Get Better Sleep With A Proper Pillow & DIY Lavender Pillow Spray
To make this spray you will need a 2oz or 4 oz glass spray bottle. You can order them for really cheap on Amazon
. Then just add a pinch of salt to the bottle first. Then add 10-15 drops of Lavender essential oil. Now top off your bottle with distilled water (purified water will work fine too!). Shake it a little to mix it up and you are ready to spritz your way to a more relaxing and restful sleep. It smells so good!
Another key to getting good rest is having the correct pillow. There is nothing worse than sleeping on a bad pillow. I personally struggle with neck alignment issues and I’ve had nights that I wake up after sleeping on the wrong kind of pillow and I can’t even turn my head because my neck is out of alignment and hitting a nerve. This is then followed by several chiropractor visits, applications of valor essential oil and ice. It’s terrible and I try to ensure that never happens by making sure I am sleeping on the best pillow I can. I love the Proper Pillow because it does exactly what I need, it aligns my spine perfectly so it stays in alignment and my neck and back don’t hurt in the morning.
If you suffer from spinal pain then I would definitely try the Proper Pillow. If you don’t have any history of back problems then I recommend trying the Proper Pillow now before you do! The Proper Pillow maintains the normal 20-40° cervical curve and is perfect for side or back sleepers. It also has a cooling layer which I love!

What tips do you use to get better sleep?
I’m in desperate need of a new pillow. I’m having a terrible time sleeping lately. I’ve heard of lavender remedy but haven’t found the oil here.
The proper pillow looks awesome. I have several old back injuries and can totally relate to the sleeping wrong causing a whole bunch of issues.I will definitely have to check it out- do you know where they’re available to purchase?
I bet that smells amazing. I love the smell of lavender and I definitely want to try this.
I’ve never seen a pillow like this…looks very interesting. I am kind of a pillow snob and have trouble sleeping in hotels if I can’t figure out the pillow situation. Silly, I know. I have a lavender neck pillow I use when I am really stressed…love this idea of a pillow spray!
This would definitely make me sleep well. When I used Lavender for anything, especially bath wash, it immediately has a calming effect on me. Thank you so much for sharing.
I could really use a pillow like this. I love lavender so I will be trying that mist.
I do have trouble sleeping on certain pillow, especially in hotels. That proper pillow sounds like it would help a lot.
A friend of mine told me about a lavender spray coz I can’t easily fall asleep. I definitely need to find a lavender mist so I can try it.
I need to check this out! With all the time zone hoping we do it can be hard to get to sleep sometimes!
I so agree with having a proper pillow, the one I have currently is not the best and since I am moving soon I am thinking of getting a proper one. I hear a lot that lavender helps people fall asleep quickly. I am yet to try it myself
This may be a silly question but why do you add salt? Thanks! I am going to try a pillow mist. I love Valor and it’s my favorite of all of them and I do have neck issues! I could really use a good pillow that keeps my cervical vertebrae aligned! I am going to check this out. Thanks!
Not a silly question at all! The salt is necessary because oil does not mix with water. The oil would just float at the top of the bottle if there wasn’t salt added.
I was wondering the same thing – this is the only recipe I have seen with salt so i was curious, but you are so right! makes so much sense!
I hope you love it 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
I love this DIY Pillow Spray. I normally end up buying mine but I’m so going to try making it now.
I love this idea of making your own pillow spray!! How cool is that!! Thanks for posting!
Ahhhh love this!! I’m all about lavender!! Nothing more relaxing than laying around to the scent of lavender after a long day!!!
I’m a side sleeper. I think I’d like this though even if I weren’t!
Thanks so much for the DIY! I will definitely give this a try since I love anything with lavender scent, even my car scent is lavender. It really helps to relax the mind. I really agree with you with the pillow, my neck and body aches when I used a bad pillow.
Don’t you just love lavender! It always makes me sleep better then I have it around my bed.
Yes, it is so calming!
Great idea and recipe. i have issues with chronic pain that keeps awake which then stresses me. I’ve used lavender on lightbulbs. This will be my next project
I’m sorry to hear about your chronic pain issues! I imagine the lack of sleep due to chronic pain would be stressful. I hope this pillow mist can help you catch some zzz’s!
