KEEPING AMERICA ON TOP: WHOM YOU KNOW CELEBRATES AMERICAN STYLE INTELLIGENCE and EXCELLENCE WITH THE PILLOW BAR! The Dr. Mary Side Sleeper is Recommended by Whom You Know.




Eating and sleeping are activities that everyone has in common.
If you are busy with everything else in your life, sooner or later you will need to eat and sleep, and how you do it makes all the difference!  When you put quality in, you can expect quality out in your daily life.  Our editorials focused on cuisine have a wide audience, and when you are well-fed, you also want to be well-rested.   Getting the right amount of quality sleep is essential to a great life, and not getting the proper sleep is also detrimental to your health.  Not all pillows are created equally, and if you are a side sleeper, you need the proper pillow to support your spine and body overall.   We want you to know about the Dr. Mary Side Sleeper by The Pillow Bar, made in the USA, if you sleep on your side!

This brand was first featured for its amazing down standard pillow:
If you've seen Peachy recently, she is well-rested from trying out these fantastic pillows. What makes them better? Listen to the Founder & CEO: Merrimac Dillon:

The Pillow Bar, a free-standing kiosk that allows customers to custom fill down sleeping pillows, has teamed up with renowned Dallas 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 650 fill power Hungarian goose down precisely to the customer’s preference. 

This 45”x 13.75” 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 offers the recognized luxury of cotton sateen ticking as well as a custom monogram and an aromatic sachet. A custom pillow case is also available, which you should order as this is a unique size. 

Dr. Mary Collings, a practicing Chiropractor since 1993, initially located her practice in Dallas.   Enjoying great success, 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 Mavericks, 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.” 

Customers can purchase the Dr. Mary Side Sleeper in two different densities to match their physical size. Over 5’6” or anyone with broader shoulders should try the “medium/large” size Dr. Mary Side Sleeper. For those who are petite or who have slight build and smaller shoulders, they should consider the “petite/small” which is the one we tried. Both pillows are the same physical size and use the same pillow case; the petite/small just has less density of fill. 

The Pillow Bar pillows include an embroidered monogram and choice of aromatic sachet. Gift Certificates are available.   If you got up too early on a Monday, or if it's a total Monday already for you, go back to bed.  Use the right pillow for you!  The Dr. Mary Side Sleeper by The Pillow Bar is Recommended by Whom You Know.
