Sleep is really important and I am a big advocate of getting enough of it. Did you realise that the way to achieve a good night\u2019s sleep can be as simply making sure that you have the right pillow? That\u2019s why nanu have produced the world\u2019s first personalised pillow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The benefits\nof a good night\u2019s sleep include stress reduction, memory improvement, lowering\nblood pressure, improved mood, making you smarter and keeping the heart healthy.\nWe have certainly found that things have improved for us since having better\nsleep habits. Just lately though I have started to keep waking in the night, I\nfigured that it must be my age but nanu have invited me to try one of their\npersonalised pillows to see if this improved things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How often\ndo you replace your pillow? <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Latest research from nanu has revealed that most of\nus sleep on a pillow which is over 5 years old! I have to put my hands up and\nadmit that I have no idea how old my pillow is! It is usually when my husband\nhas trouble with sleep and suggests we try a new type of pillow that ours are\nreplaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

40% of Brits have never washed their pillows. I\nhave to admit that the only time we wash ours is if something gets spilt on\nthem because they take so long to dry, it is the pillow cases we wash\nregularly. It isn\u2019t even something that had occurred to me before – are any of\nthe 60% that do wash them reading this blog? Doesn\u2019t it make the shape of the\npillow change? I think that is also when we would be more likely to replace the\npillows if we felt they needed replacing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why the\nRight Pillow is Important<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I had already ditched a pillow because I was having\ntrouble with my neck (and was told that one pillow was better than two) but I\nnever realised that everyone sleeps differently. Using the wrong pillow can\ncause uncomfortable broken sleep, as well as neck pain and headaches. It makes\nsense I guess because my husband prefers a much different type of pillow to\nmyself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good pillow\nshould support the neck and back properly to avoid stiffness. Nanu is the first\npersonalised pillow, tailored to your needs. On the nanu website you answer a\nseries of questions about your sleeping habits (height, weight, sleep\npreference and softness indicator) to create you the perfect pillow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My\nThoughts on my nanu Pillow<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When my nanu pillow arrived I was first struck with\nhow environmentally friendly the packaging was. It isn\u2019t just the packaging\nthat ticks my zero waste box though – with nanu pillows being filled with\nrecycled materials from plastic bottles: every nanu stops 20 plastic bottles\ngoing to landfill!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to my pillow I am really fussy – in\nfact so much so that I take my own on holiday, even when pillows are provided.\nThankfully nanu comes with a 30-night free trial because when my nanu pillow\narrived I felt the pillow was very big, and that maybe I had selected the wrong\nfirmness for how I like my pillow. I thought that my neck and shoulders were\nvery upright – but I found that the luxury nanu pillow was super soft and\ncomfortable. After a few days I just didn\u2019t feel I had got on with my nanu\npillow at night at all. But I got in touch and ordered a new pillow with a\ndifferent firmness rating – and oh my what a difference! My new nanu pillow is\nlike an absolute dream and I literally fell asleep as soon as my head hit the\npillow. It really showed me what a difference having the right pillow for me\nmade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

nanu\u2019s\nPillow Amnesty Campaign<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Nanu have launched a new campaign encouraging everyone to change pillows every three years because people just aren\u2019t doing it enough – with detrimental consequences to their sleep health. They believe that it is so important that they have set up a pillow amnesty via the nanu Facebook<\/a> page with entrants posting a photo of their old pillows: 50 randomly selected people will then win a free personalised pillow in exchange for their old one, plus everyone who enters will receive \u00a35 off discount code!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
