$100 Pillow

September 8th, 2007 at 12:09 am

Yesterday I got one of those $100 Tempurpedic pillows...for free. My mother had bought it a couple of months ago, slept on it for a couple weeks and decided she didn't like it. For whatever reason she didn't try to take it back, like she did the bed when she decided she didn't like it. I've used it a couple times when I took a nap at her house when I wasn't feeling well and I liked it.

Anyway, she offered it to me. Last night I slept on it and had what was probably the best sleep of my life. Combined with the new mattress, I may never have serious back, neck or hip aches again.

I have been wanting one of those pillows because I have just never found a regular pillow that I really liked. But I really didn't want to shell out $100 when that money could go to so much better use elsewhere.

I am a happy camper. My insomnia is almost completely gone now.

My next agenda in the bed department is to replace the children's mattresses. Neither one of them has ever had a new mattress. Their mattresses are garage sale finds that had been used but kept in plastic. Neither mattress is that comfortable (in my opinion) just to sit on.

Costco has some really nice twin mattresses for $139 (boxsprings are extra). I don't need boxsprings since Tobias has a Captain's bed that used to be his Daddy's and Rose's boxspring is in good shape. With tax it should come to $302. So we will get those with part of the extra money from DH working extra weeks.

    I've wanted to try a Tempurpedic pillow, too! I've seen knock-offs at Target. I'm curious if they are as good.

    I would really doubt that they are as good. But they might be good enough. You can go to a bed store and try out the tempurpedic pillows. I don't think Target would let you try them out in the store! LOL But even if you try the real ones and then go to Target and feel up the knock off pillows you might get an idea whether or not they are good enough.

    Egads! Well, congrats on your new pillows. Big Grin
    I use a foam pillow too, but it's a more affordable knock-off. It isn't that bad though.
