A new mother tests Emma Sleep’s £59 Adapt Pillow, which uses three removable foam layers to accommodate side, back and stomach sleepers. After a week of use, she reports better sleep, faster returns to sleep after night feeds and relief from neck and shoulder pain. The pillow is praised for its customisable height and firmness, though it initially felt unusually firm and had a chemical memory-foam smell that required airing. Simba’s £159 CustomFlex and Silentnight’s £32 adjustable pillow are offered as alternatives.

Nicole Carter, a 26-year-old NHS worker from Staffordshire who has lived with severe psoriasis since adolescence, says PSOregon Maintenance Cream reduced her pain, dryness and visible symptoms within weeks, with most of her psoriasis reportedly gone after two months. The £10.95 cream is marketed as a daily moisturiser that hydrates skin, supports the skin barrier and reduces redness, with Oregon grape root as a key ingredient. The article contrasts it with emollients and prescription steroid treatments and cites mostly positive customer reviews, while noting that results vary and that one user found the product only a reasonable moisturiser.
