducing your carbon footprint and helping the environment.
Happy Z’s!
Contour pillows are terrific. I found a site that is a match made in heaven between contour pillows and satin pillowcases. This company, A Touch Of Satin, makes satin pillowcases to fit contour pillows and memory foam pillows. They have a page on their website that talks about the benefits of sleeping on satin for your hair and skin. It’s so much better for you than a cotton pillowcase. You might want to read what they have to say. Their website is http://www.atouchofsatin.com I think you’ll find it very interesting.
This is very up-to-date information. I’ll share it on Digg.
Very nice post, I share the same position about this.
