The Big Picture by Lennie Peterson for August 01, 2020

I have found the Homedics pillow to be the best. Microbeads in four chambers allow for support of head and neck. I am a side sleeper and tend to keep to one position at night.or at least that’s what I am told. I have tried other pillows, but this is the best so far for me, been going strong for 12+ years.

Appreciate that birthday greeting, too, Lennie. How dare F.S. Key write a poem about hirelings and slaves!? No wonder his statue was defaced. [I wonder how long until a statue of MLKjr gets demolished…]

I doubt if either one of those mattresses costs more than two thousand dollars. You can afford that, can’t you?

Wait. For you guys or a cat bed for Homeslice?

Or, how about something between a rock and a hard place?

One of the most frustrating chores in the world, every mattress gives you 10 reasons why it’s better than the other 399. Read Consumer Reports tests.

Even a simple thing like a pillow is very complicated these days.

I have two feather pillows that are over fifty years old and still in great shape.

Deep sigh. The jellybean jar.

Get one of each. Try them a few nights, trade, then decide. The extra is for Homeslice.

Re mattresses, I’ll wait till my new legacy-company American-made one arrives before I comment on it—it’s supposedly on a truck on its way from New Jersey to California. Consumer Reports had highest ratings on three of theirs and we bought their best and all we can do now is hope. Re pillows, there is only one choice: a Talaley-processed latex one, of whatever height or firmness you prefer. Mine has a ten year warranty, and who ever heard of a pillow with a warranty? It is so very comfortable. Highly recommended.

My Pillow anyone?
