We overnighted at Justin’s sister’s this week as he had a dentist appointment back in Yorkshire. Sleeping in a strange bed can make for a terrible night’s sleep, but that wasn’t the case. And it was all thanks to a V-shaped pillow.
When we’ve stayed-over previously, I’ve used the V-shaped pillow only to sit up in bed to read or work on the laptop. On this occasion, it was laziness and tiredness that led to this sleep revelation. I couldn’t be bothered to reach over and swap the V-shaped one for the regular, rectangular one. I reclined and realised how comfortable it was for sleeping. I’m a side-sleeper and like a very firm, supportive pillow. My arms, neck and head just fitted around it perfectly.
Since returning home, I’ve been scouring the internet looking for V-shaped pillows. All three that I’ve featured have had excellent reviews. The Fogarty example even had a write-up in the Sun newspaper last year, it’s considered that good.
I like the idea of the grey terry fabric of the M&S one; but as I’ll be using it to sleep every night, I’d want to put it in a pillowcase. The texture added to the awkward shape would make putting on and taking off a pillowcase a bit of a workout!
