Product Review
As I get older each year, quality sleep becomes more and more important to me. Whenever I don’t get a good night of sleep, I ache all over and become extremely grumpy the next day. It affects my work, my mood, energy levels – Basically everything. And it’s not just me – so many people around me, including my husband, struggle with sleep issues every night (I am pretty sure you might be one of those who suffers from bad quality sleep too!)
My husband often finds it hard to get a good night of sleep and would complain of neck, back and shoulder pain when he wakes up the next day. We used to think it was because of our 15-year-old mattress (that was probably one of the reasons of course), but when he had the chance to try out Sleep Made To Measure pillow the last few months, we realized how big a difference a good and suitable pillow makes! If bad sleep is not reason good enough for you to get this pillow, I’m sharing 5 reasons today why you totally need a Sleep Made To Measure pillow:
Reason #1: It Is Made To Measure.
I am sure you know anything customised is always better. If normal pillows sold in the market are good enough, we would not be experiencing any aches and pains! Sleep Made To Measure pillows are the only ones in the world that requires you to be measured before you get your pillow! You can be measured in two ways for a Pillow Made to Measure - Directly online when purchasing or by purchasing a redeemable Pillow measuring kit that will be mailed to you. Or, you can always get yourself measured at one of the shops selling the pillows. For our review purpose, we met up with one of the staff who demonstrated to us how measurements were taken, and to learn more about how important good pillows are.
One of the our best takeaways from this session was learning that our sleeping postures are totally wrong and bad for a good night’s sleep! I would safely say that most people are sleeping in the wrong posture every night – It’s no wonder we hear of people complaining of pains and aches all the time!
Do you sleep this way? IT’S WRONG!
This sleeping posture adds pressure to the shoulders underneath and back, so after a whole night of sleeping this way, you wake up with shoulder and back pains, especially if you have a soft pillow that is not able to support your neck properly. It is very likely your head will sink downwards and the posture will cause a strain to the neck area. Besides using a Sleep Made To Measure Contour Pillow, the staff advised us to hug a pillow or cushion when we sleep on the side, as well as tug a small cushion in between our legs for better support. This way, our whole body will be nicely cushioned during sleep and we will sleep better too. The husband tried this posture and said he could immediately feel the difference. The weight on the shoulders was greatly reduced and he felt a lot more comfortable in this position as well.
When you customise your pillows, four essential factors are taken into consideration (Yes, I was surprised to know about this too! Didn’t know that there are so many things to consider!):
a) Build Of Your Body
The width of your shoulder in conjunction of your bed is measured. This is used to determine the height of the pillow, so that your neck and head are kept in a relaxed and neutral position.
b) Your Weight
This helps them to determine the density that the pillows need to be. This will help you to better maintain the neutral position that is essential for a healthy night’s sleep.
c) Your Sleep Habits
This is essential for matching you with the right pillow. After all, different positions will have a different set of needs for these pillows.
d) Your Bed
The type of bed you use will have different support needs based on the material and size.
Now that’s why customization is always better!
Reason #2: It Provides Better Support.
My husband is one classic example of a tall and lean person who often experiences body aches after a night of sleep because he has a rather long neck, which is hard to be supported by a normal soft pillow. Sleep Made To Measure Contour Pillow provides a much better support to his neck because it is customised to the right shape and contour, and retains its shape well. As a result of that, he gets better sleep quality every night and lesser interruptions due to adjustment of the body for a more comfortable fit. After close to three months of using the pillow, I don’t hear him complain about neck and shoulder aches anymore! In fact, he wakes up feeling more refreshed and rested everyday, and definitely much happier because of that!
See how fitted the pillow is to his neck and shoulders? This is the key to a good night of sleep!
Reason #3: It Is Comfortable.
What good is a pillow if it is only supportive and not comfortable? With Sleep Made To Measure Contour Pillow, you can be assured that you will get the best of both worlds – Your neck, shoulders and body get the support they need without compromising on comfort. It is firm on the inside, yet soft on the surface. Every pillow comes with a fitted lightly quilted organic cotton that protects the pillow and keeps the sleeping surface soft. Every Sleep Made To Measure Contour pillow purchased also comes with a slip over cotton cover that is easily washable. The husband especially loves the little support pillow sent over for him to hug in between his legs – It’s soft, fluffy and very cuddly!
Reason #4: It Is Hypoallergenic.
All I can say is – “Don’t underestimate the material used in making your pillow!” The creator of Sleep Made To Measure Contour Pillow is Dr Andrew Macfarlane DC (DO Osteopath and Chiropractor), who literally made hundreds of pillows using different materials before deciding on 100% certified organic latex. This material is hypoallergenic, which means it’s suitable for people with allergies and asthma because it will not cause breathing problems or aggravate existing respiratory conditions. Smooth breathing always makes for a better sleep experience!
Reason #5: Great For Kids Too!
As parents, we often find ourselves having to deal with kids who struggle to focus and pay attention. Apart from the fact that they may be hyperactive and overly stimulated during the day, one of the reasons may be because they are not getting good quality sleep at night. Research has proven that good sleep gives us clearer mind and thoughts, so if we are able to help our kids get a good night’s sleep, they will wake up more refreshed and ready to learn and absorb in school. That tackles the root of the problem, in my opinion, and don’t we always want to give the best to our kids? :)
Thanks to Sleep Made To Measure Contour Pillows, my husband now wakes up every morning feeling more refreshed and energized. Even I can feel the difference in his energy level and mood!
