My roommate asked me, “how’d you sleep man?” My response, “better. Actually, much better.” What was different? It’s all thanks to a wonderful new pillow I’ve been ‘resting my troubles’ on called the One Hundred Year Pillow. I discovered the miracle pillow when shopping at Central Plaza Rama Two, the large mall near my city. I read about it and the interesting, age old science behind the pillow, and had to have it.
When living in another country, far from the comforts of home and nowhere near my good ol’ tempurpedic mattress, it is very important to take advantage of comforts where I find them. And until now, the comforts provided by my cheap, Big C Supermarket pillow and floor mattress are just that, cheap. Well, I decided to spend the money to improve my bedroom comforts and it was so worth it! We spend about 1/3 of every day in bed, so we ought to be happy when we’re there!
The pillow is not filled with cotton but “buckwheat hulls” or “soba gara” which has been scientifically shown to be better for neck support. These husks allow air flow to pass much more smoothly through the pillow and between it and your body, so that the pillow stays a comfortable temperature and does not develop “hot spots” like my old pillow used to. The Japanese are credited with the discovery of these materials being a great sleep aide. The pillow has been sleep tested in the Orient for hundreds of years.
The company’s motto is: Cool head, warm feet, deep sleep. The pillow has given me just that: a much deeper sleep, letting me wake up more refreshed every morning! I recommend this pillow to anyone living abroad and, for that matter, living at home. Since it’s designed to last for many, many years (ok, not 100 years, but at least 10 years) I will be taking this pillow back to the states when I return!
