(music) - Did you know that
the average person will sleep 1/3 of their life?
So imagine, at the age of 75, you would have slept
approximately 25 years.
And even with that stunning number, approximately
30% of American adults sleep less than the recommended
seven hours per day.
And here's another point, 27% have trouble falling
asleep or staying asleep.
Is that you?
Can we talk?
Can you relate?
And did you know that your problem could be your pillow?
Hmm.
So here this morning, to talk about this is chiropractor
Doctor Jerry, and Anthony DeMore, from Enduring Wellness,
creator of the Comfort Adjust Pillow.
Welcome to both of you.
- Thanks for having us.
- Thanks for having us here.
- All right, Anthony, I'm gonna start with you,
because, as I was reading that, I saw you going, Mmhm, yeah.
You can relate.
- Absolutely.
I have noticed myself that I was waking up more
and more with neck pain, or just not feeling
rested when I woke up in the morning.
And I thought it was my mattress.
And I went through the process of researching
different mattresses, going and trying them out.
- I did that too.
- And I bought a pretty expensive mattress.
- I bought one.
I could say it was about, oh boy, seven
eight thousand dollars.
Ridiculous.
- Yes, a lot of money.
- [Olga] A lot.
- And for that kind of money, I'm still waking
up kind of feeling unrested, right, and a little
bit, some pain, some stiffness.
And I realized that it was the pillow.
- [Olga] There you go.
And Doctor Jerry, how many of your patients come in
and tell you I'm not sleeping well, I'm frustrated.
I mean, you're a chiropractor.
PCPC, internal medicine, this is a problem.
- This is a big problem.
Patients having neck pain.
You buy the mattress, and you think
it's gonna, it's not gonna help your neck,
but it will help your back to some degree.
So, getting the right pillow is important
to get a full night's sleep.
- And we need that full night of sleep, 'cause
we're gonna talk about the pillow now, because
it can lead to health problems.
I mean, people can get major illness because
of lack of sleep.
- [Doctor] Sure, your immune system becomes compromised.
When it becomes compromised, you get sick,
you don't get good night's sleep, you have problems
with the muscles restoring, it's a bad problem.
- [Olga] All right, so how did you go about then finding
a pillow for you?
- So what I did is I went out and I started purchasing
pillows and trying them for a few nights, taking
them back, not finding what I was looking for.
- So after all the experiments, and all the money you
wasted, you actually found a pillow you liked.
- So I didn't find this pillow, I actually created it.
- Oh, you created this.
- I created it and it's changed my life.
We found that memory foam is really what keeps
your head in that right position all night.
- Okay.
- The idea here is that this pillow is
designed for a back and side sleeper.
- Okay, so I sleep on my left side.
- Yep.
- That would be fine for me-- - Yep.
- Than someone on their back.
- Absolutely, so you're looking at the back sleeper side.
So the person would lay their neck over this area
and put their head here.
- Okay, and why is-- - We have a special
fabric here, that helps the head rest and then
reach that pillow, so that it's in
perfect position.
- Okay.
- And if you're a hybrid sleeper, back and side sleeper,
you can start on your back, and then maybe
like you said, you roll over on your left side,
you roll over to here.
- Now, why is there an adjustment?
Where is the adjustment here?
- So that's the great part about the Comfort Adjust Pillow.
We have a secret inside, and that's this
integrated neck roll.
So we've got a foam neck roll in here that is held
in place perfectly, all night, and the idea here
is that this is a foam support with two different
kinds of foam, you have a softer foam and a firmer
foam, and then you use this dial to select
your level of comfort that you want
to feel and support.
- So this runs throughout the pillow.
- Runs throughout the pillow.
- I could pull it out.
- Yeah.
- And I could decide one night whether I want to use
the soft, which is the blue side, or the firm
which is the white side.
- Yes.
- That's interesting.
- Doctor let me bring you in, in terms of how
this is so wonderful for, I guess an individual.
- This is a great pillow.
I like that it cradles your head when you're on your back.
And as he said, if you turn to one side or the other
it's supporting you.
You can also turn this around, and if you're a side
sleeper, all night long you can roll side to side
and it's not a problem at all.
And I wanted this for my patients for years.
This added feature here is nice.
You can put it in, increases what we call
the lordosis of the neck.
And that is important for the integrity of the spine.
It should have a banana-like curve.
- And is it okay to decide maybe on a Monday that you
want to use the soft side and then maybe on a Thursday
you say I need a little bit firmer?
- [Doctor] Absolutely, because the support
is the support, period.
On those other expensive pillows, when you lie on them
they just flatten.
This doesn't let it flatten.
- And that's okay for the neck, you're not going
to hurt yourself or anything?
- Absolutely, because the integrity of
that pillow is intact.
- And it's your comfort.
- How has it changed your life?
- Well, the first night that I tried it,
when I finally got a prototype, I remember
waking up in the same position I fell asleep,
so I didn't toss and turn at any time.
- That's fantastic.
And Doctor, I want to talk about something that I'm
hearing about more and more, which is 'tech neck'
I think it's that motion right here, that you're
on your phone, on the computer, and people
are developing-- - Correct.
- This could actually help.
- Absolutely, because what it's doing is counteracting
what all these people are doing during the day.
By counteracting it, it's giving the normal integrity
of the lordotic spine for the neck.
- Aren't you glad you went through all those problems?
- Absolutely.
- Yeah, you came up with a great solution.
- Thank you so much.
- Thank you.
