Everyone seems to be obsessing over optimization — 100%, 100mph, all the time. Many of us cope by unwinding in bed — reading or watching Rivals — that moment of simply taking a breath is so important. No longer are beds just for sleeping; they signify a haven away from the relentless noise of the everyday — that means one thing — we have to be very intentional about our bedfellows. And by bedfellows, I mean our pillows.
Buying bedding is a tough gig, though — you have to consider softness, style, and support. But I’ve come across one pillow that ticks all my boxes. The wedge headboard pillow, available from Amazon, is half cushion, half headboard. Designed to be a backrest that is more supportive than any pillow, this firm wedge improves circulation and helps reduce strain. There are affordable options, but if you've got a bit more budget to spend, we really love this one that comes in different sizes, and has a removable cover, too. It has lots of great reviews, too.
