Price Points: Anti-frizz microfibre towels

Anti-frizz microfibre towels | H is for Home

I’m planning on getting myself a microfibre towel, as it will fit into my carry-on flight bag. The other reason I want to buy one is that they apparently do wonders for curly hair.

I’ve been learning all about the ‘plop’ method for drying hair that helps to keep curls defined. Apparently, using a regular terrycloth towel to dry curly hair is a bad idea, as it does too rough a job. Using an old cotton t-shirt is better however, one of these anti-frizz microfibre towels is best.

Do I go for a large sized one of the cheap & cheerful version that I can also use as a bath towel? Or do I invest in a one specifically designed for the coiffure job? Is there much of a difference? I think a bit more research is required!

Gimme Five! Pillows

"Gimme Five!" blog post banner

selection of 5 pillows

I feel like I’ve become a bit of a sleep wellness expert in the last couple of weeks – yes, there is such a thing! What with the post on duvet covers and all the research I’ve done on mattresses. It was this fact-finding mission that led me to realise how important pillows are to a full and restful night’s sleep.

We’ve been putting up with some rather ropey specimens for far too long. They’re lumpy (thanks to a few rounds  in the washing machine), they’ve lost all their bounce and are way past their expiration date. According to The Sleep Council, pillows should be changed every 2-3 years.

A couple of years ago, on a day trip to Huddersfield, we bought six feather pillows cheap from a shop that was having a closing down sale. BIG MISTAKE! The pillows were way too soft – even stacked three high your head just sank. And the non-stop jabs in the face and shoulders by the sharp end of feathers poking through made a bad situation worse. What a false economy – and that shop that was closing down? It’s still open!

Pillows, like a mattress, are worth investing in – and, something which I can personally attest to, you get what you pay for. We’re both side-sleepers who prefer firm, synthetic-filled pillows; so I’ve short-listed suitable examples fitting these criteria  – a selection of the best and highest rated by people that have bought, tried & tested.

  1. Sealy ‘Posturepedic’ cooltech gel pillow: £59.50, Debenhams
  2. Memory microfibre pillows: from £25.60, The White Company
  3. Dorma Tencel blend memory foam traditional pillow: £29.99, Dunelm
  4. Tempur Cloud pillow: £85, John Lewis
  5. The Fine Bedding Company dual support pillow: £36.50, Linen House
