I know you can go into any major store and find what they are calling a “memory foam pillow”, but the truth of the matter is you are not really getting a quality product. You are probably getting a product that was made in China and has who knows how many un-healthy chemicals in it.

Being in this industry I can’t tell you how many people (but its lots and lots) have come up to me telling stories about buying a memory foam pillow from a major store chain (like Wal Mart) and being truly disappointed by the quality of the product the purchased. They also tell me about the horrible smell the off brand memory foam has, and being even further frustrated when they find the product is made in China.

I hate when people waste money like this, but Rocky Mountain Mattress does have a solution. We offer Sensus memory foam pillows made with quality Foamex brand - made right in America. Sensus memory foam was rated the overall highest quality memory foam mattress by the Wall Street Journal, even beating out Tempur Pedic.

You will not be disappointed with a Rocky Mountain Mattress Sensus Memory Foam Pillow. Here is a picture of the 5lb. Sensus Memory Foam Pillow: Check out the amazing molding that this pillow can do! Talk about a good nights sleep, and healthy neck. No more kinked neck, and waking up sore with this pillow.

How many of you reading this just spent the night sleeping on a pillow you purchased over a year ago? two years ago? five years ago? I would place my money on more than 50% of you currently have a pillow that is more than two years old. I would simply like to say…disgusting! If you haven’t replaced your old pillow within the last year you should really consider it. Not only are you probably sleeping on a pillow showing a few years worth of drool, sweat, spills, and other stains…we all know what I’m talking about. You know, when you take the pillow case off to find a brownish yellowish looking pillow instead of the nice white satin look it used to have. Along with sleeping on that surface, you are breathing in all kinds of things you shouldn’t throughout the long night. For more on what you may or may not be breathing in view my recent post on Hypoallergenic Mattresses and Mattress Covers.

A “quality” pillow should be replaced about once every year…or about every third toothbrush or so. I say “quality” because a quality pillow is a pillow that you probably didn’t pick up at the dollar store. We feature many quality pillows on our site that range in price from about $50.00 to $100.00. You can get memory foam pillows or latex pillows from us and there are many other styles you can purchase elsewhere.

Recently, a lot of attention has been focused on pillow replacement. There was a story featured in the Today Show talking about how dirty your pillows actually are. They had four volunteer bring their pillows with them to the show and had scientists test their pillows for cleanliness and found skin cells, bodily secretions, animal hair and dander, bacteria and fungi, dust mites and dust mite fragments, waste, and more on their pillows. To watch the footage click here.

Simply stated, if your pillow is more than a year old consider replacing it with a new pillow before you spend another night on it.

This morning I woke up with a kinked neck…ouch! Throw away the batteries for my alarm clock because I can’t get to sleep! I hate going through my day without being able to give the bobble head hello. You know; where you see someone you think you know, or someone you know but don’t really want to talk to…you give them the quick head move to say hi. Well…I can’t do that today as the kink in my neck is resting just below and behind my left ear. Here’s how my kink became.

First of all I couldn’t fall asleep. I just got a new bed a few months ago…it’s an air bed with latex as the topper (click here to see my bed). It wasn’t the bed that was causing the problem, but my mind. I couldn’t shut it off. All these thoughts were running through my head and the song Good Night Sweetheart was on replay mode for a few hours. After falling asleep I’m sure I wrestled with an invisible bear or something because I woke up all twisted around and my memory foam pillow was on the floor. Not only do I love my brand new bed, but I love my pillow as well.

Let’s hope I sleep better tonight!
