One day, as a heavy side sleeper I noticed vertical wrinkles on my face. I went for a new round of fillers to my cosmetologist and discovered that the vertical lines were sleep wrinkles from sleeping on my side and squishing my face every night. I also learned that fillers or Botox would not be effective against sleep wrinkles unless I would change the way I slept. But it does nothing against skin deformation and twisting when sleeping on the side or stomach.
An average female head weighs around 5kg and all that weight presses face skin against the pillow. Botox cannot stop that from happening every night. The idea occurred to me — what if there would be a pillow for side-sleepers, which would minimize skin indentation and yet be comfy during sleep? The alternatives on the market were not up to my standards. Some beauty pillows were just too uncomfortable to sleep on and did not respect orthopaedic principles of correct sleep positioning.
There is also a big hype about silk pillowcases and their anti-aging benefits. It is true that they may help reduce skin friction against the pillowcase fabric. However, a female head weighs around 5kg and if a lady sleeps on the side or stomach no pillowcase, even the silk one, can stop gravitation and skin deformation.
