We recently won £200 worth of The White Company bedding so selected two sets of super-soft egyptian cotton sets (more on these in an upcoming post). With such luxurious new bedding, our twisted and lumpy pillows really needed replacing.
We’ve been wondering about memory foam pillows for some time. We have a (albeit now 4 years old) Tempur mattress and swear by it, but I couldn’t get my head around memory foam pillows and how they might actually be comfortable. When we were recently contacted by The Bedding Company to try some out for size, I had to give it a go. I have no idea how we ever slept without them!
I’m so fussy about pillows and like them to be firm enough to survive a lot of tossing and turning. I don’t think you should sink into your pillows, rather they should support your neck and retain their shape well. The claims of Silentnight’s Memory Foam Shell Pillows therefore seemed right up our street:
- Extra comfort Memory Foam Traditional Pillow gives extended support to the neck and shoulders.
- Memory Foam shell moulds to your contours and reacts to your body temperature reducing pressure on your joints.
- Supports your neck in its natural position.
I can honestly say that they are fabulous. They are full and shapely so look incredibly inviting on our bed. In the morning, as soon as our heads leave the pillow, they plump up again and look as though they haven’t endured 8 hours worth of pummeling by me (Craig is always accusing me of being a fidget-bum).
Prior to using these pillows I used to wake with a stiff neck. I sleep on my front with one arm crooked under the pillow and the old lumpy pillows used to offer zero support. These pillows are incredibly firm and I no longer feel my arm beneath my head when I sleep. They’ve made an incredible difference to how I feel when I wake. I’m thinking we’ll need one for Dexter as he’s started using a pillow in his cot now.
The Bedding Company’s website is really easy to navigate and excellent value for money. Delivery is free and many items have 3 years warranty. There are also some really useful guides to help you select which product is right for you. Thumbs up from me!
