Lifestyle – Brentwood Home Pillow Review!
Getting your beauty sleep is SO important. It’s not just about looking rested – it’s about keeping yourself from killing people who look at you funny in the Trader Joe’s line when you haven’t had enough sleep. I think you guys feel me on this.
I’m SUPER picky when it comes to pillows. Not on purpose really. I just have a lot of neck pain, and I have had the hardest time finding pillows that work. I’ve tried $5 pillows and $200 pillows, and everything in between. When Brentwood Home reached out to me, I figured I’d try their pillows – give em a shot. But, wow – did I get lucky – these pillows are SO great!
Brentwood Home sells mattresses, pillows, baby beds and pet beds that are easily shipped directly to your house. They vacuum seal everything, so it ships in much smaller boxes than you’d think. Their pillow collection has memory foam, gel and latex. You can get standard, large size, wedges, and even a meditation pillow! The prices range from $25 – $69 per pillow.
I tried the Helena Latex Pillows ($69) and the Carmel Latex Pillows ($69). I didn’t quite know what to expect, because latex pillows were new to me. The Helena pillow is squishier and definitely my favorite. I’m mainly a side sleeper, so this was perfect. The problem I have with most pillows, is that they prop my neck up too high, which causes me to wake up with a major pain in the neck (and usually a nice headache to go along with it). I have had the opposite problem with faux down – not ENOUGH neck support also hurts my neck. I know – I’m like Goldilocks over here! The Helena pillow is made with shredded latex and kapok fibers (pesticide-free, Eco-Institut certified), which can be molded to fit your neck/head. You can even remove some of the insides if it’s too plush for you. It takes a little fluffing up before bed sometimes, and I find that after a few nights, I need to flip it over, but overall I am THRILLED!
The Carmel pillow is also made with shredded latex, but it’s much more firm. If you’re a back sleeper, this will be your JAM! You don’t have to fluff this one – it’s formed into a traditional pillow shape. It’s so nice, I think I’ll bring it to my eyelash extensions sessions, since I have to be on my back for an hour and a half each time I get them done! I also really want to try the Aliso Feathered Gel Pillow – that one looks like my style too!
All Brentwood Home pillows are non-toxic, vegan (no goose down) and come with a 100% organic cotton cover. If you need to clean them, just spot clean with a wet cloth (don’t use bleach) and air dry. My sheets are never ironed (I bow down to you if you have time to do that!), but my bed is comfy and cozy and one of my favorite places to be! Use code OURHOME 10% Brentwood Home Coupon!
I’m most excited about the Helena pillows as I’m a side sleeper too!
I literally just got rid of some older pillows and am wondering what to get! I would love to win these! We’ve been experiencing a lot of allergy issues and we sleep on different sides so the two types would be perfect!
I’ve been finding it difficult to get comfortable on my pillows, so I think I’m excited JUST to try these. *Crossing my fingers* 🙂
I like the Helena pillow.
That Helena pillow sounds perfect for me. I am a side sleeper and haven’t found the perfect pillow to support my neck but this seems like my Cinderella pillow: perfect fit.
All of the pillows sound amazing! I’ve had the same problem with pillows! I still switch mine out frequently. I’d like the latex best I believe!! Thanks!!
Thanks for the opportunity:)
I’m a side sleeper, would love to try Helena! And my boyfriend likes firm pillows so Carmel would be perfectly for him.. ?
I often wake up with headaches and can’t find a pillow to help. The Helena sounds amazing! Thanks for the chance!
I bought my husband a $50 pillow for Christmas 2015 and it was too stiff for him. So this last Christmas 2016 I bought him another $50 pillow and got one for myself. He still using his but he still wakes up kinda stiff from his neck. I don’t know if it’s due to him having tendinitis on his shoulder or just the hard labor he does during the day since he is a construction worker. So I’d love the Carmel pillow for him. However I’m a side sleeper and I’d love to win the Helena pillow because the one I bought I’m not even using it because it’s too stiff for me.
the helena pillow looks great! excited to try that one
My fave is the Helena pillow as well. I’m a side sleeper as you so it would be perfect for a good night of sleep.

