Here’s something you may not know about me – I love to sleep, and I’m a great sleeper. It’s one of my finest talents. I look forward to hitting the hay at night, and my new pillow makes my favorite time of day even better.

Recently, Jenny and I had the opportunity to create our own perfect pillows, thanks to Select Comfort!

The process of creating a pillow is fun – we got to speak with a Select Comfort sleep specialist, and we answered questions about our sleeping habits (whether or not we sleep on our stomachs, if we tend to get hot at night, all kinds of things!) and she recommended a pillow combination for each of us. The Select Comfort website allows you to do this as well, and lets you choose your Outer Comfort Shell, your Inner Support Core, and your Pillow Protector. The result? A customized, made-to-order perfect pillow!

I chose the Down Alternative for my outer shell, the Memory Foam for my inner core, and a protector made out of real silver that helps my pillow stay cool all night. Let me tell you, I LOVE this pillow. It is so wonderful… it weighs about 30 pounds (that is an exaggeration!) and it has just the right level of firmness. My husband is jealous and wants a pillow as awesome as mine!

At first I was a little skeptical about the price tag – the pillow I created would cost around $90. However, when I think back on all the money I’ve spent on $10 pillows that last about three months, I can see that the investment is really worth it over time. And did I mention that the pillow is fantastic? Because it is.

Here’s a word from Jenny on her experience:

Unlike Emily I am NOT a good sleeper, and I am very picky about pillows. I like a pillow that is not too fluffy, not too soft, kind of flat, yet supportive and not hard as a rock either! I thought it would be a challenge to create the “Perfect Pillow” for me, but the pillow expert from Select Comfort really took my, um, particularness and turned it into a great pillow! I chose Memory Foam for my outer layer, down alternative for my inner layer so it wouldn’t be TOO fluffy, and like Emily, the silver protective lining. The result? This pillow really is PERFECT for me! I love it, and my perfect pillow and a little Ambien have me sleeping better than I ever have these days! If you have any sleeping troubles or just want to treat yourself, your neck, your head, and your shoulders to all-night comfort, I’d really suggest looking into going through the Perfect Pillow process!
