If your Thanksgiving holiday was anything like mine, you might be feeling pretty exhausted right now. Between visits from various out-of-town family members, working on house projects, cooking Thanksgiving dinner,  and setting up our Christmas tree, I am beat. Reviewing the Classic organic pillow from Essentia could not have come at a better time.  Each night for the past week as I collapsed into my bed, I was so thankful for this pillow! And my neck and shoulders were thankful too!

If you are a fan of memory foam but worry about all of the synthetic materials in traditional memory foam, Essentia is an excellent natural alternative. I was a little bit skeptical as I am also the owner of a famous brand memory foam pillow, but my pillow from Essentia was extremely comfortable and supportive! I am very impressed with the quality of the pillow. Not only that, but the organic zippered case is both stylish and comfortable.

Essentia states that their memory foam is

Designed to be the healthy alternative to conventional memory foams, ourpetroleum-free foam was developed in-house and is the only natural memory foam in the world. Made from rubber tree sap, our natural memory foam is given its unique feel with organic essential oils, plant extracts and water.

Pillows and mattresses are not typically what I think about when I try to shop organic, but the more I learn about all of the chemicals in the very fabric we sleep on, I have to pause and consider what I can do to make my home safer.

 

Win a Pillow from Essentia!

Essentia is giving one lucky winner a 2 pillow set. To enter this contest, leave a comment telling us why this pillow would make your night’s sleep a little bit better! Giveaway will end on December 10th, 2011 at midnight.

Disclosure: I received the above product to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own.

    My husband and I always talk about how we need new pillows, but we’re too lasy to go shopping for them. I love that these are petroleum free! I can’t believe the amount of products that are out there that we buy every day and don’t think about whether they are environmentally friendly or not. I am trying to be more conscientious of the products I purchase, it’s hard, but I’m trying!

    Winning this pillow will help me sleep better because my husband will sleep better. He is currently tossing during the night trying to keep the two pillows he has together and typically wakes me up. If he had one good quality pillow he won’t have to move so much to keep them together!

    Pillows seem to be something that I buy too often. I get one and hate it, it wears out too quick, or if I do like it, my fiance or my son steals it. Maybe these pillows would work and I would only have to worry about one pillow thief until I bought a third. Lol.

    This pillow would make my nighttime sleep a WHOLE lot better!

    I have pretty severe allergies to everything from feathers to chemicals to other non-natural additives found in sleeping accessories. I also tend to get a sore neck/back upon waking in the morning and my osteopath thinks a lot of that has to do with a bad mattress and pillow. Memory foam has always been the only thing to alleviate my soreness, but it aggravates my allergies!

    I have been reading about Essentia and I really want to try/buy their pillows and even a new mattress when my finances accommodate. To have these pillows would solve both of my major sleeping issues (allergies and posture). I would love, love, love to win them!! Thanks!
