I always had back problems, and becoming a Mom of twins at a ripe old age hasn't exactly helped. So anyway, about every six months or so, I start getting all out of alignment. That's when I go pillow shopping, because for me, it's all about neck support. The reason I'm writing this today is because I've discovered something exciting: Bed Bath & Beyond and Linens n' Things will apparently take back any pillow.
They don't seem to care how long you've had it, how long you've been sleeping on it, or what kind of condition it's in when you bring it back. If you're like me, this is a big deal. I always have to try out 5 ot 6 pillows before I find one that's right. And premium pillow makers like Tempur-Pedic, have a no return policy, since "pillows are very personal items,'' according to the Web site.
Exactly. That's why I've been so surprised by BBB and Linens. They didn't bat an eye yesterday when I brought in an Eddie Bauer pillow I'd been sleeping on for three weeks. I had no receipt, but they let me exchange it for a different pillow, and I even got to use a 20 percent off coupon.
I let the girls get little piggy flashlights with the difference.
