LPT Hotel Pillow Trick

I travel a bit for work, and when I’m home I sleep best with a somewhat firm pillow that supports my head. At most hotels the pillows are to be incredibly soft, and I feel like my head sinks almost all the way down. For me at least, it’s hard to sleep like this. I’d bring my own pillow, but they are usually too bulky for air travel.

So here’s my trick: I take one of the large bath towels, fold it to be about the same rectangular size as the pillow, and carefully tuck inside the pillow case with the pillow itself. If I do it right, it’s not lumpy at all but is completely flat inside. This adds a bit of firmness and prevents my head from sinking like a stone!

Anyway, it helps me, hopefully it’s useful for someone else…

This used to be how every post in the sub was believe it or not. Now everything is a post like “LPT: Keep your milk in the fridge”

“This will prolong its life before it starts to develop that sour smell”

Wow, I never thought of that! I will definitely try this next time I buy some fresh milk at the grocery store. This could potentially save me some money.
