Nothing is more essential to a good night's sleep than your pillow. Pay attention and learn the secret to sleeping like a log.
1. Know when to throw a pillow out. A worn or stained cover is a good indication that hard wear has taken its toll. More importantly, decide if your pillows are doing their job, which is to support your head and spinal column. Fold the pillow in the middle and press down for a moment. Pillows that spring quickly back into shape are usually fine. Start shopping if one remains limply folded.
2. Match pillows to your sleeping style. This may be the most critical part of the purchasing decision since pillows provide critical neck and spine support. Anyone who prefers sleeping on their stomach or who sleeps in many different positions usually finds that a soft pillow offers the best results. Like sleeping on your back? Consider a medium support pillow for the necessary head and neck support. Side-sleepers can usually find the best results if they choose firm support pillows. Unsure of your sleeping position? Down and down-like synthetic pillows can be adjusted to fit varying support needs.
3. Don't forget the exterior. The ticking, which is the outside cover of the pillow, should be comfortable and durable. A 100% cotton cover with a high thread count allows pillows to breathe and prevents feathers from escaping or poking fun at you.
