You know, I travel, a lot. One of the perks of travel is being able to sleep in king sized hotel beds with six pillows to myself. Until the pillows aren’t of great quality and I’m stuck feeling as if I’m sleeping on cardboard. There have been several moments where I’ve considered taking Mr. Houseful up on his offer to buy me those hotel quality pillows for our bedroom. Except now I don’t have to. I received four pillows identified as the Sleep Wellness Bundle from Brentwood Home to review, and I can’t be happier!
I was sent two each of the Carmel and Helena brand pillows and they are so comfortable! The Carmel is the firmer of the two, and perfect for my needs in sleep. I do realize that I hog all of the pillows, and wouldn’t mind having four more of these for the bed. Of course, I need them to be king sized though so we can have pillowcases that are filled instead of floppy on the ends. No one wants floppy.
Here are a few specs on the Carmel pillow:
Made with 100% natural latex, the Carmel pillow is ideal for those in need of a firm, supportive foundation through the night. Fixed in a traditional pillow shape, the Carmel offers resilient support with a latex filling that bounces right back. The Carmel never requires fluffing, and healthy materials like 100% organic cotton and natural latex mean you can sleep safe and sound.
Key Features
- 100% Organic Cotton Cover
- Molded All-Natural Latex
- Traditional Pillow Shape
- Never Requires Fluffing
- Eco-institut Certified free of synthetic materials
The Helena pillow is fluffier, but still firm. It’s a great cuddling pillow, or one to put on top of the Carmel (or is that just how I sleep at night?) I love how sturdy it is, and the fact that my head doesn’t sink down to my bed while the down on the side puffs out.
The all-natural Helena pillow is the favorite among their most eco-friendly customers. Filled with a combination of 100% natural latex ribbons and silky-smooth kapok fibers, this pillow is both fluffy and supportive. With resilient latex responding to your movements through the night, the Helena is great for those who sleep in multiple positions. A zippered opening makes it easy to remove or add fill to your desired comfort level, and the 100% organic cotton cover and pesticide-free kapok mean you can sleep safe and sound.
Key Features
- 100% Organic Cotton Cover
- All Natural Kapok + Latex Blended Fill (Eco-Institut Certified)
- Zipper makes it easy to add or remove fill to adjust to the perfect size and firmness for your needs
- Eco-institut Certified free of synthetic materials
I knew that I was a lover of pillows when I was younger, but I didn’t realize how much I depend on a great pillow to make sure that I get a great night of sleep. Finding that I like firmer pillows, and mattresses has helped me know right away if I’m going to enjoy sleep while I’m out on travel, or on vacation. Now, I may have enough reason to just take my own pillows with me as back up.

I love a firm, but not hard pillow. I usually use 2 – one propped up at a slight angle and another on top of that so it’s bumped up a bit by the bottom one.

We have 2 king size pillows each from Ikea but they are very squishy now and I don’t feel like they support my head very well. I am a stomach sleeper/roller.

Terry says
One pillow is usually ideal for me and I like a soft pillow but have yet to find one that works.
Lynne B says
I like the kind of pillows you find in a good hotel – feather/down with med-firm support. It seems I’m always searching for a good quality pillow that I don’t have to take a loan out for. Thanks for the opportunity to win these luxury pillows.
Brenna says
My pillow has to be firm yet soft. I love nice thick pillows that I can stack if I want to sit up. Not too crazy about that bed(chair) recliner thingy because when I’m ready to sleep…I need a pillow(s).
Lynda (@MommyPowers) says
I like to sink into a mountain of fluffy pillows! 2 would be best, but I’ll take one good one if I have to.

Jessica Miller says
I use a firm pillow
Kim K says
I prefer a pillow that isn’t too firm or too soft. I think the helena pillow might be one that I’d like. I sleep with only one pillow
