I’ve been needing a new pillow for 2 and a half years now. I do have a pillow but it is a piece of crap. I used to have a super comfy pillow that I had for years and years all through my teenage years. Then when I got married i decided to throw out my super pillow. As 10 years of dribbling through the night had taken it’s toll on the super pillow. It had given it a nice rich brown tinge and a smell like when you lick you palm then sniff it straight away.

So I threw it out. But instead of buying a nice new pillow to replace it, Jenny and I bought a 2 pack of pillows for $10 or something. Anyway they are pretty much foam offcuts wrapped in material. It’s horrible, every night I think to myself, damn this flat piece of crap is uncomfortable!

Every now and then when jenny and I are in a department store I go and look at pillows, but the problem is no pillow feels nice inside a plastic bag. So i walk along the racks pushing my head into plastic covered pillows deciding that it’s all to hard and i just give up.

Ho do you tell if it’s a good pillow when you can’t test it. The super pillow was a feather pillow. But I don’t think i like feather pillows anymore. Not because I know the rest of thie chicken is being deep fried but when i stay places with feather pillows they just don’t feel comfy enough. Not like the super pillow. But do you get a firm or soft a high or low.

Yesterday I was in Kmart and I walked past the pillows and there was a sign that said 30% off pillows. This was a sign from above, it was time to get a new pillow. And now that i’ve married into the family that only buys things if there is a reduced sticker on it I coudn’t pass this opportunity to be the favorite inlaw.

There was a lot of people around so I was too self concious to push my head into the racks of pillows so instead i squeezed a few then paced up and down trying to decide which felt best, and I repeated this process many times.

In the end I grabbed one, a medium softness something or other. this is it, this could be the beginning on super pillow number 2. Or it could be another piece of crap that I complain about for the next 2 and a half years.

I brought it home and put my stinky old bob the builder pillow case on it and tested it on the bed.

How was it?

I have no idea I slept on my stomach with the pillow beside my head.
