The Perfect Pillow

The Goldilocks Pillow, not too big, not too small – The Perfect Pillow to fit you!

The theory of the Goldilocks Pillow follows what I tell my patients on a day to day basis. Your pillow needs the fill the gap between your ear and your shoulder so that you neck remains in it’s neutral position when you lie on your side. This prevents the neck from “kinking” upwards or downwards if your pillow is too big or too small respectively.

We all have different clothes sizes and shoe sizes because we are all built differently. Your pillow should be treated the same way.

The Goldilocks Pillow system allows me to measure my patients and allocate them a pillow size between 1 and 5.

I’m confident this will help my neck and shoulder pain patients to stay pain free once we’ve helped them in the clinic.

However, I do like to try my products out first, to make sure they are right for our patients!

My pillow, size 2 (out of 5), arrived yesterday, so I’m giving it a go tonight.

So here goes, I’m swapping my double layered duck down pillows for this Goldilocks size 2!

Watch this space!

Night 1 – felt odd as I first got into bed – not as high or “sqidgey” as my double layered duck down pillows.
As I drifted off I felt much more supported as the pillow tucked right into the space between my neck and shoulder.
I did sleep better as I have been waking quite a lot. When I did wake it was easier to drift off again.
I can’t say I love it yet but its definitely more supportive than the duck down and it’s still early days….

Night 2 – so tired I fell straight to sleep! Didn’t miss the duck down this time as didn’t stay up reading. Only woke once, briefly. Neck wasn’t sore in the morning. So far things are looking good…. 2 more nights! Let’s hope I sleep all the way through tonight!

Night 3 – only woke once again (dog barking!!). Absolutely no pain in neck looking over my shoulder in the morning.
Very happy.

Night 4 – I slept like a log last night, didn’t wake once.
Loving this pillow! I think they finally have the “Tilly seal of approval” !!
