Fights Sleep Wrinkles with Orthopedic Height Adjustable Memory Foam for Sleeping on Back and Side (Made in Italy)
The Sleep and Glow Anti-Aging Pillow is a new product on the market that claims to help reduce wrinkles, improve skin elasticity, and diminish the appearance of dark circles. It does this by using a combination of memory foam and cooling technology to create a comfortable and supportive sleeping environment.
Here are some of the pros and cons of the Sleep and Glow Anti-Aging Pillow:
Pros:
Cons:
Overall, the Sleep and Glow Anti-Aging Pillow is a promising new product with some potential benefits for the skin. However, it is important to note that more research is needed to confirm these benefits and that the pillow is not a magic bullet for anti-aging.
Here are some additional things to consider before purchasing the Sleep and Glow Anti-Aging Pillow:
The Sleep & Glow Pillow
The Sleep & Glow pillow is an anti-aging pillow for back and side sleepers that promises less fatigued skin, a refreshed face and a healthy back. Its design is quite technical, which is why even though it’s often marketed for its beauty benefits, it also has a lot to offer physiologically.
Overview of The Sleep & Glow Pillow
This pillow is designed and produced in Europe and it has been patented in Europe, the US, and Japan. The company offers a 30-night sleep trial with a money-back guarantee. On top of that, they stand by a 3-year warranty. The pillow retails for $195 on their website.
Construction of The Sleep & Glow Pillow
The pillow only comes in one size with the following dimensions: 22” x 15” x 5” and it’s made with some pretty remarkable memory foam. Every part of this pillow has been made with the intention of ad addressing some type of problem. Even the pillowcases, which are offered in both Tencel and silk versions, have been well thought out. This pillow is constructed with European materials that are non-toxic, safety approved materials that also have ISO quality control system certification.
My Sleep & Glow Pillow Findings
*Important Note*
After filming this review, I realized that I made a mistake in terms of how I demonstrated laying on the pillow. I used the pillow upside down. Doing so can actually cause headaches and further neck problems. The higher bolster has to touch the forehead and the lower bolster, the chin. I apologize for the confusion.
The biggest selling point of the Sleep & Glow pillow is within its construction. It not only looks meticulously built but it is. I can tell that some incredibly intelligent people created this pillow and that’s confirmed when Sleep & Glow mentions that it was designed with the help of both cosmetologists and orthopedists. Cosmetologists are most likely a familiar term if you came to this article interested in beauty and anti-aging but for those who aren’t familiar with orthopedists, they are knowledgeable and skilled in the “prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles.” This is also known as our musculoskeletal system. In short, they’re masters of human anatomy.
Despite the Sleep & Glow Pillow being primarily marketed for what it has to offer aesthetically, it’s psychological components shouldn’t be overlooked. While it was created to help you look your best it also assists with maintaining spinal alignment as well as proper curvature of the neck. Why is this important? Because our spinal alignment is essential to our health. If our spine is out of whack, odds are other things are as well. The construction of this pillow seeks to address that concern by providing you with the physiologically-correct body position during sleep, encouraging spinal alignment and a happy cervical curve. For those who have already existing musculoskeletal issues, it’s advised that you consult your physician/chiropractor/orthopedist if a pillow like this can adequately meet your needs. It’s quite possible that it’s not the right solution for you.
The method in which it aids in anti-aging is multi-faceted. First, there’s the form (the way it’s shaped and cut), then the material used to create it (memory foam), and then the pillowcases it comes with.
In addition to being comfortable, the memory foam used in its construction is dense where it provides perfectly adequate support but it’s not so firm that it feels stiff. You’ll achieve comfortable side and back sleeping and the way certain portions of it are cut out, it does a great job at cradling your head regardless of how you sleep (keep in mind this is not for stomach sleepers). The neck support, all thanks to the shoulder cradle, is really out of this world.
One of the most advertised features of this pillow is how it prevents your face from getting smushed. There’s just no better word for it than that because most likely, you totally know what I mean when I say it: smushed. The anatomical shape of the pillow helps minimize skin twisting and folding and this works by avoiding your face from directly having to lean too much into the pillow when on your side. This works to prevent sleep wrinkles, morning puffiness and those unsightly pillow marks and creases that some of us wake up with. As an added side note, if you want to avoid vertical wrinkles to the decollage area, you will want to sleep on your back. If you want to avoid wrinkles altogether, sleeping on a pillow that encourages this, is already a big step in the right direction. If you insist on sleeping on your side, using a pillow like this one is an improvement.
