New Pillows

For over a month I have had problems sleeping and waking up with a headache so I finally broke down and bought some new pillows. Now I am not talking about the five dollar pillows that you can buy at wal-mart these cost sixty dollars a piece. It was hard for a penny pincher like me to spend that kind of money on a pillow but it has been a great investment. I could not believe the difference in quality and what that has meant for my comfort and sleep time. So this old tight wad has one piece of advice for you, go ahead and spend a little extra for some good quality pillows and bedding you will be glad you did.

I couldn't agree with you more. I always used to buy those cheap pillows and I woke up with stiffness in my neck and back. I invested in the contour pillows and what a difference they've made not only in how well I sleep but also in how I feel when I wake up. No more stillness at all. I'm a tightwad too but I find that paying more for quality always pays off in the long run.

I agree in the long run it is well worth the money. What hurt me worse than spending the money was having to admit to my wife that she was right.

LOL. I'm sure that my husband can relate but he would probably tell you that after 36 years, he's used to me being right. It's a lot easier!

Hi Kindredspirits. I agree with you. When it comes to our health we can't be economic. We must think about that as an investment. I have the habit to sleep in fetus position so I need a pillow that have the right height to keep my head in the right position if not I get neck pain and back pain. Better to spend some money more than feel pain. Have a nice day.
