Buying a Pillow

When buying a pillow You have to keep track If you sleep on your stomach Your side or your back. Do you want one with foam Like the memory kind Or pure goose down from Europe, The best you can find? Is a zip-off type cover A perk that you need Or one promised to last Fifteen years guaranteed? For you really can't tell As you stand in the store Or peruse it online On a pillow-hunt tour. So you just take a gander (Intentional pun!) And you hope that you've chosen A comfortable one.

- There is a real difference in quality, Ilene ... 15 years warranty? ... You can switch to a new every year ... always have a new one ... free of charge on the warranty :) - Lovely and soft as my favorite pillow :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

You very often come up with original topics, some of which I would never dream of writing about, Ilene! Pleased to see that I'm not the only one who enjoys your lovely smooth flowing style of writing:) Regards // paul

Lovely rhythm and rhyme to an easy flowing poem... on a difficult subject indeed...I no longer sleep on a pillow...All the best...

I knew I'd love this. I bought some pillows not long ago, went through all that and spilled some coffee on one!
