We take melatonin. We set the thermostat to 65℉. If you’re like me, you’ve got your mouth tape on. But what are you doing with your pillow to optimize your sleep? You can upgrade to memory foam and wrap it in silk, but beyond that, options are slim — or so I thought, until I discovered Bearaby’s (currently on-sale!) “Hugget” Pillow. The now-famous weighted knot design claims to stimulate serotonin production, reduce cortisol, and boost melatonin, helping you fall (and stay) asleep longer. Sounds good.
So, how exactly does a pillow pull off such sleep sorcery? Like the best weighted blankets, the Hugget is gently weighted to provide therapeutic sensory relief, squashing the tension of the day away. But surely such a thing is hideous, right? Wrong again. Its twisted, sculptural design puts ordinary pillows to shame.
