I have a confession to make. I have used the same pillow for over 20 years. Sad I know, but let me tell you why. My pillow is my security blanket, just like Linus's blanket in the Charlie Brown series. It is also the only firm pillow in my home among a sea of down pillows that were all purchased for me by my mom. Down pillows are just too soft for me and I find it very difficult to go to sleep if I use one. So I have kept my dear old pillow around for much longer than I know is good for me and my neck.
Lately, I am waking up with a stiff neck and I know that my well loved pillow is contributing to my condition. So when I was asked to try the Rejuvenation™ Memory Foam Pillow by Sleep Innovations®, I jumped at the chance to do a pillow "upgrade".
The Rejuvenation Pillow align your head and neck by giving you the correct shoulder, neck and head support. According to the product website -
"Ordinary pillows can restrict your breathing, pressure on your chest increases, and you awaken stiff and tired. The Rejuvenation™ Pillow from Sleep Innovations® was designed by sleep scientists to correct these problems."
The pillows contour shape is said to be at an ideal 18-degree angle to improve breathing through your nose and mouth.
Not for Stomach Sleeping...
I have been using the pillow for the past two weeks instead of my old pillow and I have a few observations. It took me a while to get used to the pillow because I am a creature of habit - good or bad. I have been sleeping in the same positions for most of my life so it took me a few nights to adjust to having a pillow properly align my shoulders, neck and head.
Also I tend to sleep on my stomach, which is definitely not a sleep position that this pillow is meant for. This pillow is designed for someone that sleeps exclusively on their back or side. Because of the 18-degree angle, the pillow actually forced me to sleep on my back or side and stopped me from sleeping on my stomach.
Once I settled in, I found I much prefered this pillow to my old one and a woke without the stiff neck. I have also found that this pillow is perfect for propping up my head while working on my laptop while in bed or while watching television. The Sleep Innovations® Rejuvenation™ Memory Foam Pillow retails for around $60 on Amazon.com.
