What is a Comfort Pillow?
A comfort pillow is a pillow which is designed to provide comfort, making it easier for someone to sit, sleep, or engage in other activities. In addition to offering comfort to their users, most comfort pillows also provide support, since proper support is often a key aspect of comfort. Many stores which stock bedding carry comfort pillows, and they can also be obtained through stores which specialize in ergonomic products. Sometimes the best comfort pillow is once picked up in the bargain bin at a department store which happens to be just the right size and texture, while in other cases, it may be necessary to buy a specialized pillow. Comfort can be very important, especially during sleep. People tend to sleep better when they feel comfortable and secure, and everyone has different comfort needs. Some people, for example, like to sleep in a nest of pillows which makes them feel surrounded and cradled, while others prefer to use a set of head pillows alone to support the neck and head
It’s a small, soft, washable pillow a patient can place between her body and arm to relieve discomfort. It can reduce the amount of pain and provide both physical and emotional comfort during treatment and recovery period. It can also be used in the car between you and your shoulder strap or while sleeping. How does the Project Work? GFWC Kitsap Peninsula, a non-profit community service organization, is making and distributing Comfort Pillows Free of charge. Anyone can request a pillow whether it be for themselves, a friend, or family member. (We are doing this along with the GFWC Mira Mesa Junior Women’s Club) What Can You Do to Help? Your help in spreading the word and expanding the project would be greatly appreciated. We need donations of (new) fabric and stuffing and/or money donations to help cover costs of fabric, stuffing, and shipping.