hard to say which i like better, i like the Carmel because it is harder however, i am a side or stomach sleeper so i think the Helena would be better for me, since i roll up the sides of my pillow.
Thank You So Very Much Jen for This Aah-mazing Brentwood Home Pillow Giveaway, I Really Do Appreciate it! I Have Been Looking for a Good Pillow for the Past Few Years So This is So Perfect to Me! I Have One Good Pillow That Got a Few Years Back and it Was Awesome but I Have Had it So Long and it’s Losing it’s Fluff! I Have Looked Everywhere for That Pillow but I Can’t Find it Anywhere, Not Even Online! I Have Horrible Chronic Pain b/c I Was in a Bad Motorcycle Accident a Few Years Ago and I Now Have Bulging & Herniated Discs in My Neck Along with Fibromyalgia & Arthritis Too So I’m in Constant Pain! I Would Really Be So Grateful to Win b/c I’m Not Currently Able to Work So I Can’t Really Afford to Buy New Pillows! I Tell You What, When You Are Broke or On a Major Budget You Sure Become Much More Appreciative & Grateful for Things & Grateful for People That Help You During That Difficult Time! Both of These Pillows Sound Just Awesome and I Would Be Just Grateful to Receive One Much Less Four of These Incredible Pillows! They Both Sound Amazing but I Sleep On My Back and I Have Such Bad Neck Pain So I Think the Helena Pillow Would Be Perfect for Me b/c it’s Soft and it Molds to Your Head & Neck Shape! Well Thanks Again So Much for This Chance, I Really & Truly Appreciate it! Have a Blessed Day Jenn! – Jana

Hi Beauty Bunny
These pillows look and sound fantastic. I have tried a Brentwood bamboo mattress and they are superb to sleep on, so the pillows will not be any different.
I’m a side sleeper so the Helena pillow sounds great!
I would love to try the Helena pillows.
I’m excited to win the Carmel.
I would be most excited to win the Helena pillow based on your review. I always sleep on my side and it’s usually fine, but I’ve had that pain in the neck leading to a headache when I didn’t sleep right a few times and it is not at all pleasant!
I agree with you. I want to try the Aliso Feathered Gel Pillow.
I would be most excited to try the Helena Latex pillows.
I’m most excited about the Helena pillows.
I’d like the caramel pillow most!
I like the Aliso Feathered Gel Pillow
I have such a time with pillows because of my neck. The Helena pillow sounds perfect for me
Your bed looks so nice and inviting!!
I am a side sleeper and made a plan to buy Helena pillow.
I wonder if Tthe Carmel pillow might be best for me. I am an awful snorer so I think the firmness could help. Does it also stay fairly cool throughout the night? There is nothing worse than a super hot pillow keeping you up at night after you wake yourself up from a massive snoring attack!
Thanks for the reviews!
The helena pillow looks awesome! im very excited to try that one.
Personally, I’m having the hardest time finding the right pillow. It either feels like a rock or I wake up and realize that my head is hanging and the muscle in my neck are in a a spasm. The best part is I work with a company/website that deals with sleep-related stuff, so it’s kind of embarrassing to admit that I don’t yet know what’s right for me.
I did try latex but they make them to slim for my taste…
Anyway, the Helena seems interesting…lofty, I haven’t looked into that one yet and will probably give it a try…one more can’t hurt (pun intended) since I already went through about a dozen and most of my friends and family are now sleeping on pillows that I got and ended up being a no-go.
Thanks for sharing this
Wow, these products sound amazing. I am also picky about the pillows I use. They’re always either too firm or too soft forcing me to sleep in pretzel twists and weird positions so as to either fall asleep or sleep semi-comfortably. I can’t wait to try one of these beauties out!
