Lagoon


Changing your pillow to something customized to your sleep
position, firmness, and one that can keep you cool can have a
dramatic impact on your sleep quality. 


When I switched to the Lagoon pillow, my average number of times
waking dropped to 2 per night and my deep sleep increased by 45
minutes. I’ve noticed a huge difference in how I feel in the
morning, often waking up 30 to 45 minutes before my alarm and not
feeling tired.


If you want to see the dramatic effect a pillow designed just for
you can be, head to lagoonsleep.com/top. If you use the code TOP
