Pillows, pillows, pillows… where to begin. Its odd…some peeps use several pillows at a time to encase them like a bird in a nest, while others will simply use a rolled up towel carefully positioned under their neck!
Pillows are just as important if not more so in how well you’ll sleep when compared to the mattress itself. With our goal to combat insomnia, chronic fatigue and just waking up tired and not feeling rested the importance of pillows cannot be overestimated. Today the choices of pillows have even more options than mattress construction when it comes to that stuffing that makes up its innards!
Like early day mattresses pillows were encased with whatever felt soft the touch. Hay, animal hair, bird feathers , plant fibers… discarded pecan or buckwheat shells…my particular favorite, lol. Today materials inspired NASA and Alien reengineered technology such as foam, organic latex and gel have seen their way to the interiors of what many of us lay are noodle on at night. Theres a short article on the early history of pillows here…….a short read, promise!
