(see the history in my previous post, the russians.....)
so, i'm sure someone out there is asking.... how was it? what was a $200 pillow like to sleep on? wow... how well rested you must be.
have you ever played with memory foam? if you get the chance, touch one when you're out shopping and run across it. seriously - press on it. it's a bizarre feeling of pressure and give. i don't know how to explain it. you lay your head down, and it goes from firm to sinking in.
or maybe a better way to explain it is when you roll over, it's sort of like smacking your head into wet cement and sinking in. repeatedly.
and maybe that's just me. or maybe it's because i'm a light sleeper at the best of times. or because i'm restless. or it may just be this brand, because i didn't mind the last one i tried, and i'm pretty sure it was memory foam too.
a little research reveals there are 3 grades of memory foam - the 3rd grade being the densest. i talked to someone that described grade 3 as turning and hitting a brick wall whilst sleeping. i'm pretty sure i can say this was a grade 3 pillow.
how restless? let's say you may just have met the only guy who is capable of stealing the sheets. not the blankets - i let the better half steal those. but in the morning, i have almost all of that flat sheet, and pretty a minimum of the blankets. figure that one out.
but i kept waking up when i rolled over because of the resistance. it would sort of startle me awake a little. but don't get me wrong... if you sleep in mostly one position, or sleep deeply, this is a comfortable pillow. it's just not for me i guess. and i gave it 4 nights, some of which i was extremely exhausted, and... continued to fight the pillow. not to mention this morning i had a massive headache.
think that's ok, in the end... as it sort of frightened my wallet. so..... on to round 3.

Good god - that sounds awful. At least you're spared a bill for $200, albeit it comes at the cost of a decent sleep.
That kinda sucks all around...
