How to Buy the Perfect Pillow?

5 Tips to Look for Perfect Pillow for Your Individual Sleep Needs

Most people believe that their mattress is the most relevant factor when it comes to getting a good night’s sleep. While there is no debate about this, it is also equally true that finding the best pillow plays just as pivotal of a role.

Of course, everyone has their own sleep style, posture, and special needs, so there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all pillow that is right for everyone. Your own individual sleep style will determine the type of pillow that will provide you with the most comfort.

Best Fillings for Pillows

The filling is the most important factor, and there are multiple varieties available on the market. If you want the cheapest, then opt for standard foam. These are very affordable and can usually be found at your typical bargain store for under $5. However, keep in mind that you get what you pay for; while foam may be suitable for the first few weeks, it will quickly compress from the weight of your head and will need to be replaced frequently.

Cotton-filled Pillows

There are also cotton-filled, which generally provide better and longer-lasting quality than your standard foam but are still affordable. These come in a variety of thicknesses and comfort levels, which make them an ideal choice if you have a need for a specific firmness. Cotton pillows will usually have a label indicating whether it is soft, medium or firm. Some brands may also carry varieties like extra soft or extra firm.

Down Pillows

Also, consider purchasing a down pillow. For the most part, these are your standard ones filled with feathers. Within this category itself, you have a whole range of selections. First, it’s important to realize that a down one is not the same as a feathered pillow. Both contain feathers, but a regular feather one contains feathers from a bird’s outermost layer, including the entire quill.

Down feathers, on the other hand, are softer and are acquired from a bird’s innermost layer; as a result, they are generally of better quality and can retain their original shape and fluffiness over a period of time. Down pillows are more expensive than feathered ones though they will last a lot longer. There are also varieties that use a mixture of the two.

Should you use an Orthopedic one?

For those with a preexisting neck injury, orthopedic pillows may be recommended. These are made specifically to conform to the shape of your head and neck to promote correct spine alignment. Keep in mind, however, that orthopedic ones come in a variety of fills, so don’t go picking one out at random and think it will provide more comfort simply because it has the word “orthopedic” written on it. To determine one that is right for your needs, speak with a physiotherapist. Using an orthopedic one may be no more beneficial than a standard foam pillow if you don’t select the right one.

Pillows for Comfortable Sleeping Position

A pillow should promote comfort and keep your head and neck in a natural position. Of course, every person has different needs, so your selection should be based on factors like your sleep posture and whether you have a history of neck and back pain. Having the right one will certainly prevent a night of tossing and turning.

We have the perfect pillow for you, specifically designed to provide a rested night without back or neck pain. We offer orthopedic pillows that conform to the shape of your head and neck to promote correct spine alignment, as well as pain-relieving properties that help alleviate discomfort caused by back or neck pain.
