I love to sleep. I even consider it one of my hobbies :). Naturally, I also love pajamas, pillows, blankets, slippers, etc. I also love eco-friendly products. I recently got the chance to work with dream soft bedware and was so excited to receive a couple things from them for review.

I chose to review a Serenity Rejuvenation Organic Millet and Wool Pillow as well as their Dreamsacks bamboodreams night shirt

I was most excited about the nightgown. I had never worn bamboo before, but I had read from so many other bloggers about how amazing bamboo is. I also really like nightgowns because I just find them more comfortable than wearing pj shorts or pj pants with a shirt. When it arrived I instantly put it on and was thrilled. I sometimes order a size small or sometimes a medium, in shirts and dresses, etc. I thought with this being a nightgown it probably had a bit of give so I ordered a small. It fits great. It’s thin and super comfortable, which makes it great for summer time or for people who might overheat at night. It’s very stretchy too. It was given the Oeko-tex certification, meaning it’s tested for harmful dyes or fabrics, and found to be eco-friendly.

I also received the pillow which is half wool and half millet. When this pillow arrived I was really surprised at how heavy it was! I was so surprised that I weighed myself and then weighed myself holding this pillow to see how heavy it is – it weighed in at slightly over 5lbs! By far the heaviest pillow I’ve ever owned. The millet portion o fthis pillow is basically beans/beads, which I didn’t realize when ordering. The pillow is nice and thick, at 4.5 inches tall. I really like this pillow. To be honest, at first I thought it was sort of stiff and heavy. I didn’t think I’d care for the pillow much. However, after the first night I fell in love. The wool is enough to make the pillow seem relatively comfortable at first, but not better than any other pillow I’ve owned in the past. However, the best thing about this pillow is the millet (bead-like) portion. The beads cause the pillow to stay still, due to the weight of the pillow. I have seen a noticeable difference in my sleep since getting this pillow.

I tried explaining this to my boyfriend and he didn’t understand, but maybe some of you will. Occasionally I sleep so well, that when I wake up my entire body is stiff, and I truly feel like I haven’t moved a muscle all night long. Although it’s stiff and I often have lots of cracks when I first get up and moving after a night like that, I always feel SO rested! Well, I get that almost every night with this pillow. I really feel like I stay so still all night long, and I think it’s greatly thanks to the millet portion of this pillow.