The pillowcase options that Sleep & Glow offers are Tencel and silk. Apparently, both have some pretty interesting characteristics that further improve the effectiveness of the Sleep & Glow Pillow. Both also happen to be made of natural fibers. One thing I want to mention, for those who may not be aware, is this: When silk is generally mentioned (anywhere on the internet), satin is usually following along behind it.
While it’s not relevant to this pillow, I’d like to just educate some people (because embarrassingly, I recently learned it myself and it’s an essential distinction). Satin is not a replacement fabric for silk. Silk is an actual fabric, while satin is a type of weave used to achieve a smoother feeling fabric. So silk is the real thing and with this pillow or pillowcase, that’s what you’ll be getting. Our eco-friendly readers will also be happy to know that both pillowcase fabrics offered, silk and Tencel, are biodegradable.
Silk is a natural protein fiber consisting mainly of fibroin (an insoluble protein) and it’s created by certain insect larvae in the formation of cocoons. The best-known silk comes from the mulberry silkworm. Silk has a few compelling characteristics:
Here’s an interesting fact about silk from Wikipedia.com:
“The shimmering appearance of silk is due to the triangular prism-like structure of the silk fiber, which allows silk cloth to refract incoming light at different angles, thus producing different colors.”
One of the most interesting things that I learned about silk is that sunlight tends to encourage the decomposition of silk by atmospheric oxygen so it’s best kept out of the light.
Tencel is the brand name of a fiber that is known as lyocell. While it’s technically considered a synthetic fiber, it’s retrieved from natural materials and goes through a lengthy process to be transformed into fabric. The result is a luxurious high-quality fiber. Tencel also has a few intriguing characteristics:
It’s true that this pillow is pricey when compared to more cheaply designed versions but it’s almost not the most expensive pillow I’ve seen. Specialty pillows like this can easily run $200 to $300. I’ve seen others that were even higher. I understand that this may sound insane to most people but to target particular problems, or particular areas of the body, people are willing to spend if the product does what it claims. Specifically constructed designs require resources. But for the money they ask, premium quality is typically what you receive.
My Sleep & Glow Pillow Recommendation
I’m really impressed with this pillow. The quality of the materials used and its intricate construction certainly justifies the price. From the physiological aspect, I’m confident that it can help certain individuals with their neck and shoulder issues. From the beauty aspect, the combination of elements involved, such as the structure, the density of the memory foam, as well as the materials that were chosen for the pillowcase, sound promising. The first night I spent on the pillow, I started sleeping on my back and I woke up still laying on my back. That was surprising to me as I’m totally in love with side sleeping, nothing is nearly as comforting to me. Sleeping on your back, in general, is the most recommended thing to reduce and prevent wrinkles and if a pillow like this can help encourage that, it’s worth the spend. For those skeptical, it may require some experimentation to know for sure if it’s for you but I don’t think the amount of reviews they’ve amassed is coincidental. There is obviously something they are doing right.

The XOcomfort Pillow is real materials science brought to bedding. It’s a customizable shredded memory foam pillow designed for all types of sleepers. Unlike other cooling pillows, the XOcomfort pillow is not cool to the touch, meaning that you can “stay cool” without feeling cold. The secret is within the actual foam itself.
XOcomfort provides engineered foam products designed to increase comfort. It’s currently used in beds and pillows but is expected to be introduced to other comfort surfaces. It’s built with heat channels which move heat away from the body allowing for easier sleep and relaxation.
The company is currently offering $20 off their pillow (in Queen size) if you follow the link to their Amazon Product Page directly from their website. The pillow normally retails for $69.99. Also, because it’s a Prime item, Amazon Prime members are able to get this pillow with free 2-day shipping. The company guarantees deep and restorative sleep or your money back within 30 days of purchase.
This may seem minuscule to some people but one nice thing about this pillow is the option in terms of size. Many pillows come in just a single standard size but in the case of the XOcomfort pillow, it’s available in Standard, Queen and King sizes. The depth of their pillows is about 6 inches but because this is a customizable pillow, that can change based on whether or not you choose to remove any foam from it.
