| pwe7's Full Review: Sleep Innovations Novaform Coutour Pillow Standard... |
Well today isn't a rainy day, it's actually a cold, snowy, slushy day. But if it's too miserable to go out(like today) I usually curl up with a good book in my bed, or maybe do some cross stitch in bed, or even take a nap in bed. Since I spend so much time in my bed when it's yucky outside I decided it must be one of the things that cheers me up on a rainy(or slushy) day. But I was way too lazy to take the sheets off my bed today to try and find out what kind of mattress I have. So I decided to do the second most comfortable thing in my bed, my pillow.
Well I guess you want to know what is that memory foam and what makes it so special?
When I first saw these pillows on some infomercial my first thought was, "oh great someone else is trying to get me to buy one of those worthless egg carton foam pillow." Then I noticed that the foam was flat and some lady was calling it memory foam. Well I don't usually watch infomercials, but I decided I could at least find out what is this memory foam and does it have a memory or does it help mine.
That's when I saw the whole spill on how NASA had developed this foam to provide relief for astronauts undergoing high G-forces. I thought to myself wow that's really interesting but I don't really have a G-force problem in my bed, or at least I don't on most nights. So how does this foam make a great pillow? Well they showed how most people wad there pillows up at night constantly trying to get comfortable. They showed that when you lie down on the Novafoam pillow it responds to your body heat and molds to your head and neck. Then when you move the pillow moves with you and when you get up the pillow returns to it's original contoured shape. So thats what that memory foam is. Shoot and I was hoping it would improve my memory. Well I sat on my couch a little curious thinking how much are these pillows? Now I don't remember the exact price but I think they were like $40 or $50 plus shipping a handling fee which was like another $10 or $15. I remember thinking it's just a pillow. How could someone justify that price. Then a few months ago at Costco they had them for $29.99 and I figured well that's a better price but what would my chiropractor think about this pillow. I didn't want to injure my neck after all.
So at that time I was seeing my chiropractor three days a week. So at my next appointment I ask for his opinion on the pillows. He said that he thought they were really great at helping to keep the neck and back aligned. He said that if I had the money I should get the pillows and the mattress topper. Well I figured either he has stock in Sleep Innovations Inc. or he really liked these pillows too.
So I went to Costco and bought a couple of pillows to try them out. What do I think of them? I think that they are wonderful. I know I sleep more soundly. In fact the other day I didn't hear my son jump up out of bed, open his really squeaky door and knock over a bunch of stuff in the kitchen to get to the cookies. Also they must help keep everything aligned like my chiropractor said. Because after a couple months of using them, I'm now down to going to my chiropractor twice a month instead of three times a week.
