Good morning WV! My mother in law has a My Pillow, she loves it. 2 people I clean for have them, they don't love them. I bought The Perfect Pillow on Black Friday from Herbergers, I love it. My friend bought one for her husband and he loves it. It's more like a memory foam but not as heavy. I hope they go on sale again as I'd like a backup. No warm up for us. The highest I see is 24 a week from tomorrow. Friday they are showing a -7 for the high

It is amazing what a couple hundred miles can make. We have a high of 25 forecast on Tuesday and 28 a week from Tuesday.

This morning when you had -4 I had -15, now I am in a warming streak, amazingly fast streak! It is at 0 now! Friday my high is to be -2 \..

These next couple days of warm temps are going to be so nice, I can get some stuff done outside.
 
I have been looking at those My Pillows for sometime. I have tried every pillow out there (I even tried making my own) since my botched neck fusion surgery in 2006 and am getting more than a little tired of waking up with these headaches. I have foam, down, imitation down, water pillows, memory foam, "natural green" (whatever the heck that is supposed to be) even buckwheat and those little bead thingies. I have this giant triangle shaped thing that was recommended by my physical therapist. After a nerve conduction study, MRI, and other tests by the neurologist I went to for help after the surgery, he did cycles of botox injections in my head, neck and upper shoulders for 2 years, and prescribed muscle relaxers. That helped a little. He was so mad at the guy who butchered my fusion he would just stand there and shake his head when he was working on me, mumbling something like, "He should be living like this, not you." The surgeon who did my neck surgery, Dr. John Schneider, ended up being sued a few years later by a ton of people for the same issues after one of his patient's died and then after he pulled some legal shenanigans to defraud the bankruptcy courts he lost his license to practice. He also ran a campaign through the mail to totally discredit a fellow orthopedic surgeon. Nice guy. I can sure pick 'em.

It's not an exaggeration to say that the headaches are my companions every single morning - except when we have events and stay at the Holiday Inn. There I grab the "soft" pillow and sleep well all night long. Ken was going to see if he could find them online but it's something we keep forgetting to do. I did look for them briefly one morning when the headache got me up at 4:30 am again, but most of the things I found said, "LIKE the Holiday Inn pillow." Um, no. I may have to rip one off next weekend in Riverton and pay the fine!

I hesitated on the My Pillow because of all the mixed reviews. People either love them or hate them and there's no middle ground. I heard all the hype about the owner being the founder of the National Sleep Foundation, but it was in existence long before this pillow was developed and was started by a professor, so that's garbage. Recently My Pillow went from an A+ Better Business Bureau score to an F in Minnesota because of his "by one get one free" offer, but that had nothing to do with the pillow itself. So I don't know what to think. I hate to waste money on another pillow, but I also hate the idea that there might be a good night's sleep out there and pass it up, too.

Hey, it counts, you get that warm feeling all the way down your leg, and both legs if you do it right...


I don't have a "my Pillow" I being older than dirt have a hard time sleeping too, BUT I refuse to buy a pillow from that guy, I hate his commercials.

I heard the State (mn) was taking him to court for something. I hope he is charged with aggravated Hubris and excessive narcissism...

Nope, nothing that dramatic. His Better Business Bureau score went from an A+ to an F because of his "buy one get one free ads"....turns out you were still paying what you'd have paid for 2. But it still doesn't solve my dilemma.....to buy from a guy who's ripping folks off or to rip off the Holiday Inn.

I know which option I'd go for! Personally I prefer natural down feather ones

I would prefer to use my dog as a pillow, but the WWD has a firm rule about no dogs on the bed.....And she has always blamed me and not the dog when she has found them there.... She blames me for everything no matter how innocent I am!
