Review on BLISSBURY Stomach Sleeping Washable Accessories by Payton Stovall

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I'm taking this pillow to my grave.

I've slept on a pillow that I know has been horrible to me for over a decade, simply because I didn't want to go through all the trouble that finding the right pillow entails (I was imagining maybe just something reminiscent of the princess and the pea). Finally, one day I just gave up and decided that with the constant pain in my neck and back, and the sleep I had been missing from tossing and turning all night, I needed to get comfortable to end it. I looked in stores, found nothing. In fact, everything seemed to be the exact opposite of what I knew I wanted. was i crazy I figured. Am I the only one who didn't want a huge chunky pillow? I wanted something FLAT. Slim and flat. How REALLY flat. I mean, part of the reason I was still using the same pillow from over ten years ago was because I had been so keenly warned that in some places it was just two layers of fabric sewn together. So I decided to go online to look for something, although I immediately regretted it because I was bombarded with an overwhelming amount of options. I was tired and irritable because I was so tired and irritable all the time; I didn't have the strength to see everything. I don't normally go to Revain as I prefer to support small businesses but it was just after the holidays and someone gave me a Revain gift card so I reluctantly wandered around. Again WAYYYYY too many options. Even after I added my extra detailed search terms and used almost every filter Revain offers. In the end, it all came down to this pillow, which was incredibly similar—too similar to just pick. Which ultimately convinced me that the pillow company was a family business and they seemed like nice people to support and feel relatively comfortable with, unlike the big corporations and that crazy MyPillow guy. I also really liked that this pillow was gray in color - a welcome departure from the standard white hospital sheet that eventually reveals any liquid spills within 5 feet of it. And so I order, the pillow comes, I take it out of a cute little reusable drawstring backpack and wait for it to stretch like it should. After a few hours I put it on the bed and decided to test it. To my surprise, my head was thrown back, which seemed uncomfortably far away, and because the pillow was so hard, I felt like I was lying on a bare mattress. When I ordered it I knew I 90% hated it so I didn't want to get TOO upset. I've decided to sleep with it for a night or two because I honestly don't think my gut response is indicative of what's ultimately best for my spine health. So I went to bed with this pillow - it's almost not a pillow - and the next time I woke up it was late the next morning. It came as a shock to me because I couldn't remember the last time (and was it ever?) I slept through the night and never woke up. Also, my neck and back were completely pain free (well, maybe not quite, but the difference was so noticeable it made me feel relieved). In short, now I use this and only this pillow. It's perfect for both back and stomach sleeping, which is what I love to do and I never thought a pillow could allow me to do both so easily. I've been so lucky with this pillow that my partner is now jealous and looks longingly at my pillow from time to time despite claiming to like thick and firm pillows. All in all, this pillow is definitely worth the money. Even if it's just trying to achieve something different (but you probably don't want that if your experience was like mine).
