HOW MANY PILLOWS HAVE I FLUFFED? By Pennie Hunt

HOW MANY PILLOWS HAVE I FLUFFED? By Pennie Hunt
 
I love pillows. I have them on every couch, every chair, and every bed in my home. I have seasonal pillows for fall, Christmas, and Easter. I have a variety of colors to change the mood of a room.

Do I have a pillow problem? I don’t think so. I just love pillows.

Years ago, a terrible car accident left me with neck and back pain. Now I require a small pillow for my lower back in my car for driving and in chairs where I sit for any period of time.

My biggest issue is finding the perfect pillow for sleeping.

I have tried the kind with chunks of foam that made me feel like I was sleeping on a foam pit in a trampoline park. I have purchased specialty pillows with ergonomically correct cutouts that contour around my neck. These pillows left me feeling like I was sleeping on a rock, and I use the word sleeping loosely... it was more like spending my nights in torture.

Feather pillows cause me to wake up with my nose so congested that I can’t breathe. I have tried horseshoe-shaped travel pillows and pillows with fancy names like clouds, ring, donut, and nuzzle. I have slept on foam, feathers, gel, memory, latex, down, and faux down.

My newest purchase was spurred by an advertisement stating that it would be like the best pillow in a 5-star hotel. I have slept well on some hotel pillows and found myself trying to decode the tag on the pillow to purchase one like it. Because of this, the advertisement caught my attention.

So far, it isn’t too bad. I will need several more nights connecting with the new pillow before I am ready to commit to saying it is the perfect one. When I score a pillow, ​I​ use several criteria. How much I toss and turn. How many times I must flip it over, fold it in half, and fluff it in the middle of the night. Neck pain and comfort are a high priority. And this may sound strange, but smell is a big thing for me. Maybe you haven’t noticed, but foam can have a distinct smell. If it has a strong foam smell the relationship with me and that pillow is over.

My linen closet is filled with an expensive number of pillows that didn’t work for me. I haven’t given up. My quest for the perfect bed partner is not over. I dream of resting my head gently into a perfect cloud of softness that cradles my neck and allows me to sleep in pain-free, dreamy comfort.

Are my expectations too high? I don’t think so. My perfect pillow is out there, and I will continue to fluff until the perfect one is found. I believe my persistence will lead me to the pillow of my dreams.
