Unusual Item Of The Day

This is an Hungarian goosedown, horseshoe shaped pillow designed by a Highland Park chiropractor for people who sleep on their sides. Sold at Peacock Alley and the Linen Boutique. Looks comfy, but someone needs to design a pillowcase that will fit it.

Dallas, TX, May 8, 2008 —The Pillow Bar, a free-standing kiosk that allows customers to custom fill down sleeping pillows, teams up with renowned Highland Park Chiropractor Dr. Mary Collings to design and introduce the “Dr. Mary Side Sleeper” pillow.

Only available at The Pillow Bar, the Dr. Mary Side Sleeper is a horseshoe shaped 300 thread count custom pillow filled with Hungarian goose down precisely to the customer’s preference. This 45”x 12” horseshoe shaped pillow allows side sleepers the comfort and long-term health benefits of total side support with the luxury and comfort of 100% goose down. And as with all Pillow Bar pillows, the Dr. Mary Side Sleeper will offer the recognized luxury of Cloud Nine brand luxury cotton ticking and down products as well as a custom monogram and an aromatic sachet.

Dr. Mary Collings a practicing Chiropractor since 1993 initially located her practice in a 4,000 square foot facility at Las Colinas. Enjoying great success, Collings recently opened a second location in Highland Park Village. Dr.Collings treats patients from every walk of life to include recreational golfers, children, to octogenarians and local super-star professional athletes. Because of her long-standing relationship with the Dallas Stars Hockey Team and many other professional athletes, Collings was named Sports Chiropractor of the Year in 2002 by the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians.

“This is a unique opportunity for me to partner with The Pillow Bar and really make a difference in people’s sleeping comfort and spine health. I designed this “Side Sleeper” pillow to alleviate many of the issues side sleepers deal with when they try to get comfortable. This unique design will allow the side sleeper to support their shoulder and neck without the traditional discomfort and awkwardness experienced with a traditionally shaped pillow. I am a big believer in the power of chiropractic and physical therapy to work hand-in-glove to produce a better result for patients,” Collings says. “This specialty custom pillow is just another cog in the wheel in offering a good multi-disciplinary practice for my patients to enjoy a higher quality of life.”

The Pillow Bar can be found in three Dallas locations. The Linen Boutique at 5600 Lovers Lane in Highland Park, Peacock Alley on Main Street in Southlake Town Square and at Mary Kate Erwin (to the trade only) in The Dallas Design District.
The Pillow Bar offers six sizes of sleep pillows; Standard (20”x26”), Queen (20”x30”), King (20”x36”), Dr. Mary Side Sleeper (45” x 12”), European Square/Dog Bed (26”x26”) and Boudoir/Travel (12”x16”). Customers are not restricted by fill weight, so they are able to fill their pillow to the loft that suits their individual comfort. The Pillow Bar pillows are priced by pillow size and includes an embroidered monogram and choice of aromatic sachet. Gift Certificates are available.
