June 2026 Ultimate Coffee Date Pillow Talk
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…
I’ve always thought there should be people who are “pillow concierges”. I mean how many pillows have I bought only to have to return them or give them away. I’ve always thought there has to be someone who is an expert and finding the right pillow, Well, guess what? There is!
When we were in Japan, I was more excited than I expected about the appointment I had with a “master pillow expert”. I had seen some videos about how people loved the process and their pillows so, of course, I had to try it for myself.
It was a very detailed process including measuring my head and neck and the position of my spine. I felt a little bit like Goldilocks or the princess and the pea. In a good way! I had to make decisions about the type of stuffing I liked and the firmness of the pillow. Side sleeper or back sleeper? I’m a side sleeper always.
My pillow was made to order right in front of me with me testing out each step as we went along. My pillow expert spoke very little English but we were able to communicate just fine. “Pillow talk” literally. So what was the verdict? It’s been about a month of my new customized pillow and I love it! My neck and back feel so supported. I realized how different my whole body position is as I’ve had to switch out my body pillow that I used for years. My sleep scores are corroborating this. Thanks to my husband for organizing this for me! It was a treat.
So, if we were having coffee, I would ask you…Do you have trouble finding must the right pillow? Side sleeper or back sleeper? Would you do a custom pillow sesh?
What and fun and useful appointment with the pillow expert, and how thoughtful for your husband to think of booking it for you! It’s great that your sleep scores agree that the pillow is helping you sleep better. To answer your question, I like very thin pillows and often find thick dense ones at hotels and my neck complains the next day. I’m thinking of brining my own on our next road trip – I wonder how many days until I’d forget and leave it in the hotel room.
