Bedding pillows are often dismissed when it comes to buying furniture and accessories for the bedroom. Most people generally focus on the mattress, bed base and duvet cover and even headboard.
Forgetting your pillow is a crazy idea. Without a decent pillow you probably wont get that good night’s sleep. And we are not being dramatic when we say that. In fact your choice of mattress and pillows is closely linked to your overall health and well being.
An unsuitable pillow can cause general tiredness through lack of sleep, medical complaints such as neck, shoulder and upper back pains. If you are having these problems, then it really is time to change your pillow before you do more damage to your health.
There are a wide range of pillows available and choosing the right one to suit you can be difficult. Some of the most common types of pillows are:
- Synthetic fibre-filled pillows: often called hollow fibre. These pillows are not expensive and come in a variety of firmness levels, covering most people’s comfort preferences. They are also great for people who are allergic to certain natural materials, however the hollow fibre pillow has a tendency to bunch up after a relatively short period of time, losing their overall shape.
- Down or feather-filled pillows: a traditional luxury or possibly the most high quality choice. These types of pillows give high levels of softness and comfort. Due to there extreme levels of softness their down-filled pillows are not for everyone and require careful daily airing or ‘plumping’ to maintain their performance every time.
- Memory foam pillows: Same as a memory foam mattress providing body-moulding support. There are a lot of cheaper versions online that say they are memory foam but are in fact low quality foams that don’t offer the same performance either immediately or long term.
- Orthopedic pillow: Designed to provide support to different parts of the head, neck and body. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes including ‘L’ shaped or cylindrical forms. Usually made from synthetic or memory foam based.
