Finding the perfect sleeping pillow is a vital part of getting a good night's sleep. The most important factor in choosing a pillow is making sure to match your pillow to your sleeping needs. Since pillows provide necessary neck and spine support, it's essential to find the correct firmness that's right for you. If you are typically a stomach sleeper, try a pillow with a softer feel. Prefer sleeping on your back? Choose a pillow with a medium firmness for the head and neck support that you need. Side sleepers should look to the firmest pillow for proper spine alignment. Tend to toss and turn while you sleep? Try a down or down-alternative pillow, whose fluffy clusters will adjust to any sleeping position.
The fill types of sleeping pillows are varied and different. Natural filled pillows, such as pure down and down/feather blend pillows are the most desirable. Their durable nature and luxurious texture make them an investment that will provide you with years of comfort. White Goose Down is the best quality natural fill for bed pillows, featuring large, fluffy clusters that have the greatest ability to loft. Feather and Down Blends combine the soft resilience of down with the firm support and durability of feathers. Remember to purchase cotton covers for you pillows in addition to pillowcases. They'll protect your pillow from dirt and dust and keep down and feathers from poking through.
Synthetic pillows are machine washable, affordable alternatives to down. Some synthetic pillows feature polyester clusters that mimic the qualities of natural down, providing neck support and varied levels of firmness while keeping you comfortable and allergy-free. Refresh your synthetic pillows on your dryer's air fluff setting. This helps keep loft in the fiberfill and preserves the resiliency of a pillow. Machine wash your synthetic pillows occasionally when the fibers become flattened and the pillows begin to lose their shape. Wash in warm water on a gentle cycle and dry on low heat until completely dry. Using an additional pillow protector will increase the life of your pillow and help keep it clean.
For those with more specific sleeping needs, look to therapeutic pillows for the greatest degrees of support and firmness.
Replace your pillow when the outer cover fabric shows signs of wear, if the fill is leaking from the seams or if it has lost its shape. A pillow is only useful when it supports your neck and spine properly. Ensure that you'll have a peaceful night's sleep by using these guidelines to help you choose the right pillow for your sleeping needs.
