QOTD.....Pillows?
I must be on some sort of bed kick this week! Maybe its because I've been working some really crazy hours, and I just look forward to getting home to much comfy bed!!!!
What kind of pillows do you have? How many do you use at a time?
I had this AWESOME down feather pillow in college. That pillow went EVERYWHERE with me! When I went home to visit my parents, I took the pillow. When I had a sleepover at a friends apartment, the pillow came with me. Then a day came when I had to toss the pillow out....somehow it developed a smell that hanging outside on the washline couldn't take out.
The next couple of years were rough ones. I bought and tried out many a pillow, but to no avail. I could never get comfortable and was always on a quest for that PERFECT pillow.
When shopping for a mattress, I came across TempurPedic. I FELL IN LOVE with their symphony pillow.....but it came with $100 price tag. Definitely not possible for a poor, recent college grad, with astronomical college loans to pay back.
Thankfully, I came across a memory foam pillow at Kohls that after discounts and coupons, came out to about $20. I bought one. Then I bought another one. I finally found my perfect pillow!
In addition to memory foam pillows, I do enjoy a GOOD down pillow...you know the kind they have at nice hotels. The ones they have at the Venetian hotel in Las Vegas comes to mind. I'm pretty sure they sell them, but I have no doubt they are out of my price range. My sister and her husband got some nice down pillows for their wedding. They had registered for them at Bed, Bath, and Beyond, but they too, were nearly $100 a piece!
When I'm alone, I will sleep with 2 pillows. When JS is home, I sleep with one....usually because I have his chest to lay on ;-)
Have a great day, everyone!!!!!

ReplyDeletewe have 6 pillows on our bed, 4 are fluffy pillows and 2 are firm. i don't know what type of pillows they are just that i buy our pillows at Kohl's and the kids at Target( i know i'm a mean mommy,smile)i use two at a time but when my love is gone i put the pillows all around me.
ReplyDeleteI sleep with two when Mr. M is gone and I'm not really sure what kind they are. I would say the one I sleep on is between soft and firm and the other one is firm (mostly because it feels like a body) and then when he's with me, I only use one. I've been wanting to get a body pillow but I'm not sure how that would work. I'll have to see =)
ReplyDeleteI have amazingly soft squishy cotton ones. We only sleep with one each but its a different story when he's not home.
