memory foam pillow
I have not yet tried this latest trend in bedding accessories but I confess that I had been dreaming of doing just that this last few months. If the memory foam pillow were not that expensive, I probably would have a few already waiting for me at night. From what I gather, it is made of material that responds to changes in temperature. As the foam comes in contact with an increase in temperature, the foam realigns to provide a cushion, by softening at the points where the body increases the temperature of the foam. A memory pillow will mold itself to the contours of the head and neck providing support where it is needed.
Where before these pillows were only available through specialty stores and TV shopping sites, now they are obtainable from stores that sell mattresses and even from bedding sections of department stores. Those who have reviewed the product compliment their extremely supportive qualities which make them a better option for people with back or neck problems. It is also believed that they are more resistant to dust mites than regular foam. They are claimed to be hypoallergenic and anti-microbial as well. However, they tend to retain body heat and could be warmer to the body than natural cotton or down pillows.
