Memory Comfort

After years of computer use and sitting behind desks, I have often suffered from neck pain, despite attending ergonomic classes and discussions, as well as purchasing where appropriate items that help reduced the risk of prolonged usage of a computer.

In the past I have purchased a wireless mouse that is practically molded to the shape of my hand by mouse designers Logitech, and I spent a lot of money on a Microsoft ‘Gull-Wing’ split key ergonomic keyboard (which my new employer will not allow me to use in the office!). And I concluded that as well as being great products, they are extremely effective for long periods of use and brilliantly designed in my opinion.

More recently, to solve the problem of the neck pain, I put a lot of research into memory foam pillows and eventually decided upon the 'Original Tempur' pillow as being the best option to chose to alleviate this problem. It provides the most comfort for your neck, thanks in large to the ridge at the bottom of the pillow which elevates your neck and spine to stay straight when lying on your side. As an added bonus the pillow also moulds around your head and shoulder to provide comfort and stability.

It’s a fantastic design and extremely effective - I never thought I would have this much praise for a pillow, but when its designed and endorsed by NASA you come to realise that it is very special indeed and more than just a pillow.
