REVIEW: Total Pillow and GIVEAWAY

UPDATE:  7/31/10  Mark and I made a further inspection and found that the pillow actually does have a hole at one of the seams.  So, that solves the "where the beads are coming from" mystery.
UPDATE: Per a more recent post, I have had a problem with the microbeads in my pillow leaking out of the pillow. I've contacted the company and will update as to whether this is an isolated incident. Stay tuned!


(Update: I just added a giveaway below...scroll down and then leave a comment to be entered).

Total Pillow is a doughnut/flower shaped all in one pillow. This pillow can be used to support back, neck and head. It can be used anywhere from the office to the car to the bed.

Mark has listened and searched for a perfect pillow for me. It seems that we are constantly on the lookout for a pillow that will keep my neck from hurting or aching. I've tried everything from the most expensive to the least. Nothing seems to fit quite right and I'm constantly having to adjust or purchase a new pillow.

When I got word that I would be reviewing the Total Pillow, I was pumped. The pillow arrived in the mail the day before my induction. Perfect! I was about to enter a great environment to test out this pillow. All the nurses asked me about it and were quite interested in it.

So, off to a great testing ground, with my labor bag and Total Pillow in hand, I went.

I was a bit skeptical because of it's size. It's a tad small. However, it can be adjusted to fit in different ways from bending it in half to twisting it up. Let me say, I was super thrilled to have this pillow throughout labor and post partum as well! As I labored, I sat up and rested on the back of the bed, the pillow was a great face support through contractions. It was a great pillow to rest on in between pushes. And it slept very well, when I slept, in the hospital. I do believe this will have to go on my labor essentials list!


I'm now using it at night for my main bedtime pillow and it's working pretty well. There are microbeads in the pillow which help it to stay firm and maintain the shape you put it in. It's super comfortable. I'm still working on getting it in just the right way...but so far it's not going flat and it holds the shape I put it in.


So, where can you get this super duper amazing pillow??? Total Pillow is sold here. And right now they have a buy one get one free deal. Plus, a few extras thrown in! The pillow (plus extras right now) are being sold for $19.99.
