Don’t you just love infomercials I do and you’ll quite often find me sat in front of the television just before bedtime reviewing the latest must have gadgets. One of the latest that fits the theme of this blog is called the Total Pillow.
Claimed to be a versatile pillow that can change its shape to enable you to get proper support whilst sleeping or resting. If the sales literature is to be believed it will do all of the following:
- It will support head, knees, back and neck
- Due to its patented design you can lock it into any position
- Gives great lower back support
- It’s very comfortable due to its micro bead filling
I think almost any pillow you could buy these days would meet or give you most of the above benefits. I think this pillow is marginally better than a lot of the others because of its small size making it easy to transport and store and its innovative ability to change its shape.
When travelling particularly on an aeroplane getting neck placement correct is essential if we don’t want to wake up with a stiff and sore neck. This pillow although not specifically designed as a travelling pillow would do the job nicely.
Because it can be bent into many different shapes and is filled with beads as opposed to air I believe it would be much more comfortable, offer a lot more support and therefore help in keeping your neck in line with the rest of the spine whilst sleeping. This will help greatly in reducing or eliminating any tension that might build up in the neck muscles if proper support isn’t used.
This pillow comes in at $19 95 and has a buy one get one free offer. Be aware though that you do have to pay the additional shipping on the free item. This would bring your purchase to $19 95 plus $15 90 shipping and handling.
If you absolutely have to have the latest fun gadget than this would be an excellent purchase. However if on the other hand you want a small, fairly comfortable, easy to store and carry with you and inexpensive travel pillow then Amazon have a large selection starting at less than $10.
