Total Pillow Review (& Giveaway Ends 8/20)

ABOUT:

VERSATILE TRANSFORMING PILLOW Cradles you with Comfort While Asleep and Awake

Most people spend approximately one-third of their lives asleep on their pillow, however the new Total Pillow has uses for the two-thirds of time spent awake.

There are pillows for all types of issues but no one pillow that bridges all conditions, until now. The Total Pillow™ is for use overnight, on the couch, sitting at your desk, driving, while on a plane or train, in college dorms, or just while watching television.  This donut-shaped pillow transforms in just seconds to more than five supportive shapes for customized relief.  The patent pending locking technology enables the Total Pillow to support the neck, lower back, ankles and knees.

“Consumers own many different pillows for different applications, identifying the need for a multipurpose pillow solution.” said Steve Heroux, CEO of Hampton Direct. “The Total Pillow transforms into five different shapes to answer a wide range of conditions.”

The Total Pillow’s ergonomic design allows your body to be cradled in support whether you’re a side sleeper and like support between your knees and/or ankles or are a frequent traveler. It’s also great for the businessperson, who needs lumbar support for the long periods of time spent seated.

Hampton Direct, Inc. is a leading international importer and distributor of consumer products. The Vermont-based company’s offerings include common household problem solving products that includes the As Seen On TV Wonder Hanger®, Twin Draft Guard® and Total Pillow®.

MY THOUGHTS:

I admit when I first saw the Total Pillow I didn’t think it would be something I would use regularly, but because it is so versatile I found myself bringing it room to room with me, even in the car!  My favorite use for the Total Pillow is behind my back while I am sitting at my office computer.  I use it as lumbar support and it actually keeps me sitting up straight, it can do this because it is a sturdier pillow.  The Total Pillow has a soft cover but it is more solid than squishy.  Not a pillow that I would crawl up and fall asleep on, but more of a pillow that I use to support something or keep me comfortable.  I have found too that it is nice to use as neck support when I am watching TV, although my husband does make fun of me because it looks funny!

Other uses for the Total pillow as knee support, for example when you are laying in bed you can use this between your legs/knees or in the car to sleep more comfortably rather than straining your neck or slouching in the seat.  It really is a versatile pillow and I love how you can twist it and mold it to the position you want.  I do want to add though that this is the second Total Pillow I received as the first one broke open out of the box – I am sure though this was just a manufacturers defect as this one is just fine and I have definitely smooshed and twisted it to maneuver it to different positions!
