I purchased a deluxe and classic pillow along with a mattress protector for my Mum who is now in a care home after breaking her femur then fracturing her shoulder September 2014 and now suffers from post trauma delirium classed similar to dementia. She was waking up on average 14 - 20 times during the night according to night staff. After now having the above this has greatly reduced to 6 - 9 and hopefully will go down further. Her heels were also in an awful mess from being in bed so long. I have asked the care home to place the deluxe pillow (half the wool taken out) under her ankles at night. They are both showing improvement. I also bought 2 deluxe pillows for myself and husband. He sweats a lot around the neck and head in bed. You could see the sweat marks on the pillowcase within a few days never mind the staining to pillows themselves eventually. I now change his pillowcase with the rest of bedding once weekly and there are no stains or sweaty smells from the pillowcase. I am also having a more comfortable sleep which I put down to the pillows. Would highly recommend. More expensive - yes - but will prove to be no more expensive in the end and anyway you can't put a price on this kind of comfort. zzzzzzz!
