Because of reasons which my GUTS people would know, I’ve been working quite hard the last couple of days, even weekends. Somehow right, when you have to work on Sat and Sun, its like no matter how much you rest, you are just not as energised as before. And with nights not being any cooler too, its quite hard to get a really really really restful sleep.
Was shopping for some stationery at a bookshop near my place, when I chanced upon this range of pillows being sold at the bookshop. Yes you did not hear or see wrongly….the bookshop was also carrying a range of very interesting pillows. The sales assistant said their boss brought them in, after having bought and felt they were good.
Not sure if you’ve heard it before, this range of pillows is called 茶枕…literally meaning TEA PILLOW. The pillow core is filled with tea leaves…new of course (NOT after someone had used it to brew tea LAH!). And they have different kinds of tea leaves for different purposes.
Like the one I bought, Jasmine Tea pillow (above), is for relaxation. They have another one…more herbal in smell…which is for those who find it hard to fall asleep or suffer from frequent nightmares. And what I like about it (apart from the heavenly smell), is that the tea leaves will adjust to your neck contour when you sleep on it. Hence, one would not have to suffer from neck or head pain after waking up.
Of course, these are what they claim lah. But to me, I’m a sucker for pillows. I’ve tried like really a lot of different types, even the super expensive Tempur, but none really quite suited me. And most of them get out of shape quite easily and in a short while, it would get too flat for me. So bo bian, I’m always on the hunt for the best pillow! Hope this will be a good investment for me.
If you are like me, always looking for the most ideal pillow, do check this out. You can find more information about it on this website . The bookshop where I bought the pillow is called Evergreen, located at Novena. Not sure though, if there are other places which carry it. I really like the Jasmine tea smell in my pillow. They also have other variations like eye pillow, car cushion pillow, etc.

Effective?

Not bad. I find that if I have a slightly throbbing head when I sleep, after waking up, the headache is not there anymore. Previously, I would need to take panadol to ensure that.
Now got promotion somemore, buy first one at normal price, second one is at 70% off. I bought mine at $130. I think its good investment, at least cheaper than Tempur.

$130 is the 1st one? Did u buy a 2nd one? haha.
I have difficulty sleeping well recently. Think it’s the stress @ work. Missed my chess game with Zhou Gong.
I like the Tempur type of pillow for the contours.

Dunno why leh, the Tempur one I bought caused me to have backaches after using it. This tea one also will fit your contours.
I didn’t get the 2nd one lah…cos couldn’t find anyone who wanted to buy, at that point of time. You can ask P bah, seems like she’s also interested.
