Pillow Obsession
I’m pretty easygoing about everything – I don’t really care which kind of soda I’m drinking, I like the shore just as much as I like the mountains, and I’m really willing to drink just about any type of beer. However, there is one quirky thing I need. And that, my friends is down-feather pillows when I sleep. If you must know, I prefer three of them, however, I can make do with one if needed.
Strange, you may say. I agree fully with you. But, that’s just the way it is. When I went to college, I had to pack my down-feather pillows with me. When I sleep over somebody’s house, I HAVE to bring my down-feather pillows. My wife has prevented me from bringing them to hotels, and it bothers the hell out of me … thankfully, many of the hotels in Atlantic City apparently know about me, and make sure that these types of pillows are available when I get there.
I know there are quite a few people out there who probably can’t sleep on down-feather pillows because of allergies. I think the worst thing that could ever happen to me is to develop one of these allergies … I’m not sure how I’d ever be able to get a good night’s sleep again … I’m sure I would look for the help of some good alcohol.
THREE pillows at a time? Oh, wait -- real pillows.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I often can't sleep in other beds unless I'm completely worn out. So I usually push myself to exhaustion when traveling.
You pillow biter! j/k
ReplyDeleteI like sleeping on medium-firm foamcore pillows. I tried feather pillows but found they were too soft for me.
I hear ya! I can NOT sleep if I don't have a decent pillow.
ReplyDeleteI'm a 3 pillow guy too, los. Mostly due to the fact that I have had a few bumps and bruises in my my life, some permanent.
ReplyDeletei just need one firm pillow under my head and one behind my head between the headboard and me. don't ask me why i developed that habit... it's a long story.
ReplyDeleteI would love to get some down pillows of my own. I slept on some at a hotel once and they were the most awesome pillows EVER!

LOL
ReplyDeleteI hate down feather pillows...I HATE them. I feel like I might suffocate when the ends go up around my ears...
Seriously, after the car accident, I had to sleep w/ the theraputic pillow...when I don't travel w/ it, I am walking sideways!!!
In a pinch I have had to roll up the towel and support the neck.
deep sleepy thoughts....
Those aren't pillows!
ReplyDeleteJeff - I've had to resort to that ... or lots of drinking.
ReplyDeleteInk - Feather pillows are the Rolls Royces of pillows.
Steph - I think pillows are very underrated.
Crass - I could probably sleep with 10 pillows ...
Minijonb - Hey, we all have our habits ... whatever works.
Snow-Elf - You can find good sales on them every once in a while at Target, or Boscovs.
Superstar - You're not the first person who has told me they feel like they are suffocating with feather-down pillows.
Rev - Hey-yo!!!
