PILLOW
SuppliedThe Groove pillow is designed to reduce neck and back pain and improve posture[/caption]
THE Groove pillow is a memory foam one designed to reduce neck and back pain, improve posture and eliminate stiffness – all while you get some shut eye.
The ergonomic groove keeps your spine correctly aligned and the pillow is designed with an underhang so that your shoulders can rest comfortably when sleeping on your back.
The pillow is also an effective aid for conditions including arthritis, fibromyalgia, sciatica and whiplash.
It’s incredibly comfortable and while I’m not a huge fan of memory foam, it gave me a brilliant night’s sleep.

THE Sleep SOS pillow spray from the Drowsy Sleep Company smells amazing.
This synthetic-free spray is a mix of bergamot, lavender, geranium, ylang ylang, vetiver, cedarwood and patchouli.
They smell heavenly together.
I adore this spray and now spritz it onto my pillow 15 minutes before I get into bed.
Unlike some other products, this fragrance lasts for hours and it helps to make your bedroom smell like a fancy spa or hotel.
Most importantly, I definitely sleep better after using it.
