My Favorite Pillow Update

CCC

About three years ago, while settling in at CCC, I embarked on outfitting my perfect bed. After a lot of research and input from followers, I purchased a pair of Casper Original pillows. Here is my update on them.

My pups have their annual physicals today, so it seemed like a great day to post about living with dogs.

I love my bed and have done lots of research and experimenting to have everything exactly the way I like it. I have shown you my Annie Selke gold leaf canopy bed that is my favorite piece in my home.

Making the Perfect Bed

I have definitely perfected the art of making my bed. Everyone has different sleeping preferences, but here is what I love. I have never slept better ever.

Mattress Help

CCC

 

My current mattress in the master bedroom is a Heavenly Bed that I have been very happy with. I need a new mattress for the guest bedroom. There are SO many choices out there now! You all were very helpful when I was pillow shopping and I ended up with Casper pillows that I love. 

So I would appreciate your suggestions on mattresses. Casper is in the running since the pillows are so great. And even though it is for the guest bedroom, I want something really nice. Thanks in advance for your help.

Sleep

Slip Silk Sleep Mask

 Sleep is on my mind today as I stayed up half the night watching election returns. I also wanted to report back that after using the original Casper pillows for a couple of months now, that I absolutely love them. 

Have you noticed that sleep masks are a thing? They are everywhere. They increase melatonin production by removing light sources, important in urban areas. I also think they look very glamorous. I just ordered this beautiful pink striped silk one above.

Do any of you use a sleep mask? One would look very old Hollywood with feather trimmed pajamas like these. Loungewear is of course very hot with quarantining.

Pillows and Pillowcases

Hill House Home

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving and is staying home safe and sound today enjoying Black Friday shopping from the comforts of home like me. Speaking of home and Black Friday sales, I wanted to return to the subject of pillows. 

You will recall I posted a few weeks ago about making the perfect bed and asked specifically for new pillow suggestions. The majority of commenters suggested the Casper original pillow. They started their Black Friday sale a couple of weeks ago and I immediately ordered two and I love them. They are the perfect balance of soft and firm and work with any sleeping position. I would highly recommend them. Thank you for your recommendations. 

I am debating silk pillowcases for them. Silk pillowcases seem all the rage and people can't say enough about how great they are for you hair and skin. I have read several articles including from the very reputable Good Housekeeping that they do indeed reduce wrinkles, bed hair, frizz, and split ends. Any experience or recommendations? This is on my Christmas shopping list for myself because I have been a very good girl this year.
