Generally pillows come in three sizes: Standard and Queen and King. However, choosing the type of pillow you want can often be a difficult task with so many fillings and styles to choose from.
To help you out, we have come up with a buying guide for choosing the perfect pillow for your need and requirements. Happy Sleeping!
Sleep Position
How you normally sleep plays a major role when deciding what pillow you want to purchase for yourself. If you sleep on your back you are more than likely going to sleep better with a thinner pillow, while if you sleep on your side you may need a thicker pillow to give extra support to your neck in order to keep it properly aligned. People who sleep on their stomach should be careful not to get a pillow that is too thick, so they don’t suffocate on the pillow.
Filling
If you prefer to sleep on a very thin pillow, down or synthetic down would work well for you. If you prefer a more supportive pillow, memory foam would be a good option. Memory foam reacts to your heat and weight of your head and slowly conforms around your head and neck to provide the ultimate support.
Firmness
Whatever manufacturer you choose you will find that all their pillows have different levels of firmness. If you purchase a down pillow you will notice that you can purchase one that is very thick or thin. Whichever you choose is on the basis of how you sleep. Memory Foam Pillows can come in different shapes, firmnesses and densities. For a pillow, 3lb density seems to work best. It is soft, yet supportive. A comfort or standard shaped memory foam pillow is normally a memory foam shell with small clusters of memory foam inside.
Covers
Choosing your cover generally depends on the pillow you choose. Memory foam pillows normally come with a removable and washable cover.
However, make sure that you keep the washing instruction in case your pillow gets dirty.
