Different people have different pillow preferences. My husband has the flattest pillows. They completely confound me. I don’t even understand why he has a pillow at all if he’s going to have one as flat as his.

As for me, I’m a fluffy pillow gal all the way. I grew up with feather pillows, actually, but as I developed allergies over the years, I have been told to steer clear of those.

So now I have a pile of 3-4 pillows (not kidding) that are each very flat but that when combined are tall enough for me.

Are you surprised to hear that I have serious neck pains? Shocking, I know….

Getting the Right Pillow
I’ve known for quite some time now that I needed to invest in a quality pillow that would properly support my head and neck and also be fluffy, just like I like. But it can be a real challenge not to be short-sighted when making a pillow purchase. At my age, I know better than to buy a cheap pillow that will wear out in 6 months, and yet, I find myself doing it again and again rather than saving up for a pillow that will perform better.

The wait it over. Finally. I am the proud owner of a Savvy Rest Shredded Latex Pillow. Let me tell you why this is a particularly excellent choice for a place to rest your head.

• The soft, shredded latex is designed to conform to your head and neck for lasting comfort
• The pillow is custom fit to your preference. It comes over-stuffed, so you just keep removing stuffing until you get the pillow exactly how you like it
• The materials in this pillow are natural and non-toxic

I’ve been using the pillow for several weeks, now, and I’m excited to tell you about my experience. Even though I do really love fluffy pillows, the Savvy Rest pillow really and truly is overstuffed. I don’t think anyone would want to sleep on it as is! But removing the shredded latex is easy to do. It took me about 3 nights to get the pillow exactly how I wanted it. I erred on the cautious side when removing the shredded latex, as I sense that putting the stuffing back in would be similar to putting toothpaste back into a tube. Better to just remove a little bit at a time until you get it where you like.

Once I got it to the right place for me, I started to enjoy sleeping even more. I have noticed a significant positive difference in how my neck feels. My neck pains are not completely gone, but they are much improved.

I have resisted getting a higher quality pillow for so long. Have you done the same? I can now tell you from experience that I believe they are worth it. I feel so much better sleeping on a quality pillow. It makes a difference in how tired/cranky I feel all day long. Now I see that this is something I should have done a really long time ago. I’m now very curious about the natural latex mattresses offered by the company. I bet they feel like clouds!
