{Review} A Sweet Night of Slumber with the Most Comfortable Hypoallergenic Pillow




 



How many of us have trouble sleeping?  How many also suffer from neck or back pain that interrupt a good night sleep?  Well, if you are anything like me, it is both.



Finding a pillow that supports my head and neck, yet also comforms to the shape of my neck so as to be comfortable rather than hard has been quite a challenge.  The pillows I usually use, tend to flatten and get misshaped within a couple of months of use.  They start out being too big and bulky, then quickly lose their

firmness and finally are too flat and uncomfortable to help me with a restful night sleep.



I have been using the Sweet Slumber Pillow from Reverie for 3 weeks now and I love it.  With my husband's allergies I cannot sleep on down pillows, which have been recommended in the past - so finding that Reverie has hypoallergenic pillows made from shredded latex/rubber made it a good choice for me to try out for this review.  Thankfully, I am not allergic to latex!  So, if you are allergic to latex this pillow is not for you, but definitely check out the other great products by Reverie!







The pillow came enclosed in a zippered plastic bag - inside a box, to keep it clean.  My first night using it, I noticed a faint smell similar to balloons - lol, not surprising considering the rubber interior!  It was not unpleasant and by the second night, I could no longer smell anything.



The pillow was easy to conform to my neck while providing support without being too hard/firm.  I was able to rest comfortably each night with little to no neck pain the next morning.  This was amazing considering that I normally wake with a bit of pain each day, and usually am restless all night trying to get comfortable.



The Sweet Slumber Pillow from Reverie so far is the best pillow I have yet tried.  After 3 weeks of use, it is just like new the day it arrived!



I have since went to the Reverie.com website to look around at all the other products.  I would love to tryMattresses which sound like they would be perfect for my husband and myself - as well as the Easy-Pack Travel Neck Pillow!

the Customizable Dream Cell Sleep System

Check out the NEW Zeepo Strapless Sleep Mask Review & Giveaway on Mom Loves 2 Read

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.


Sleep masks are one of the best things you can use to help you sleep in almost any situation.  As a person who needs darkness to be comfortable enough to fall asleep, I personally have had trouble getting enough sleep when on trips unless I find a way to block out light from hotel windows and doors.



I have even hung bath towels, coats and even clothing from the sides of doors and used hair clips and shoes to try to block out light from hotel curtains.  Often that does not work and

I have trouble getting to sleep.



I found an opportunity to try out a Zeepo strapless sleep mask - here is some information that tells more about it from the Dream Essentials website:





The sleep mask that gently binds to your face with FDA-approved,
double-sided, adhesive strips which are medical grade hypo-allergenic
and latex free. Includes 2 sheets of disposable adhesive (36 strips)
enough for 18 nights of sleep.


  • Light-weight, ergonomic design

  • 100% light blocking for effective sleep and relaxation

  • Ultra comfortable using natural cotton for sensitive facial skin






Fabric

The interior and exterior of the mask are both made of 100% cotton lined with Tencel®, a soft, anti-bacterial fabric.



Mask Fastener

Mask secures to the face with revolutionary, hypoallergenic adhesive strips.



Care

Hand wash in cool water.

Lay flat to dry.



This mask also came with Dream Essence Sleep Serum-



It is simple and easy to use - just dab a small amount on your temples,
behind your ears and one spot on the back of your neck and let the
essential oils do their magic.  The aroma and your bodies absorption of
the essentials oil mix is designed to relax you and help you fall into a
deep sleep.  Well, in theory anyway - I personally did not find the Sleep Serum to help me - but I often have trouble getting to sleep no matter what I do, even when taking prescription sleep medication so don't take just my word for it.



I do like this sleep mask - although I do not need to use it for my nightly rest as my room is usually plenty dark - and one of the nights I wore it I woke to go to the bathroom, forgetting it was on and in my sleep addled state got slighlty concerned that I could not see - lol



I do think it will be greatly beneficial on our upcoming family trips.  I can't wait to use it in hotel rooms to help me get to sleep - even when the light around the doors and windows can not be blocked enough - this mask does block out all light!  And, the adhesive strips stick well, and I thankfully did not have any adverse reaction to the adhesive as I have to some bandage adhesives.



I personally cut the adhesive strips in half to make them last longer and had no problem with them being smaller - I was able to use 4 small half strips to keep the mask on my face - though the longer strips would be more secure for most people.



Although the mask only comes with 36 adhesive strips - more can be purchased on the website for a small cost - which I personally find to be pretty reasonable - as they are 50% off right now!

Immortal Sleep - not quite what I was hoping for - Review on Mom Loves 2 Read

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.



For this review I received a small Trial size package with 9 capsules inside, typically will last the average person 3-4 days.



About the Product:



Wake up refreshed and ready for the day! Be reminded of how great it
feels to get an uninterrupted good night’s sleep. For people who have: difficulty falling asleep, poor quality sleep, irritability, agitation, fatigue, and lack of focus. This safe and effective, non habit forming formula has no side effects and no next day drowsiness.



 If you have trouble with sleep and want to avoid the side effects of
other sleeping pills, taking Immortal Herbs’ specially developed herbal
sleep formulation will help you to regain

the balance needed to ensure a
deep peaceful slumber. Deep quality sleep is essential for your health
and well being and allows your body to restore and renew. This herbal
remedy is extremely safe and will allow deep relaxation and calm.







My Review:

I have trouble sleeping and occasionally have to use a prescription to aid in relaxing my mind so my body can get the rest it needs - I have tried several over the counter and herbal sleep aids with little to no success.  I thought when I agreed to review this product that it sounded better than many of the sleep aids I have previously tried and could not wait to see the results.  Unfortunately I did not like this product.



First, I have to take up to 3 large capsules for a single dose.  Even though I can usually swallow pills without a problem, I did not care for how many I had to try to get down for a restful night's sleep.



Second, after trying it for two nights and not noticing any difference I was quite frustrated.  My main problem is getting to sleep quickly - I can stay awake for hours even when exhausted due to my brain just not wanting to quit thinking!  Immortal Sleep did nothing to help my particular issue.



Third, whatever herbs are inside the capsules do not taste very good if not swallowed quickly with lots of water.  One got stuck in my mouth and the taste was not pleasant.



Immortal Sleep is not a product I personally found to work to help me sleep so I cannot honestly encourage others to try it.
