Hi, I’m Simone, co-founder of Pillow Pod 🐨☁️
June is Scoliosis Awareness Month, a time that means a lot to me personally. I was diagnosed with severe scoliosis at 12 and had spinal fusion surgery the next year. My spine is fused from T2 to L3 with two titanium rods and 27 screws. It changed so much about my daily life, especially how I sleep.
After surgery, sleep became my biggest challenge. Lying flat was too painful, so I spent months on the couch trying to get comfortable on my side. I’d stay awake for hours, exhausted but unable to rest. That experience never left me.
Years later, I turned that pain into purpose. I co-founded Pillow Pod to help others find comfort at night. Since then, over 20,000 people have found relief with our pillows. Whether you’re living with scoliosis, chronic pain, or just need better support, the Pillow Pod can help 💕
Today, my mission is to normalise sleep supports for everyone. There’s no shame in needing extra help to get comfortable. We all deserve restful sleep, and prioritising healthy sleep posture should be something we talk about more often.
If you’ve ever felt alone in your sleep struggles, I see you. I’ve been there, and the Pillow Pod was created for you 💌
