I have severe neck problems and get treated for headaches that start from the back of my head. About twice a year, I go to the pain center of the hospital to get denervation. 😟
Ah, you may wonder what on earth denervation is. It's a present I get because I have been such a good girl. Wrong, of course, it has nothing to do with gifts. And no, it's not a special box with pills to stop the headaches either. 😂
They place needles on the nerves that 'get on my nerves', and by heating those nerves with an electrical current, they try to stop them from transmitting pain. The first days after the treatment are the best. 😄
Duh, no, of course not, first your body reacts to the invasion from the needles in your head by sending a lot more pain signals. Resulting in even more neck problems and trouble sleeping. Then after a week, it gets better. 😊
At least I am not the only one having trouble sleeping. Gemma Jensen does too. You may not know her, but let's get to know her and 'That Pillow Thing' that she invented. She sent it as a gift to me in exchange for my honest opinion. 😍
About Gemma and That Pillow Thing
Ever since I can remember, I’ve always had trouble sleeping. I would lie in bed for hours at night, tossing and turning until eventually nodding off, only to be woken again at random times throughout the night. When the alarm went off in the morning, I would feel absolutely exhausted and didn’t know how I would get through the day.
I had a suspicion my pillow was the culprit, but couldn’t work out what was wrong. I’d spent a fortune on pillows over the years searching for the ‘perfect one’, but none of them quite hit the mark.
I found that if I had the right support for my neck, there would be too much padding for my head. But if I had the right amount of padding for my head, there wouldn’t be enough support for my neck…

The Dream
Then, after one particularly restless night, I had a really bizarre dream where a row of marshmallows was biting the edge of my pillow (crazy I know, but it was a dream).
Still in that dream, I lay down so my head rested on the pillow and the marshmallows were positioned underneath my neck. Strangely enough, I dreamt it felt really comfortable.
In the morning, while reflecting on this surreal dream (and wondering whether it had been triggered by my sweet tooth), a Eureka moment suddenly hit me – that’s exactly what my pillow needs! Obviously not a row of marshmallows, but something that would encase the edge of my pillow and provide an extra layer of support directed at just my neck area.
I then spent the following months making hundreds of prototypes. I bought numerous memory foam pillows and used an electric carving knife to hollow out an arc shape at the pillow’s edges (don’t try this at home!).

How That Pillow Thing came to be
I experimented with different foam densities until I found one that was both soft and supportive – and felt just like a marshmallow.
Finally, I came up with the product as it is today. Since nothing like it existed before, we didn’t know what to call it. We’d always referred to it as ‘That Pillow Thing’ and so the name eventually stuck.
The Result
When I first started using That Pillow Thing™ I noticed an immediate improvement. It instantly made my pillow much more comfortable, which helped me fall asleep quicker. I also seemed to sleep deeper and for longer too. I think this was because my body wasn’t constantly waking me up throughout the night to adjust incorrect or uncomfortable neck positions.
I now wake up feeling rested and like I have had a proper night’s sleep.
Sleep deprivation
Not sleeping well is a global problem that can lead to serious long-term health problems. There are several factors that can affect sleep, but an unsupportive pillow is definitely a contributor. Often, people don’t even realize that their pillow isn’t supporting them the way it should.
That Pillow Thing™ has had such a positive impact on the quality of my sleep that I wanted to share it with everyone. If you are not waking up feeling rested, then I really urge you to give That Pillow Thing™ a try for a few nights and see if it makes a difference. I’m convinced it will transform the way you sleep, but if you don’t like it, you are welcome to return it. In fact, I have extended the return policy to 90 days to really give you a chance to try it with no pressure.
I sincerely hope That Pillow Thing™ helps you the way it has helped me. If you have any questions, please contact me at gemma@thatpillowthing.com and I will be happy to help.

My opinion on That Pillow Thing
It feels very soft and is extremely comfortable when trying to read a book, resting your head on the pillow encased with That Pillow Thing. Although, I struggled somewhat to get my pillow in the right position to support my neck. 😵
I also slept a few nights with it. That Pillow Thing didn't solve all my problems, because I still have trouble sleeping and wake up a few times a night, but at least this time it wasn't because of neck problems. 😃
Often I also wake up during the night due to shoulder pain, and it seems That Pillow Thing solved that problem too. 😍
The thing I did notice is that after waking up, I fell asleep again pretty fast. 😀
If you have trouble sleeping, I would definitely try it out, because it is far from expensive. You have 90 days to return it, so what have you got to lose? 😳
Hope you like my blog.....Until next time.....Have a nice day
