So Tony and I have been talking about getting new pillows for a while. I don't know about you, but we both have to have a good pillow to get sufficiant sleep. It's a very important part of getting a good nights rest. And Tony had been complaining for weeks about how flat his pillow was and it had to come to an end before one or both of us ended up killing each other because neither of us were well rested. The one's we've been sleeping on, we both brought with us when we moved into our humble abode 4 months ago that we've had since who knows when. Sunday night he had pretty much had it with his and was about to use it as a weapon in a pillow fight against who knows what/who (hoping it wasn't me because I hadn't bought us new pillows yet).
So the plan was to go hunting for new pillows after work Monday. We stopped by Shopko first because I had to get my glasses repaired, so we decided while waiting for those we would check out their fine selection of pillows and to our amazement they had what we thought were going to be the perfect pillows. I picked out a firm pillow that was 2 inches thick and semi fluffy and Tony picked out a much firmer pillow at 2.5 inches thick that looked like it was going to kink his neck after a few minutes of laying on it.
After walking around for about a half hour waiting for my glasses to be done, we happily went to the register to pay for our pillows so excited to get home and test them. That night we got into bed, after about a half hour we discovered we needed to take more time to hunt for a good pillow! Mine was flat within minutes and Tony switched back to his old pillow within an hour because he was already getting the kinked neck.
And these pillows weren't cheap by any means, we bought them on sale for $12 they were originally $25. So we were thinking we got a pretty good deal. So what have we learned when it comes to finding a good pillow?
*Go to more than one store
*Don't buy the first one's you find
*Go to stores that have a couch or bed where you can test them out (IKEA, RC Willey, Bed, Bath and Beyond, ect.)
*Spend a little more than expected even on sale
