Product Review: The Obus Forme Contoured Memory Foam Pillow Plus

Getting a good night's sleep on a regular basis is worth its weight in gold. When you consider how much sleep affects our energy level, mood and even daily productivity, sleep's value is clear. Without good sleeping patterns, both our personal lives and professional careers can definitely suffer. The Obus Forme Contoured Memory Foam Pillow Plus can't guarantee you'll sleep soundly each night, but I've been using it for several weeks now, and my sleep is all the better for it.

Feel & Function

For those who've slept on memory foam mattresses or the toppers which drape over a regular mattress, then memory foam's benefits are already well known. The feeling of being cradled in something which doesn't restrict movement, yet is still firm and supportive enough to provide just the right amount of body support is what makes memory foam so special for sleeping. That same comfortable feeling comes with this pillow. The big difference is the contoured surface. Regular pillows often don't provide a desirable sleeping surface, so we resort to bunching up a few pillows. Despite its compact size, the Obus Forme pillow has just the right surface area for even the biggest or heaviest head.

Another great feature is the choice of pillow height or thickness. The pillow boasts a high end and a low end. Simply swivel the pillow around and sleep on the side and the height that's better for you.

Sleeping Soundly

On the pillow's box, the manufacturer states, "Contoured to ergonomically support the natural alignment of your neck. Helps to decrease morning pain and stiffness resulting from poor neck support." This pillow delivers on its promise. My neck always feels supported when sleeping on it, but it's never overly restricted. Many times morning meant pain and stiffness in my neck and shoulder region. This has all but disappeared. With regular pillows, I'd toss and turn all night, but that hasn't happened since I've been using this pillow. After using it, the first few nights of sound sleep and painless mornings were a wonderful welcome surprise. It has now become an expected daily occurrence.

Value Verdict

Obus Forme Contoured Memory Foam Pillow Plus provides the sleeper with a comfortable pillow which promotes a better overall sleeping experience. If you've suffered from neck or shoulder pain in the mornings, after tossing and turning all night, this pillow may just be the answer to your problem. For about 24.95 retail at most stores and online, The Obus Forme Contoured Memory Foam Pillow Plus is worth every penny for promoting a better, more restful night's sleep.
