Solving sleep issues

I've been a very light sleeper since my RNY. Even though I still take script sleep meds, I've also tried melatonin or tryptophan at the same time with mixed results. Works ok sometimes and almost no effect at others.  One item I tried about 3 weeks ago seems to work very well. I went to a home show in Riverside, CA. to see a booth of My Pillow.  This pillow company has had ads on TV and looked interesting.  I bought 4 of them for our home.  Everyone loves them.  But the best part is that my wife and I both sleep much better, and we're both RNY patients with sleep issues. These pillows hold their shape, are easily fluffed up, have a money back guarantee for 60 days, and are guaranteed to hold up for 10 years.  Although not cheap--I paid $220 for 4 of them--they are a worth-while investment, especially if you have trouble sleeping.  They are very comfortable, come in 3 firmness levels, and either standard or king sized.  Best price is found at booths at home shows, although you still get a discount online.  Their web site list where they will have pillows available for sale. Not sold in stores.  Although I sleep on a king sized bed, the standard sized pillows seemed to fit OK. King sized are $10 more  per pillow. DAVE

They sound nice but I am in no position to spend that much on a pillow :(  I have been having neck and head pain for a while and I found a buckwheat pillow at Goodwill for about $8 and I notice I have less pain in the morning with it.

I was watching the infomercial @ 1am the other night when I was staying in a hotel. I have had sleep issues my whole adult life and no amount of medication has helped. I was very interested in this pillow! Thanks Dave for the review. I am seriously thinking of getting myself a few.

I just woke up from 7 hours of rest. I used to usually only get about 5 hours or a little less sleep most night. So they are definitely worth the money.  Funny thing is, wife just bought new pillows about 7-10 days prior to getting these.  We put these now "new, old pillows" in the motorhome and use the My Pillow nightly.  Normal price on the standard My Pillow is $65 each for standard size, and king size is $75.  DAVE
