The pillow is one of the most important investments in our lives! The pillow determines whether we wake up rested and refreshed in the morning - and thus determines our performance, mood, and well-being.
We give you a few tips on what to look for when buying a pillow and how to properly care for your pillow.
How can I be sure that I am using the right pillow?
When choosing a pillow, pay attention to the following: The right pillow should keep the head, neck, and spine in a neutral alignment and support the natural curvature of the spine.
What is the best type of pillow if you are a back sleeper?
Back sleepers should look for a "medium" pillow. So they look for a loft that is neither too high nor too low and a firmness that is neither too firm nor too soft. A good middle ground, in other words. The best pillow is one made from pressure-adapting materials like memory foam.
What is the best pillow for a side sleeper?
Side sleepers need pillows with a high loft and firmer support. Pillows made from materials that can fluff up, like down, are also recommended.
What is the best pillow for stomach sleepers?
Some experts recommend avoiding sleeping on the stomach altogether, as it tends to bring the upper cervical spine into end rotation or extension. However, for stomach sleepers who cannot or do not want to give up this sleeping position, it is advisable to find a pillow with a low loft, soft support, and a compressible filling such as feathers or down.
