PLUTO PILLOW UNBOXING

We’re switching things up today with a pillow unboxing. I don’t think I’ve ever done an unboxing on anything outside of fashion or beauty before which makes this a new one for me! To give you a quick backstory, I’ve been waking up a lot with neck pain lately. I figured that I was either straining my neck from reading/scrolling in bed or that I needed a new pillow. After talking about purchasing a new one, my thoughtful boyfriend ended up ordering me a custom-made pillow from a company called Pluto.

I had never heard of the brand before but JJ heard it mentioned on one of the podcasts he listens to. I think the entire process and concept is very cool (+ how cute is the packaging??). 

It's actually pretty smart to customize a pillow if you think about it. Before this one, I never had or even considered doing that. Pillows are always super tricky to find because we all have different sleeping patterns, bodies + preferences. When you make yours through Pluto, they have you fill out a questionnaire about your preferences and the qualities you like or wish you could change from your current pillow. You can choose attributes based on how you sleep, whether you get hot at night and if you prefer a soft, medium or firm level pillow. After ordering, it took about 2-3 weeks for them to make and ship the pillow. 

The box they packaged it in is really nice + fun too! I like the overall look + presentation. I was also pleasantly surprised to find an Air Head underneath the pillow, haha. Very cute marketing! 

I like a supportive pillow but one that still feels comfortable and not too hard. I ended up going for a medium level that is more on the plush side + fit for being a back sleeper. The pillow also feels like a really nice quality + the outside material is similar to the outside fabric you see on a lot of mattresses. I never saw any pictures so I was surprised by this! I like how nice it feels and that it's cooler to the touch, plushy and still supportive. It has a foam-like interior that has some give but springs back into place. 

From how it feels and sleeping on it for the first time last night, I think they nailed it. I slept comfortably and I didn’t wake up with any pain. I'm excited to keep trying it out + as always, I'll keep you posted on how it goes!