Dimensions for the pillow are as follows:
Standard: 20 inches x 26 inches
Queen: 20 inches x 30 inches
King: 20 inches x 36 inches
The actual foam itself is CertiPUR-US certified. This is a not-for-profit organization that certifies foam based on their standards for content, emissions and durability. There are 6 requirements that need to be met to receive CertiPUR-US certification. They are:
I did experience some off-gassing with this pillow so be sure to let it BREATHE. As for the foam itself, it’s certainly interesting. The pillow contained shredded, cross-chopped, cooling memory foam. It’s incredibly soft to the touch and feels so light but when you’re laying on a pillow full of it, it’s actually quite supportive and a bit on the firmer side. The pillowcase also feels soft and I was happy to see that the actual foam itself was contained in a seperate layer, made of a light, opaque and breathable material. Everything looks like it’s of quality. The fabrics, zipper and foam itself all look top-notch. Also for a clean freak, it’s so nice that I don’t need to remove each piece of foam just to wash the pillowcase. God bless! Laying on the pillow, I would have to say that I found it incredibly supportive. As a side-sleeper, I felt it supported that gap between the head and neck really quite nicely.
You can access the inside of the pillow with its zippered cover.
The XOcomfort pillow is created by the same people behind XOcomfort™ Cooling Technology and XOnano Smartfoam™. The XOcomfort pillow is what utilizes their cooling technology, while their smartfoam is a component of another entirely different project and endeavor. You can learn more about that here: https://xonanosmartfoam.com
XOnano Smartfoam is defined as: “an impact sensing technology that can be used to measure the magnitude of impacts in real time. The foam is engineered to create electricity when impacted which correlates to the impact magnitude.” This type of sophisticated smart foam allows data to be collected by way of technologically advanced nano-particles that are much smaller and less complex than sensors currently on the market. They create foam that is impact sensing, pressure sensing, and thermal regulating.
The inventor behind Smartfoam™ is Jake Merrell, who actually sold one of his companies to go back to school to become an engineer. XOnano Smartfoam™ is the commercialization of his Doctoral research at Brigham Young University. Initially, the smartfoam he developed was designed to better address concussions and head injuries that were common among young football athletes. For example, by measuring the impact, a coach could more easily decide whether or not a player should seek medical attention. XOnano is seeing a lot of application in the sports industry and its use will continue to expand into other markets.
You can watch the video below to learn more:
XOnano Smartfoam™ partnered with Rogers Corporation (NYSE:ROG) in Feb of 2018. Rogers Corporation is an electronics industry company and a global leader in engineered materials that power, project and connect the world. The announcement of this partnership was published on the Rogers Corp website itself, further amplifying its significance.
Many companies in the sleep industry say their products are “designed by real engineers” and so on and so forth but I sometimes wonder the validity behind those types of statements. More often than not, it can be difficult to find all the information you’re looking for but I’m happy to say that the company and the people within it are the real deal. If a public company like the Rogers Corporation is confident in them than how can I not be?
Because this is a pillow that would require some time before I can report on it’s cooling properties, keep their 30 day guarantee in mind. While I do tend to sleep hot, that’s not the case every night so it varies. Many online reviews show that people are absolutely ecstatic about this thing but as with everything there are some exceptions. On another side note, if you find you’ve tried many cooling pillows but still aren’t seeing a difference, consider whether or not your mattress and/or your bed sheets, blankets, and comforters are conducive to cooler sleep. They might not be.
The XOcomfort pillow was developed by a startup with REAL promise for this venture and beyond. This isn’t just a company that purchases white label pillows from a manufacturer in China. They engineer their own products and the potential of their inventions is staggering.
The Domus Pillow is the best selling pillow of the Urban Bloom line. It’s straightforward, ergonomic, ideal for any sleep style and comes with just enough subtle features that give it a super modern and lux feel. The company’s personally engineered memory foam is so interesting to the touch that it’ll blow your mind. All of this is wrapped up in a cool grey removable hypoallergenic cover with lovely leather detailing to keep your level of sleep as healthy as possible. The Domus Pillow comes with a 10-year warranty and a 90-Day Sleep On Us Satisfaction Guarantee.
