mx elle is eepy: i was waking up every morning with a bunch of neck and shoulder pain, and i thought it was just stress, but then i replaced my pillows, and it turns out it was the old pillows 🙃

Related: what pillow is best for you depends on how you tend to sleep! If you're a side sleeper, you probably want a taller pillow than if you're a back sleeper (and vice versa).

yeah, but i was already on my hybrid nonsense, pillows just lose lift over time!

Oh yeah totally, I probably should have quote posted that instead of replying because it was meant more as a "yes and"! We have so many styles of pillow in this house that anyone who visits gets a full pillow menu, heh.

I am glad you got a simple improvement in Shit Hurting Less with a new pillow and I hope it stays hurting less!

the ones i settled on also will send you replacement fill??? which i didn’t know when i bought them, but is… great?!!?

Oh wow, that is awesome! Never seen a pillow company do that before, but what a great idea. I eventually settled on a buckwheat hull pillow (www.motherearthpillows.com/product/buck... if anyone's curious) because I like how you can adjust the shape, but it's too firm for a lot of folks.

What's the company that makes yours? I'll add them to my Pillow List for when I'm giving recommendations, heh

Is it noisy? We have a buckwheat hull meditation set and our tiny hunter thinks there’s something inside that she needs to kill if she steps on it. I… don’t think I want that near my head in the middle of the night.. lol.

my old approach was taking a foam pillow and folding it in half this was the first pillow to have the right amount of firmness for me

ps you recommended buckwheat pillows a while back and I don't think I properly thanked you so thanks!

You're a welcome! They aren't for everybody but the people they're for, they're REALLY for.

I was just surfing the internet, stopping at pillow ads muttering “you might fix me”

it has been three nights on the new pillows and i think i am cured

I am now realizing I don’t remember how long ago I bought my pillows and that’s probably a bad thing…

I hear that.

This might be me, what kind of pillow did you get??

i got one for side sleeping!

Yes! imagine what other low hanging fruit there could be ....

tbh it is probably just as much “i am not working right now, but also not freaked out about not working right now” so my ambient stress level is remarkably low, as it is the pillows. when the neck and shoulder pain started, my stress level was close to exceeding my capacity to manage it.

Yes and also feedback loops… Hey do you have a good mattress?

it’s actually pretty good, yeah. i’ll want to replace it in a couple years, but it’s still comfortable and supportive. :)

It's the simple things.
