My new pillow!
Here’s the info from the web-site, my verbose opinion to follow.
Features
This Echelon Classic Firm Latex Pillow is made of comfy talalay latex with a stretch velour cover, making these pillows perfect for side or back sleepers
Sleepy’s exclusive Echelon® Classic Firm pillow is made with Talalay latex, a naturally derived material with unique attributes. It provides superior pressure relief and is naturally breathable, dust mite resistant, and antimicrobial.
All Echelon pillows improve overall comfort and enhance the retroactive powers of sleep by helping to keep your entire spine in a naturally relaxed position. The Classic Firm Echelon pillow is specifically designed for side and back sleepers and those who prefer a firmer feel. The pillow features a soft, washable zip-off velour cover and a liner to protect the Talalay latex.
Sleepy’s loved working with me so much that they asked me back! They asked me to review a pillow and gave me 4 choices:
1.Memory foam 2 pack- jumbo size (which is between standard and queen) looks like the name brand version, feels even better- made of memory foam- great for back or side sleepers
2.Gel pillow- queen size, 2 pack of gel infusion poly fill with quilted cotton cover, 4” gussets and light blue satin piping. – perfect for all positions.
3. Love my pillow – Standard size memory foam with ultra soft terry like cover. Perfect for back sleepers.
4. The above referenced Echelon pillow, my 1st choice.
I have lower back problems and am always looking for anything that might help. I am also someone who buys the pillows for the house at Target when they are on sale for $5. This pillow costs a lot more than that, it is on the web-site for $79.99-$99.99. Which do you think would be more helpful for me?
Spending money on a pillow to help with sleep issues or back problems never occurred to me. I am glad that Sleepys gave me this opportunity, which only reinforced the old saying, you get what you pay for. Our “other” pillows end up getting quite flat and we just add another one on top. Yes, my spouse and I each have 3 pillows that we sleep on and none of them offer any amount of comfort.
I am a little embarrassed to say that I never realized I should change my pillow. Thank-you Sleepys for guiding me! Given the choice, I picked the Echelon because of the firmness option and the helpfulness for side sleepers. I honestly feel more comfortable with this pillow (there is also quite a luxury difference, no offense to that other store!) and no longer need a huge pile of pillows at night!
This is also a great gift option, as there are probably many people who don’t think to spend money on themselves for the luxury of a quality pillow.
In my house, we are blessed and have everything, therefore my spouse and I rarely exchange gifts. But, he is still sleeping on 3x$5 pillows. One of the above pillows would make a great gift for him for the holidays, something that he would never buy for himself, something that only makes sleep more comfortable. Now I just have to find his charge card to buy him this gift!
So here’s the challenge to you. You know I got a pillow and said it worked out well for me, I challenge you to go to your local Sleepys and test all these different types of pillows and see which one is the best for your needs. Have you ever thought to give yourself this luxury? Leave me a comment and tell me what you discovered, is it time for a change?
Disclosure: I received this pillow from Sleepys to sample and review. It is delicious! The above pictures are of the pillow I received, the professional shot is below. All opinions are always 100% honest and my own.

The last time I spent a lot of money on pillows was for the Oxygen pillow…well, we didn’t notice a difference. But I have yet to replace them and the Sleepy’s pillows sound much more common-sense, no dramatic claims. I’ll check out their website since we have no local stores.

With the holidays right around the corner, I’m always on the lookout for great gifts. I have to admit that I never would have thought of giving someone a pillow until you mentioned it. It really is a great idea since I think a lot of people don’t realize how much it can help you get a good night’s sleep. My mom could benefit a lot from this. Thanks!