The actual memory foam pillow is accessible from the pillowcase so you’re a zipper pull away from exploring what the foam is really all about. It’s a single piece of foam so there is nothing messy to fear, which is a big plus. Sometimes a non-customizable/changeable pillow can really be much more preferable, not to mention stress-free.
This entire package deal of pillow is designed to help you sleep as COOL as possible but obviously, not ice cold :). There are a few ways that the Domus Pillow manages its temperature regulation. The first step is thanks to its foam core that provides consistent pressure distribution that allows for supportive sleep by way of pressure point relief. The density of the memory foam is quite interesting. You really have to touch it to understand it.
In addition to the actual density of the pillow is how cleverly Urban Bloom has addressed breathability. They have designed and drilled actual holes through the memory foam pillow, to the point where you can stick your finger from one end of the pillow through the other. These are dispersed all around the pillow and while it shows taking the concept of breathability pretty literally, what wiser way to do so but in exactly this manner? When you squeeze the pillow you can really hear the air traveling through these open spaces. The following element that also aids in a cooling experience is the extra wide mesh gusset within the pillowcase. This creates an additional passive airway channel thus aiding in further heat dispersion. A mesh gusset is also a huge plus for side sleepers, as it really helps to bridge the distance between one’s ear and shoulder.
While the Domus Pillow comes in only one size, I think it’s quite honestly the perfect size. It’s not too big or too small, it is quite literally just right. It measures 20″ wide x 28″ long x 4″ deep. A “standard” pillowcase is 20” X 26” and a Queen pillowcase measures 20” X 30” so size-wise the pillow should work just fine with your bedding.
Every part of it this pillow is washable and I’m grateful a company exists that isn’t scared to address the element of cleanliness because as they say “cleanliness is Godliness” but not just that folks, a cleaner life usually means a much healthier one. I think a lot of people buy pillows and sometimes have no idea what to do with them later; “to clean or not to clean, that is the question.” It’s frustrating and sad one has to emphasize it but there is more to a clean bed than just a clean pillowcase. The Domus Pillow is cleanable both inside and out. What that means is the pillowcase can be thrown in the washing machine (but read the instructions, of course) and the actual memory foam pillow itself can be run through water. The direction is to run the memory foam under cold water until it runs clear and the company recommends doing this once a month.
The moment I saw the Domus Pillow, I couldn’t help but think that it looked like the more attractive sibling of the iSense Pillow but let’s be honest, it’s so much more than just a good looking pillow. Aesthetics do matter a lot to me on a personal level, I am a very visual and creative person so I’ll notice certain things others may not but it’s really about what’s past the cover that impressed me. I think your life will only change for the better when you allow your tired head to rest on a memory foam pillow for the night.
Unpacking the Eight Sleep Pillow: A Glimpse Into the Future of Bedding
In an age where technology intersects with almost every aspect of our lives, even our pillows are not exempt. Enter the Eight Sleep Pillow – a product that promises to revolutionize how we perceive comfort. But is it just another tech fad, or does it genuinely offer a novel sleeping experience? Let’s delve deeper.
1. What is the Eight Sleep Pillow?
Eight Sleep, a company known for its pioneering efforts in sleep technology, has introduced a pillow that combines traditional comfort with modern innovation. While not a “smart” pillow in the sense of being connected to apps or devices, the Eight Sleep Pillow is designed with advanced materials to cater to various sleepers’ needs.
2. Customizable Comfort:
One of the standout features of the Eight Sleep Pillow is its customizable design. Many sleep experts argue that there’s no “one size fits all” when it comes to pillows. Recognizing this, Eight Sleep has developed a pillow that allows users to adjust its height and firmness, catering to back, side, and stomach sleepers alike.
3. Advanced Materials:
Beyond customization, the pillow boasts a range of advanced materials. Memory foam, known for its pressure-relieving properties, is a staple. However, Eight Sleep has taken it a step further by introducing cooling gel-infused foams and hypoallergenic materials to ensure a refreshing and allergen-free sleep.
4. Sustainability Matters:
In a nod to growing environmental concerns, the Eight Sleep Pillow also emphasizes sustainability. From the sourcing of materials to production processes, there’s a clear commitment to minimizing environmental impact.
