So you are attending an upcoming wedding (or 12 if you are mid 20s-early 30s) and it’s time to buy your darling friends a gift a.k.a. check it off your to do list. If NIGHT Pillows™ are on the couple’s registry, they know what’s up and you should be the legit AF friend who makes their #sleepwithbenefits dream come true. If NIGHT Pillows™ are not on the couple’s registry, you have the opportunity to surprise them and crush your gift giving duties. Here’s why NIGHT Pillows™ make the perfect wedding gift.

HIS AND HERS

The best part about buying NIGHT Pillows™ for two is that you can mix and match three border designs. Consider opting for the stripe border for that classic, sophisticated bride and the woodgrain border for her rugged, handsome groom.  Rest assured the couple will never confuse whose pillow is whose, which means more pillow talk and less pillow fight.

BLACK FOR THE WIN

No matter what bedding style the couple chooses, NIGHT Pillows™ will be the perfect accent. The signature hue is always in style, looks good with everything and is advanced engineered to negate light promoting a deeper, more restorative sleep.

PICTURE PERFECT

Engagement. Shower. Rehearsal dinner. Wedding. Honeymoon. The photo opportunities never seem to end and the paparazzi situation is real. They both want to look their best because these pictures are keepers for-ev-er. Give them the gift of clear skin, healthy hair and deep beauty sleep.

THAT HONEYMOON PHASE THO

Most of us don’t wake up looking our best. In fact, 11% of women admit to regularly putting on makeup before their sleeping mate or significant other wakes up*. Maybe this is the case because their pillows suck. Newlyweds should blissfully wake up on NIGHT Pillows™ that support better skin and hair instead of worrying about morning shame, bed head and skin irritation.

NO REGRETS

With the purchase of NIGHT Pillows™ comes a 101 night no strings attached policy with free returns. With all of the deadlines and rushed decisions associated with wedding planning, it’s nice to know this is one gift they can ease into before committing.  

EVERY DAY THEY WILL THINK OF YOU

Because a china sugar bowl gets pulled out of the cabinet once every blue moon. Don’t be #basic -- give the gift that is used every single NIGHT : )

*Poshly, 2016

What size? Will she even use this? Does he like this color? We get it. There’s a lot to consider when shopping for that perfect gift. But this year you can kick back and enjoy the (spiked) eggnog because we have the answer all of your shopping struggles. The NIGHT Pillow™! Here’s why it is the perfect gift for every single person on your list:

ONE SIZE FITS ALL

People change sizes constantly, especially as the office cookie swaps start up around November 1^st. So don’t burden yourself trying to guess someone’s size (let alone insult him/her). Not only does the NIGHT Pillow™ always fit just right, but the foam is advanced engineered to self-adjust accommodating all sleep positions and providing universal comfort.

GENDER NEUTRAL

Men, women, extremely spoiled dogs…the NIGHT Pillow™’s incredible benefits work for everyone. We also have three tonal design options for the border of the pillow, so if you gift two pillows to a couple, they will be able to tell them apart…and you won’t be held responsible for a pillow fight.

ALWAYS APPROPRIATE

Whether you are looking for a gift for sweet grandma or a tinder date with future potential, a game-changing sleep product is a definite win. The NIGHT Pillow™ is a classic…but also keeps it real with a little flava. There’s a bedding angle, a beauty angle, and an all-around #treatyoself angle to be played here.

BLACK MATCHES EVERYTHING

“I don’t like the color black” – said no one ever. You don’t need to be Anna Wintour to understand the power of black to match absolutely everything. And the signature black hue not only looks super fresh, but negates light for a deeper, more restorative sleep.  

ALWAYS NEEDED

Besides your wedding registry and moving, how often do you update, or even think about, your bedding? Chances are you and everyone you know have neglected the average 2-3 year life span of a pillow and should be in the market for an upgrade. Gifting someone the NIGHT Pillow™ achieves that “you read my mind, I’ve been meaning to get a new pillow” status.

THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING

By gifting someone a NIGHT Pillow™, you are essentially providing them with a better night’s sleep and hydrated and healthy skin and hair. Hands down it cannot get better than that.

So get your gifting on! A NIGHT Pillow™ for YOU and YOU and YOU…

Congrats on getting in bed with NIGHT! You and your pillow are going to share a lot of awesome QT together (1/3 of your life actually). We guarantee NIGHT will treat you right, but here are five tips to get the most out of your experience:

1. Sleep directly on the custom TriSilk™ moisturizing pillowcase pre-assembled on your NIGHT Pillow™ to maximize the benefits. No additional pillowcase needed!
2. Avoid stacking other pillows above or below the NIGHT Pillow™. The height of the foam is engineered to be universally supportive.
3. Sleep freely. Don’t concern yourself with your “normal sleep position.” Fact is the average person changes position 2-36 times a night. The NIGHT Pillow™ is advanced engineered to self-adjust for the perfect comfort and support in every position.
4. Keep your sleep surface fresh—it’s so easy! The TriSilk™ moisturizing pillowcase is removable and machine washable. We recommend laundering it every other week or as needed. No need to worry about cleaning the self-adjusting memory foam core. It's hypoallergenic so stays so fresh and so clean without additional maintenance. 
5. Don’t be scared that your pillow doesn’t look like your grandma’s. Our MidNIGHT black hue actually negates light promoting a deeper more restorative rest. Trust us once you sleep black, you won’t go back J

Give it time! Remember we have a 101 night no strings attached policy. So take your time. We recommend sleeping with the pillow for at least 10 nights before drawing a conclusion. Enjoy your #sleepwithbenefits!

Our top priority at NIGHT HQ is bedroom satisfaction. So we take feedback from our very wise customers seriously. Since inception we’ve noticed a consistent theme in customer feedback that we like to refer to as the “wait for it.” It goes something (or exactly) like this:

“The first two nights I really didn’t like sleeping with the NIGHT Pillow™. Around night three, I started to feel neutral about it. From night five on, I can’t imagine sleeping with another pillow. I am totally OBSESSED.” – A real, very wise NIGHT customer

If you’ve ever made the leap to cleansing your face with a Clarisonic, brushing your teeth with an electric toothbrush or, for the most daring, using natural deodorant, you know the drill. There’s an adjustment period…but at the end of the day (or night)—these products change your life!

So, what is it that takes time getting used to for the NIGHT pillow? Here’s the deal:

1. Self-Adjusting Foam: Our proprietary oxygenated memory foam is advanced engineered to mold to the anatomy of your body and your comfort preference (i.e. what sleep positions you favor). But, it just needs a little time to get to know you first.
2. Highest Quality Silk: Our unique TriSilk™ pillowcase is made of the highest quality mulberry silk, previously used only for high-end couture and never before seen in the bedding industry. The custom-fit prevents slipping and bunching, a technique also new to bedding. There is no doubt— this is a different sleep surface experience than the #basic cotton pillow…and your hair and skin will thank you for that.

For these reasons, we recommend sleeping with the NIGHT Pillow™ for at least 10 nights before drawing a conclusion. And, don’t forget, we guarantee satisfaction with a 101 night no strings attached policy. So take your time! 

Don’t let your NIGHT Pillow™ be the one that got away…it’s worth the wait ; )
