effective human

Some studies suggest that as many as 1 in 4 people suffer from sleep troubles such as insomnia.  There are many ways to approach curing insomnia, from natural to medical.  Because many people would like to avoid medicines and pills if at all possible, the most obvious things to try are those that change your sleeping environment, such as the bed, pillows, sheets, etc. One item of particular focus is the pillow, as it dictates the alignment of your body and how comfortable your sleep really can be.

I finally decided to lay my old pillow to rest this past February. It was old and battered, and I was ready to purchase something that was made with the sole intent of improving the users sleep.  I was thinking about getting a new memory foam pillow after hearing rave reviews from many of my friends on how it improved my sleep.  But, before I made the purchase, I wanted to be able to choose the exact right pillow for me.

In my quest for the right pillow I listed out the pros and cons of each type I was considering.  I’ve provided the handy list I made for you below.

Memory Foam Pillows

Pros:

• Comfortably cradles your head when you sleep.
• Keeps your head aligned with your body.
• NASA designed it so it must be cool.

Cons:

• Not that these is a con really, but it doesn’t last forever. A few years of constant use and it sags.

Latex foam pillows

Pros:

• Keeps your body in a proper “S” position when you sleep.
• It doesn’t sag over time like the memory foam pillow does.

Cons:

• It can smell a bit weird for the first few days.

After some thorough examination, testing, and careful consideration, I finally found the exact right memory foam pillow for me (I decided to not get a latex version). I was convinced that I have the best memory foam pillow available! Just when I thought my mind was made up, I saw that they were offering the same pillow in a king size version! As soon as I heard that I was sold!  I love large, luxurious pillow that I can just fall into.  And, finding it in my preferred foam style was incredible.  II bought it right away and I even got a memory foam contour pillow along with it. It is specially designed to follow the shape of your back and is best when you sit for a long period of time.

I am really glad that I can rest comfortably with what I bought. I still think about what it would be like if I bought the latex pillows instead. Maybe I’ll find out next time!
