The Struggle is Real for the Snuggle-Pedic in Our Bedroom

Pillow Tug O War

Have you ever found the perfect pillow? I mean, THE pillow that you would never ever even think of sleeping without? Growing up, my mom had this amazing foam pillow. It was the perfect thickness and was always cool. I like the cool side of the pillow. This was the perfect pillow. Obviously that pillow has been lost to the annals of time. Well, I’ve searched for a pillow like that ever since. I think that I may have found it with the Snuggle-Pedic from Relief-Mart, Inc. I received a free pillow a few weeks ago. Opinions are my own.

The day I got it was right before my company picnic. Each year when the company picnic arrives I end up sleeping in the office before and after the picnic. I used the Snuggle-Pedic while I stretched between two chairs in a break room. While the chairs weren’t comfortable, at least my head was on the Snuggle-Pedic.

Despite the overall comfort of the Snuggle-Pedic I felt that I needed more firmness to the pillow. The great thing about this pillow is that it is customization to my own specifications for firmness. I contacted the folks who gave me the pillow and told them that I liked it but wish that it could be firmer. They told me:

Thank you for contacting me and I apologize for the inconvenience, but we definitely have a great solution! While we choose the amount of fill, as well as the firmness, weight and support for the Snuggle-Pedic based on what has worked well for the majority of customers, we realize that not any one single pillow can work for everyone, so we developed a customizable in-home fix. We recently added a zipper for easy access to add more shredded foam fill, which will allow you to change the thickness and firmness of the pillow. We will be happy to send you more of our premium proprietary shredded foam fill, which will increase the firmness of the pillow and we will do so at no cost whatsoever! For us to do so, we just need to get an idea of how much more you will need and whether you will need a firmer blend. One quick way to tell how much of a change you need, is to move the foam over to one side of the pillow to create a thicker section on your pillow and lay your head down to test different thickness until you find one that is comfortable for you. Then, let us know a percentage of foam to send to you. An example would be that you feel you need 25% more fill (the average range is usually between 20% and 33%).

Even with adding the easy access zipper to allow each customer to alter the level of fill, we still realize that there is not one pillow that can meet the needs of every customer and since we manufacture every pillow right here in our Southern California facility, we still are the only company to offer our customers free customized foam blends that enable us to further change the level of firmness, weight, and buoyancy/springiness. If adding more foam fill does not give you the firmness/support you need, then we will be happy to customize a more firm/supportive blend for you.

Snuggle-Pedic Bamboo Pillow

The Snuggle-Pedic uses bamboo shredded memory foam pillow. It is made from 100% U.S.A. materials and they are manufactured in a Southern California facility. I requested 40% more foam. Yeah, I wanted that pillow to be really, really firm. The additional shredded foam arrived quickly and I easily unzipped the pillow and filled. My wife, Allison watched as I did this. I thought it was mere curiosity at her husband reviewing yet another product. But what she was actually doing was plotting to take the pillow for her own. While she seemingly asked innocent questions she was coveting my new pillow. Soon she go her chance to take it. I work weekend nights and the very first Friday I was off to work she took my pillow to sleep on for the night. I got home on Saturday morning and she told me that she had used my new pillow. She insisted that we needed to get another one of these because she had not had a better night’s sleep in a very long time. She had fallen in love with my new pillow.

The real struggle will happen on Monday night when I am home and she has used my pillow for 3 nights. I think we’re gonna need a second Snuggle-Pedic. I had better not let the kids get their hands, or heads on it or else I’m going to end up needing three more!

Eva’s Culinary Experiments

Photo-A-Day #4512

After dinner tonight Eva shared with us her latest culinary creation. She was inspired by Rosanna Pansino of Nerdy Nummies. While she may have followed a recipe from the Nerdy Nummies Cookbook she added her own flair to it. Eva made little mini tarts that had either sliced strawberries or sliced peaches or both. On top she added chocolate from a Hershey’s bar and also almond slices. But to the actual graham cracker crust she added peanut butter. These were some really delicious treats.
