How many times have you been mad at your pillow?  Normally, it seems that since most people have used a pillow their entire lives, they should be able to find a pillow that is comfortable, cool, and collected.  Instead, most of us are always trying to find the cool side of the pillow during the night.  Or we rearrange and move the pillow at different angles and positions so it can be the same height as our head while it also supports our neck.  Or sometimes we spend the first moments in bed trying to make the pillow comfortable by moving the feathers or foam bits around inside the pillow, often punching down the pillow lumps, and then in disgust and weariness, sit up and fling the pillow across the room...only to get up and out of bed to retrieve the pillow so we can start the whole pillow-dance again.

Now you can rest easy because Rehabmart might have just what you and your head are looking for.  The following are three different types of pillows that might meet your unique requirements.  The first example is the Cool Mesh Pillow.  This pillow is not only very comfortable with a plush memory foam core, but it also features a cooling 3-D mesh technology cover.   This pillow is designed to provide an incredibly comfortable sleeping surface for your head, neck, and shoulder area (or as I like to call it, The Headquarters) while helping you keep a cool head from sleeping on a virtual layer of air. 

The Cool Mesh Pillow has that unique combination that will fit the shape of your neck and head, ensuring proper sleeping posture throughout the night leading to no more time wasted punching your pillow into submission so it will fit your head, all the while  keeping your head cool and dry, eliminating the night-long pillow flip-flops.  The 3-D mesh is 99% air, providing a night of comfort and relief from perspiration, and unparalleled comfort for allergy sufferers.

Another type of pillow, or support, is the Massaging Back Wedge, providing a way to sit up and relax while getting a massage.  Warning: Using this massaging support wedge could cause a person to not want to leave their bed.

Sit up in bed to watch television, read a book, or just contemplate the meaning of life, all the while melting away back tension and fatigue with a soothing massage.  According to medical experts, people who suffer from acid reflux, indigestion, or a hiatal hernia are experiencing conditions that become worse while lying flat.  A comfortable messaging wedge which matches the natural curve of your spine, offering you a great fit and superb support while elevating your head is a recommended way to relieve the discomfort and pain of the aforementioned medical conditions.  Additionally, clinical studies have also shown that elevating your head at night is good for those with congestive heart failure and other health issues such as allergies, sinus and nasal congestion.  And did I mention that this wedge comes with a massage unit built inside of it?

In our last example, we have the answer to many of the wishes and prayers of loved ones, an Anti-Snore Pillow.  Comfortably positioning your head and neck with its curved anatomical shape that ensures a proper support during the night, it will position your head and neck for an improved airway alignment to reduce the most common causes of snoring; for example, sleeping on your back.

Besides using natural latex foam flocks that help regulate warmth and moisture to ensure a soft, supportive sleeping surface, the Anti-Snore Pillow also has a built-in air chamber located in the center of the pillow which allows an adjustable support, helping you to stay off your back during the night.  For extra comfort, simply inflate the air bubble to the desired height, allowing you, and your loved ones around the house, to sleep.

From keeping your head cool and comfortable, or massaging you while in a comfortable sitting position, to reducing snoring and the grumbling of your family, these pillows are just what you have been waiting for.  These pillows may not be the best weapon to use in a pillow fight, but now you don't have to fight your pillow at night just so you can get a good night's sleep.
