The Reflex Pillow For the Perfect Night’s Sleep

‘To sleep, perchance to dream’

SEARCHING FOR THE PERFECT PILLOW

We all know the benefits of a good night’s sleep. Well, if you don’t, you can check out my previous post HERE.

I have a comfortable bed, but for years have been searching for a pillow that could complement it. I have spent quite a lot of money on this quest. When buying our new bed in Harvey Norman last year, we had our heads measured and bought pillows too, which I ditched within a week because it hurt my neck. You see, I have an old whiplash injury from nearly 30 years ago which gives me problems every now and again.

So you see, I buy and try and then discard. That has been the pattern for the past 10 years. And then I return to my old, old pillow which is probably about 15 years old, so hardly ideal!

I had heard about this new REFLEX pillow and I was delighted when I was sent one to try out.

BACKGROUND

The REFLEX pillow was designed by Irishman Noel O’Connor, a specialist in the treatment of neck and back pain. He believed that the problems associated with neck pain were exacerbated by poor pillow support, so he searched without success for an effective pillow on the market.

Noel then spent fifteen years conducting countless pressure sensitivity tests on feather, memory foam and polyester-stuffed pillows before creating the ‘magic’ formulated blend of materials for the optimal pillow which would come to be known as ‘Reflex Foam’.

This is no ordinary run-of-the-mill pillow.

It is a patented and certified medical device that is designed to naturally eliminate the key causes of sleep deprivation: neck & back pain, tossing and turning, insomnia, snoring, sleep apnea and teeth grinding.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

What makes the REFLEX pillow different is its unique design.

Yes, it is rectangular but that is where the similarity to many other pillows ends.

You can only sleep on one side of the pillow.

The front of the pillow has a shoulder slot and neck support, because your upper spine and neck area need even more support, as this where most soft tissue and muscle damage occurs.

There are 2 hollows with a ridge between them to prevent head roll while you sleep.

The design keeps the top part of your spine in perfect alignment and your head is very slightly tilted which helps with breathing.

FINDINGS

This REFLEX pillow is, in my opinion, a game changer or a sleep changer!

I was told it could take a few nights to get used to it. Not in my case…I slept better than I have for years from night one. I sleep on my left side, sometimes roll over to my right, but I find I move less and wake up on fewer occasions since I have had this pillow.

And what’s more, I woke feeling more refreshed than I have in years.

Another bonus was that I was using the pillow during our sweltering nights and I found it also kept me cool.

What I love is how the pillow hugs and supports your head.

I can’t comment on the snoring or sleep apnea, but I am buying a pillow for my husband, the wonderful Graham, who on occasion snores.

That’s how much I love the REFLEX pillow and HIM.

So. at the risk of sounding like I have shares in the company, I believe that this pillow is absolutely amazing. It certainly suits me.  Have a look at their website HERE. The pillow retails at 79 euro.  Invest in your sleep, because it might just be the right pillow for you too.

    I think I need one of these as I often wake up with a stiff neck and shoulders, as I did today. I’ve also developed a numb patch on one shoulder and keep getting pins and needles down that arm, so I probably have a trapped nerve. I’m going to pop over to the website for a look. My husband frequently reminds me that I snore – unfortunately he’s a light sleeper!

      Emma you poor girl. That does sound like a trapped nerve. This pillow is supposed to help with snoring as it keeps the airwaves open. I can honestly say that it is a game changer for me…

    Hilda,

    I love a good nights sleep too and have been using memory foam pillows made in the states.
    If I sleep on my back I tend to snore so unladylike and my darling husband’a finger starts to poke me!

    Thank you, my friend, for always supporting my blog and my link ups!

    Hugs,
    Robin

Forgot to post this pic from a few months ago, tak Forgot to post this pic from a few months ago, taken when we could go further than 5k. Wearing all Zara except for old @carl_scarpa boots. How are you coping with the present lockdown? I am reading lots and watching telly and walking. I sympathise with those of you who are homeschooling and trying to work. Not easy. But we are nearly there. Stay strong.

New Year Resolutions are not for me. I just love New Year Resolutions are not for me.
 I just love the life I live. Of course I am worried about the Pandemic. Who isn't? 
But even though I cannot meet friends, eat out or do many of the 'normal' activities I used to do, I can still walk and enjoy the lovely place I live. Pop over to the blog to see my farewell to 2020.

 'Life is not measured by 
the number of breaths we take, but
the moments that take our breaths away.'

Happy New Year from Graham and me. A different New Happy New Year from Graham and me. A different New Year's Eve for certain. We are sitting at home watching the telly. But welcoming in 2021 with open arms and hoping that in a few months we can return to a more normal life. 

While 2020 was tough, it also made me appreciate (even more) the beautiful place where I live. 

2020 also had its highlights: our third grandson arrived a few weeks ago!

Stay positive my friends. Stay safe and
 thank you for your support.

It is the last 'Style Not Age' of the year and we It is the last 'Style Not Age' of the year and we are out and about. Warm outerwear has never been more important, as we meet up with friends for socially distanced coffee outdoors.

 The coat from @primark has kept me cosy during these difficult Covid times.  This pic was taken down a country lane a few weeks ago when I was visiting my parents.

And I have lived in these camo leggings from @fandfclothing for the past few months.  Walking boots and hat are old. Pop over to stories for more pics.

Writing about the importance of supplementing with Writing about the importance of supplementing with Vitamin C (particularly at the moment) on the blog. Liposomal Vitamin C is all the rage becuse it promises optimal absorption. It is all quite scientific. But what you need to know is that taking it will benefit your immune system, your energy and your skin. Did I mention this Somega is delicious? More on the blog.

This is one that got away. Kind of wish I had bought it now @lkbennettlondon 
I am not so good at online shopping. Bought runners online in the size I normally get in that brand and they had to go back. Anyone else with the same problem?

🪥 My new stylish electric toothbrush (gifted) h 🪥 My new stylish electric toothbrush (gifted) has Ionic Brushing Superpowers! 

🪥Sounds impressive? It is!

🪥But do not ask me to explain it.Check out @ion.sei for all the science stuff. And learn about the innovative technology used in this German manufactured and Japanese inspired toothbrush. 

🪥It has to do with a UV LED light, a titanium bar and negative ions. But it is rather complicated and I am not a science geek.

🪥What I know is that my teeth  and gums feel cleaner and are cleaner. Because it actually prevents plaque from forming.

🪥Easy to use (there are 3 brushing modes) and gentle on gums, it turns off after 2 minutes. And delivers minimum 36,000 strokes in that time!!
