PILLOWS are something that some people take for granted. For others, having a comfy cushion to rest one's head on is an integral part of getting some solid slumber.
The search for the right one could be an adventure in itself and finally finding one that suits your needs will indeed make for many memories of blissful escapades in dreamland.
"No one realises how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow," the novelist Lin Yutang once wrote.
The new Joey Pillow aims to be that familiar item which gives users peace of mind whenever they lay down to rest.
From the same maker of the Joey Mattress, the Malaysian company touts its latest product as the ultimate one-size-fits-all pillow, designed to support all sleeping positions.
RESTFUL SLUMBER
When I first got the pillow to try, I noticed that it was soft and supple.
Measuring 42cm by 62cm, the surface features a tall end at a height of 12cm and a short 10cm-high end to add to its versatility.
I preferred the higher end since I like to sleep on my side and I felt that my neck, shoulders and head were well-supported.
The comfortable feel resulted in sound sleep at night and I woke up feeling fresh and rejuvenated.
Its cover is made of mainly polyester and its core consists of all-natural Malaysian latex, harvested locally.
With a ventilated construction, courtesy of holes in the core material that facilitate air flow, the pillow felt relatively cool whenever my head was resting on it.
Being a latex product, the pillow was also quiet without any squeaking or rustling whenever I changed position or moved my head.
Aside from that, it's hypoallergenic and antimicrobial to ensure that even the most sensitive people can use the pillow without any allergies flaring up.
It's said to be designed with the right density to keep the neck and spine aligned, which can help to keep airways clear and in turn, reduce snoring and nose noises.
I noticed that the Joey Pillow also stayed in shape after use — another benefit of the latex construction.
This type of pillow is known to last for a long time as opposed to regular ones that are recommended to be changed after about two years of use.
It's also easy to maintain by spot-cleaning, using a slightly damp cleaning cloth and then air-drying it naturally.
After a few weeks of use, my wife and I are pretty much in love with these pillows and will recommend them to others.
WORRY-FREE EXPERIENCE
Getting good sleep is part of a healthy lifestyle, especially since we spend about one third of our lives in bed.
It's also understandable that everyone has their own preferences, so it's great that the Joey Pillow comes with a 99-night, risk-free trial. Anyone can enjoy these pillows and those who don't find it to their liking will be able to return them.
The company assures that all returned Joey Pillows will be donated to its charity partners and not resold.
Wholly designed and manufactured in Malaysia, the pillow retails at RM185. They are available for purchase online with free delivery nationwide. Depending on your location, it'll take around one to 10 working days to arrive.
All Joey Pillows also come with a two-year limited warranty to ensure a worry-free experience.
A statement from the makers explains that the company spent more than 18 months researching the Malaysian market and found that the 10cm and 12cm curves were suitable for just about everyone.
That, coupled with the fact that the Joey Pillow will contour depending on your unique neck and shoulder build, equals the perfect pillow for you.
