In reply to Leila. Thanks Leila. It's true though, your relationship with your pillow will never be the same again. :)

In reply to Debra Oakland. It's a great story, isn't it, Debra? I sleep with 2 pillows too to elevate my head but luckily don't drop any while sleeping although the top one does seem to shift a bit during the night. Must be when I turn in my sleep.

Love this article about pillows and your story Vatsala. We elevate our bed for proper lymph movement – a great deal of research has been done about this. I start out with 2 pillows each night for years. One if fluffy and lays over my foam curved pillow. Halfway thru the night the fluffy pillow hits the floor and I sleep on the foam curved one to support my neck…best of both words! 🙂

In reply to Andrea. Our pillows provide us with more support than we can imagine, Andrea. I've suffered from slipped disc twice in my life and the pillow under my knee was the only way I could get any comfort or sleep. The second time it happened, my furry friend Miss Coco was a puppy and she was intrigued by the second pillow and decided to hijack it. :) So I slept with a puppy next to my knees!

I had neck surgery earlier this year and, if it were not for some creative pillow placement, sleep would have been almost impossible. I’ve got a special dogbone-shaped one that is my “go to,” but I still rely on under the knees to get comfy.

Also, as my husband heads off to his annual meditation retreat, my thoughts often turn to space clearing and other ways to make our home work better. The pillows will definitely get some extra love. Thanks.
