**CONTEST CLOSED**
I stopped in the brand new Essentia Store in Cherry Creek (250 Fillmore St., Denver, CO (720) 941-6300 – Directions) and was greeted by a very simple store that has pillows, mattresses, and not much else. Mattresses for babies, pets and adults, of course, but just mattresses and pillows.
Essentia is a Canadian-brand that sells organic natural foam mattresses and pillows, so the store was pretty much spot on—not promising items they don’t sell. I heard the information about the brand; the softness factor, the theory behind the creation of this unique mattress, the eco-friendly procedures of the company, OH . . and that a pillow costs $199 and weighs 5 pounds!
I was so intrigued by such a heavy, $200 pillow, I couldn’t wait to test it out. It was in my bed with me by 9:30 pm. By morning, it was already on my husband’s side right under his chin. Each night, I start off with the pillow and he continues to take it once I fall asleep. I suppose it might be worth $400 so you don’t fight it out with the significant other for the pillow, it’s really that nice. Conforms well and offers great neck support.
Essentia is all about what Colorado believes in: healthy, natural living. It’s a great addition to Cherry Creekand I highly recommend keeping a jar and placing $1 in it for every really bad night’s sleep. It might add up to an Essentia pillow sooner than later.
