Pillows

[mamadeb]

For the last couple of, well, years, we have slept on pillows that pretty much resemble pancakes. In fact, we stuffed two of them into each pillowcase (so sleeping on *four* pancakes pillows, and, in my case, turned them on their sides. I sleep on my side plus I have to have my head somewhat elevated or I can't breathe. I have seriously thought about getting a wedge to sleep on. Any of you do that?

I know pillows have a short lifespan. jonbaker even asked a hotel chambermaid once how the hotels keep their pillows so firm and comfortable. She told him they replace them every few months.

So, as a welcome home present to my husband, I bought new pillows today. Four of them. One pair with down for him and one pair with polyester for me. Nice, firm, thick pillows that means we'll be comfortable for a change.
