It was only after a trip to America I realised how uncomfortable my pillows were, it becomes one of those things you are so used to you don’t even notice until you have something to compare it to, in the US, in every hotel we stayed in, even the skankiest motel they seemed to have the softest pillows and no less than about eight per bed (I’m not sure how many people they expect to share a bed), on my return it felt like my pillow was stuffed with rocks.

With a name like Comfort Pillow Cloud I had high expectations for this pillow from Tempur, designed in the familiar rectangular style it was a little larger than my old pillows at 74cm x 50cm but will still fit inside a standard pillow case and it is constructed from 98% polyester and 2% elastane. This cloud is filled with Tempur Extra-Soft micro-cushions which feel incredibly soft when you lay your head on it but at the same time provides you with support once you are in position. There is a cover on the pillow that can be removed and washed at 60°C, this is a great feature as most people don’t wash the pillows enough and if you think about all the sweat, natural oils, hair product, make up and skin products that come into contact with your pillow, it really needs washing regularly.

You cannot wash the actual inner pillow as it will cause damage but with the Tempur cover and your own pillow case the pillow shouldn’t need cleaning, the covers are quick drying, but we would love to see an additional case included for when you do the laundry, they are available separately but will set you back £30 for one. The cover has two different textures on either side, one smooth and the other with soft bobbles on, daily “fluffing and puffing” (technical term) is advised to maintain the product and it comes with a 3year guarantee. This pillow was pure bliss, I didn’t think I would ever consider it value for money, but it was so comfortable, the perfect combination of softness and support, it also regulated temperature well and held its shape , the only issue now is when I go away no pillow will be able to compete.
