I KNOW we have all experienced it… the dreaded kink in your neck after waking up from a less-than-comforting sleep. I know I have, and I hate it so much. And to think that all that can change with a good pillow has me really rethinking things.
When it comes to sleep, we all have our different ways of sleeping. Whether it be on your side, stomach, or side, everyone is different. So why on earth are all pillows the same?
Well, Sleep Number has invented something pretty dang cool. It is the Sleep Number Create Your Perfect Pillow! I had the opportunity to try this out and build my very own, perfect pillow for ME.
First, I selected which size of pillow I wanted, which was the standard size pillow. Next, you choose your outer comfort shell, mine was the memory foam.
Then, you choose your inner support core. Mine was the memory foam contour. After that, you choose your protector. I chose the In balance.
Here is what I got:
Sleep Number kept me up to date on when I would receive my pillow and then when it was finally shipped out. I loved that they always updated me! When my pillow did arrive, it came not put together. At first I did not understand it. But, with further searching, I figured it out and put it all together.
How it arrived…
What I did was zip open the main pillow (the darker one) and insert the white pillow into it. Zipped it up and put the In Balance sleep cover over it and a pillow case! Easy peasy when you know what you are doing! Wish it came with more thorough directions!
Now, the first night I slept on this pillow, I was in heaven. This pillow was truly made for ME! It supports my neck, head and helps my shoulders not have so much pressure put on them.
It is firm but still soft. It is a heavier pillow too. I sleep so much better than with my old pillows. I am a side sleeper all the way, and this pillow helps support my neck and shoulders when I sleep on my side. I am definitely going to build one for my hubby for Christmas this year!
