In a previous post, I talked about looking for a new pillow since my old pillow had gotten very gross and very flat.  I was looking to start new, clean and fluffy.

At first I went with a pillow that was a synthetic fill but supposed to be “like down”.  I figured what the heck  After all down pillows are kind of expensive.  What I found was that the “like down” pillow was just as expensive as the down pillow.  What I also found out is that it really wasn’t as comfortable as real down due to the CPAP machine I need to attach myself to every night.

So, I went back to the store and bought myself I real down pillow.

Eureka!  The pillow was comfortable, flexible and helped me get a great night’s sleep. Lesson learned. Never accept a poor substitute. Go for the real thing. Even if it’s a little (or a lot) more expensive than the cheap imitation.

It’s kinda like ice cream.  Nothing really tastes quite so good as a bowl of Hagen Dazs or Ben and Jerry’s. So it is with pillows. Who knew?