5. Price Point and Availability:
While the Eight Sleep Pillow sits at a higher price point than your average pillow, many argue that its innovative features and durability offer good value for money. It’s available on the company’s website and through select retailers.
The Eight Sleep pillow is a pillow that you can adjust to your specific preferences. It has three layers inside the shell that can be switched around or removed to get the perfect amount of loft and comfort. A standard size Eight Sleep pillow retails for $75 and can be purchased direct through their website.
This pillow comes with a 30 day guarantee where if you don’t like it, you can return it for a refund. Your pillow should arrive about a week after placing your order.
Made in China
This pillow should have broad appeal. When you sleep on the shredded foam side, it feels like a down pillow. I found it to have a good amount of loft for side sleeping. I have broad shoulders and this still supported my head adequately. People with smaller frames can take out the the memory foam layer or the other shredded foam layer to reduce the loft.
If you prefer more of a solid memory foam feel, you can just flip the pillow to the side which has the solid piece of memory foam for a firmer feel.
Below is a video that shows how each of the three layers respond.
Here’s a side view with the cover unzipped to show you each of the layers.
I think Eight sleep has done a good job of striking a balance between a traditional and foam pillow feel. People interested in trying a foam pillow but are still attached to the feel of a traditional down or even polyester feel will be able to easily adapt to this one.
This pillow is very breathable and light for a memory foam pillow. Also with a 30 day trial, it’s definitely worth trying. Most companies will design their pillows to work well with their mattress and this one is no exception. This pillow works great with the compliment of mattresses offered by Eight sleep. Just like this pillow, their mattresses incorporate next generation memory foam that is responsive and more breathable so pairing the two will give you a consistent feel from head to toe.
I was recently given a Tempurpedic Sympony pillow for review. The Tempur Symphony Pillow by Tempurpedic has a slight contour on one side that allows for more cradling for your head.

I have been sleeping on my Snuggle Pedic pillow since last Saturday, February 7, 2015. It has taken some adjustment but I think I may end up staying with this pillow for a while. The shredded memory foam is starting to loosen a little more but I still notice a strong off gassing odor. I hope that it dissipates soon otherwise I may have to go a more natural route. UPDATE, a couple days later and no more odor. Now I’m really enjoying this pillow! It is so amazingly soft. Not only because of the bamboo casing but also the shredded foam makes it feel like you are sleeping on hundreds of mini foam pillows.
What I like most about the pillow is that it’s easy to customize by moving some of the shredded foam around thus making it thinner or thicker in certain spots. It does a very good job of supporting my neck without any pressure points. Last night I had one of the best sleeps in the past 3 weeks.
Since I orginally posted about this pillow, Snuggle Pedic has made some significant updates to their product. This pillow is now fully washable, foam and all. I put this to the test and it really does wash well. If you do wash it make sure to wring out as much water from the pillow as possible before drying. The foam can hold lots of water which will increase drying time if you don’t get as much out as you can.
Here’s an unboxing and an overview of the Snuggle Pedic Pillow
The Snuggle Pedic Pillow is the highest rated pillow on Amazon right now and it doesn’t look like that is slowing down anytime soon. As for cost, it is relatively inexpensive when you consider the competitors out there that would sell a pillow similar to this for at least $100 plus shipping.
The Snuggle Pedic Pillow also has a 90 day refund guarantee. That means you can try it for 3 months and if you don’t like it return it via Amazon. Amazon has amazing customer service and it is super easy to return merchandise.
The Snuggle Pedic Pillow gets my highest rating for a pillow that you will come to rely on for a good night’s sleep it is also currently listed as an Amazon Choice pick.
Here’s some more technical information on the Snuggle Pedic Pillow and the company
Here’s a look at the inside filling of the pillow. Notice how it reacts when I squish it.
Here’s a photo of the zipper system and fill inside the pillow.
What sets the Snuggle Pedic pillow apart from the rest of the shredded memory foam pillow competition is that if you find the pillow to have too much or too little fill, you can send it back to the company and they will adjust it for you. Having a pillow where you can adjust the amount of loft is extremely valuable. There may be times where you want a thinner or thicker pillow depending on how you feel or if you suffer from an injury. This pillow gives you that flexibility. It is also one of few foam pillows that are actually washable.
I really enjoy my Snuggle Pedic. The quality is definitely there and you should get many years of high quality sleep you of it.
