Xtreme Comfort Shredded Memory Foam Pillow Review


If you're anything like me, which I really hope you aren't you might suffer from severe headaches, and lot of sleep deprivation. My headaches cause me to lie awake at night in so much pain, that in the mornings, I get up feeling so much worse than when I went to lay down at night.

I was selected to review the standard sized Xtreme Comfort Shredded Memory Foam Pillow, and I couldn't have been more excited to do so. Upon arrival of my package, I noticed it came in a box that no other traditional pillow would come in. It was long, and short. I expected a large rectangular box. I opened it up and saw a tube of plastic with a rolled piece of fabric. I couldn't figure out how this could be a pillow. I opened it up in front of my husband, loosened the shrink-wrap-like plastic, and let the fabric roll out. I was so amazed, when I saw the pillow come to life before my eyes. My husband and I had a puzzled look, and both immediately tried to be the first to grab the pillow. He beat me, and put it behind his neck and gave me a "hmmm" kinda look. I don't think he expected to feel the comfort he did. I took it from him, gave it a few jabs, and a few squeezes, and fell in love instantly.




My standard sized pillow was built perfectly for me. My husband says his head is too big, so he'd prefer to try a larger sized pillow. But for me, I was in heaven. I tossed it on the couch to try it out, and just loved how it hugged the curves of my shoulders, tucked into my neck, and cradled my head. I laid there for 30-45 minutes, when I realized I needed to be up, to start on dinner. Let me tell you though, I did not want to get up. I was so comfortable.





So far, this pillow has been a such a great addition to my bed. I'm sleeping so much more comfortably, and I'm not tossing and turning all night. Even with headaches at night, this pillow helps me sleep for longer periods of time, without the need to get up and refluff, (is that a word?) or to adjust the pillow. 

The fabric on the outside has kool-flow technology which allows the pillow to keep cool while you sleep on it. It's hypo-allergenic, and doesn't attract dust mites, so this is perfect for those with allergies, or asthma. The standard sized pillow is great for children, teens or adults with small frames. It's so wonderfully comfortable. I definitely noticed a better nights sleep. 

Click the link below to purchase your own. The standard size is available on Amazon.com for $42.99. The Queen is $44.99 and the King is $49.99. Worth every penny. 


I received this product free, in exchange for an honest review.

Dream Essentials Sweet Sleep Sleeping Mask Review

I am a light sleeper. On top of being a light sleeper, I have a lot of trouble falling asleep at night. I can be awake for several hours at night, before the Sandman finally pays me a visit. When I was selected to review this product for free, in exchange for my honest review, I was quite excited. I go through sleeping masks like I go through water. I'm always buying your basic thin elastic strap masks, you find at the dollar stores, or at Wal-Mart, that tend to stretch over time, and lose their purpose.

My New BFF.

I had never tried a contoured mask before receiving this one. So naturally, I was looking forward to trying it out. I opened my package before I even got home. I sat in my truck to examine the contents of my package. One, contoured sleeping mask, one package of basic ear plugs, and one drawstring carry pouch. Sadly, the ear plugs stayed in the truck, which my husband decided to use at work, and the drawstring pouch is no where to be found. Either way, great items to have with a mask such as this one.

I was so tired before getting home, that when I finally arrived, I told my husband I was taking a nap. I still had about 3 hours before I had to cook dinner, so I had plenty of time to take a mini nap. That's when I tried my mask out for the first time. As soon as I put it on, all went dark. The tight fit of the thick elastic Velcro straps, which I tightened to fit around my head, provided a bit of pressure around my head alleviating a little headache I had. The mask sits flushed on my face comfortably, so it's the perfect size.

Thick elastic Velcro band.

 Dips in the eyes for a comfortable fit.

 Contoured nose area.

Padding above the eyelids.

I overslept. Hubby was kinda glad to see that I had taken a lengthy nap, because I get very little sleep at night. He asked me how long I took to fall asleep, because our neighbor decided to play his drums around the same time I went to lay down. Funny thing is, is that I NEVER heard my neighbor. I didn't even have the ear plugs on because they were in the truck. I fell asleep so quickly and so comfortably, that I slept through the drumming.

I've been using my mask for a few weeks now. I can honestly say that this is by far my favorite, and most comfortable mask that I've ever used. It is light weight, soft, and the contoured area around the eyes, make me sleep so comfortably. There's even extra padding around the eyebrow area that presses nicely above my eyelids, making me sleep so comfortably.

At times, I do notice that a tiny bit of light creeps in around the nose area, but with a few tugs, and adjustments of the mask, I can get the light blocked out. I also love that it stays in place throughout the night, and doesn't slip up from behind my head. It's so SO very comfortable. And I'm getting so much more sleep.

The mask is currently on sale on their website Dream Essentials for $9.95, and is available in red, royal blue, and black. It is also available on Amazon for the same low price, and ships free with Amazon Prime. I'm sure this very low price is only temporary, so grab yours now. Get a great nights sleep just like I am.
