Chez Peachy: SHEEX® Down Alternative Side Sleeper Performance Pillow Highly Recommended by the Superb Sleepers of Whom You Know
If you think Peachy Deegan has been in a better mood lately, it is because she is getting higher quality sleep thanks to SHEEX! Peachy is one person that cannot have her sleep interfered with...but when it is improved upon, great things will happen to everyone that crosses her path. (Well, perhaps almost everyone!) We love United Feather and Down and as you'll remember we celebrated our 11,000th post with them, and we love their American-made products. We could not be more thrilled to tell you about their latest and greatest development, SHEEX! Our superb sleepers rave:
I take my pillows pretty seriously. I usually sleep with one pillow on either side of me so I have one to snuggle into no matter which side I’m laying on. I replaced one of my pillows with the Sheex Performance Pillow, and have been using it for about a week now. The Sheex Performance Pillow is the most comfortable pillow I’ve ever used. I no longer want to turn from one side to the other when I sleep because I just want to enjoy the Sheex pillow side! I went out of town over the weekend, and brought this pillow with me. Getting out of town for a few days combined with this pillow resulted in two of the best nights of sleep I can remember in a long time. I simply slept soundly and comfortably through the night. The Sheex technology is impressive as well. The texture of the pillow is fantastic. The fill retains its shape while having just the right amount of give to cradle your head comfortably. An added bonus of this pillow is it’s made in the USA, so you can rest in comfort knowing you’re supporting American technology and manufacturing as well.
I am a sucker for an awesome pillow. I am on my feet all day for work and then I come home and grade papers. By the time I am ready for bed, I am exhausted. Sometimes I wake up still exhausted because I've tossed and turned during the night. With the Sheex pillow, I woke up more refreshed and rested than I have in a long time. Because I've felt more rested, I had several friends mention that I look more relaxed and want to know what I've been doing. I told them about this wonderful pillow and couldn't say enough good things about it. I've tried other back and stomach sleeper pillows and have been disappointed because they lost their shape pretty quickly. Not this pillow. I found it bounced back and kept its shape. If you are looking for the best nights sleep you've had in a long time, you need this pillow. I know the next pillow I buy will be a Sheex Pillow!
This pillow offers the comfort I want with added head and neck support. As a sleeper that moves from stomach to side to back, I was comfortable in all three positions since this pillow offers the perfect amount of softness. This pillow provided enough support for my neck and shoulders to get a restful nights sleep without any soreness upon waking which is unusual for me as a highly active adult! Living in a warm climate, I can get very warm at night. I woke up with a cool head and neck which is almost unheard of with any type of pillow! My first night using this pillow was after 3 days of skiing and plenty of muscle soreness. I woke up with zero shoulder, neck, or upper back pain! My head fit perfectly on this pillow for a great nights sleep! I wish I had this pillow during my pregnancy as it rests nicely under my stomach while sleeping on my side! I love that this brand new pillow has no odor, unlike the Tempur-Pedic pillows. I had my first two nights of undisturbed sleep in over three months using the Sheex pillow! As a former athlete with many leftover aches and pains comfort is crucial! My head literally melted into the pillow and I was asleep within five minutes! I was so comfortable and cool I will not go back to using any of the six pillows I currently have on my bed! My husband used it to nap and was most impressed by how cool his head and neck felt. He always sweats while sleeping and woke up completely dry! I have lower back pain as well and this pillow works great between your knees for lower back support with just the right amount of thickness to relieve back pressure without adding warmth!

"Five years ago, I wouldn't have thought of putting our athletes in anything but cotton. But today, elite athletes wear only the latest performance fabrics because of the fabrics' breathability and softness, as well as their moisture and temperature control. It makes perfect sense to introduce the finest of these fabrics to bedding."

A consummate competitor, Michelle stepped into the coaching arena in 2003 as an assistant coach to Susan Walvius at the University of South Carolina. While at South Carolina, Michelle inked back-to-back top 10 nationally ranked recruiting classes.
"I'm a fitness fanatic. I fell in love with the latest technology in athletic wear several years ago and wouldn't think about wearing cotton on a run today. I've tried all the latest fabrics, and the fabric we have chosen for SHEEX is the top of the line. Now that we have incorporated the fabric into our luxurious bed sheets, I wouldn't want anything else on my bed."
