When we think of investing in the room we sleep in, many people go for the best quality mattress a comfy and cosy duvet and make do with some half hearted pillows that last a few months and don’t support your neck and back to give you a decent night’s sleep.

It is so important to invest in a good pillow but everyone has their own way of sleeping and type of pillow they like, so we have come up with some options available for you to buy when choosing the perfect pillow.

Many people hold on to their pillows for far too long and end up losing valuable sleep because they are uncomfortable. Most pillows should be replaced every two years, with cheaper pillows replaced more frequently.

If your pillow no longer has any bounce then it is time to throw it out. If you fold it in half, does it bounce back or gradually return to its shape or does it fall back to its shape at all?

Firm or Soft?

The wrong pillow can ruin your sleep and a pillow that is too soft or too flat can cause neck pain, and one that is to stiff or too high can cause back pain.

The right pillow for you will support your neck comfortably. The size and firmness required will depend on both your personal physiology and on the way you sleep. Some people prefer a soft and fluffy pillow while others prefer one that is firmer.

If you sleep on your stomach than a soft pillow is probably your best option. People who sleep on their backs require something a lot firmer. Side sleepers require the most support and hence an even firm, higher pillow.

Pillow Fillings

There are a wide variety of pillow fillings on the market, both natural and synthetic. Whatever your preference make sure that what you buy is of high quality.

Most cheap pillows either offer no support or are too rigid and lack comfort. A good pillow should conform to your natural contours and provide full support for your head.

Memory Foam

A good option would be to choose a memory foam pillow. A memory foam pillow shapes to the natural contours of your head when lay upon. The material reacts with the heat of your body and repositions itself if you move throughout the night. Memory foam pillows are great for side sleepers.

Pillow Cases

Don’t forget about the pillow case as not only is it the part that everyone sees, it is also the material you lie on and breathe in while you sleep. If you suffer from allergies it may be a good idea to invest in a hyperallergenic pillow. These reduce the amount of dust mites that live in your pillow giving you that perfect night’s sleep with no sneezing or loss of breath.

We all love snuggling into bed and night into our warm duvet. As soon as our head hits the pillow we can feel ourselves drifting off into a peaceful sleep, not thinking about the thought of getting up for work the next day.

However, that isn’t how all of us feel.

Our bed is meant to be the safe haven of where you want to be after a night out, if you are ill, upset or feeling very tired, yet why do we fill it with rubbish bedding pillows that do nothing for our comfort and support?

Well at Duvet and Pillow Warehouse, we have come up with some top ideas to make sure that you know which pillows are the best to buy in order for you to get that perfect night’s sleep.

Feather pillows and down pillows, such as goose down pillows are usually the most comfortable but also the most expensive.

The question is, which one should you go for?

• If you want to feel like you are resting on a cloud a 100 per cent down pillow is the way to go.
• If a slightly firmer feel is preferable, go for a blend of feathers and down.
• If you are looking for that complete firm pillow then 100 per cent feather pillow is highly recommended.
• From time to time, bedding pillows do get dirty and need to be regularly washed to reduce dust mites and other bacterial like dead skin. Most bedding pillows can be washed in the washing machine on a gentle cycle and dried in the tumble dryer on a low heat. Some people suggest putting a tennis ball or pair of CLEAN trainers in the machine too to help beat out any clumps that may have formed during washing.
• And if your pillows aren’t dirty but just need fluffing, place them in the dryer on low heat with a damp washcloth.

A feathered pillow is one of the most comfortable luxurious comforts when it comes to bedding products.

Many people find that they have a more peaceful and relaxing night’s sleep but don’t know how to look after them to help them keep their shape.

Feather pillows require more care than normal bedding pillows and Duvet and Pillow Warehouse have come up with some great steps to help you look after those fluffy pillows.

1. Washing Machine

Don’t be afraid to use your washing machine to wash your feather pillows. Place them in your washing machine two at a time in order to keep the load even and place the setting on either cold or warm.

2. Detergent

Don’t over do on the detergent and reduce the amount you use with the feather pillows.

3. Use trainers to reshape

This may be a funny way of cleaning your feather pillows, but it does work. Make sure they are clean (obviously) and add them to the dryer when placing your pillows in to dry. This will reduce the lumps and maximise the fluff of pillows as the trainers gently beat the pillows as they tumble.

Make sure the dryer is on the lowest setting and stop it every so often to manually fluff them and then place back inside the dryer. Feather pillows generally need more time to be cleaned and dried than other bedding pillows, but the time spent on them will be worth it in the end.

5. Dry Cleaners

And if you really don’t trust yourself to do it right or don’t have the time to get it done, you can send them to the dry cleaners and they can do all the hard work for you.

Most of us start the week eating healthily and drinking lots of water, but by the end end of the week are sprawled on the couch with a massive hangover eating cooked breakfasts and takeaway food galore.

Well we thought we would combine the dodgy hangover and scrumptious stodge food and find some food bedding pillows to crash out on after a mad weekend on the tiles.

Cooked Breakfast

Full Fry Up for that banging headache!

These cool food pillows are perfect for those hangover days when all you want to eat is greasy food to soak up the alcohol. Just make sure you are feeling hungry and not sickly as we can only imagine the thought of food could turn your stomach on a night out, let alone lying on it!

Sushi Pillows

Something fishy going on here!...Sorry we couldn't help ourselves!

These sushi pillows are a fabulous accessory to have in a sushi restaurant entrance foyer or even in your own home if you really are into your fish but we aren’t so sure they add a touch of glamour!

Pizza Pillow

Hey, I ordered a vegetarian pizza!

We love this Pizza pillow and think it is fabulous accessory to throw onto a bed, chair, sofa, etc.

Chicken Leg Pillow

Nice Leg!

Well everyone loves a bit of chicken and this pillow is no exception! We would definitely advise you to keep it out of the dogs way though, we can only imagine you coming home from work to a bedroom full off feathers! Luckily we don’t mean a live chicken’s ones!

Everyone loves the idea of a large spacious room complete with a large bed, luxury bedroom furniture, large windows which open up onto a balcony overlooking stunning views….but that really is a life most of us can only dream of.

Many of us are stuck in small poxy bedrooms were we have to shuffle around the bed to get to the door, or we have to share a bedroom with our beloved sibling who is really messy and talks in their sleep.

Whatever the situation the scenarios can be a nightmare but we would like you to spare a thought for some of these poor souls.

Now when you think of a bedroom you think ‘Oh well it will have a bed, a wardrobe, possibly a desk at least’…wrong! Take a look at some of these teeny weeny bedrooms and be thankful for what you have got.

Smallest Bedroom One

Oh my days this poor person has a decent sized bedroom and instead they have put in a double bed instead of a single. May be they move around a lot in bed or may be it is a couple and a single is obviously too small but this is insane. You would have to be a twig to walk to the other side of the bed as that gap looks pretty thin!

Smallest Bed Two

Oh my days this poor man doesn’t even have a room. Just a tube with a mattress in and a door that he has to climb out of. What a shame. Lets just hope that the bedding products are a memory foam mattress and a feathered pillow to make it that little more homely.

Oh my days what an earth can you do with this room? You can even fit a bed in it let alone a wardrobe or desk. We feel sad for the person who draws the short straw with this room.

Waking up in the morning with neck or back ache can often mean that the pillow you are sleeping on is too hard or too soft.

A persons preference differs from one to the next. Some people like their bedding pillows to be firm and supportive while others prefer a pillow with a soft and fluffy feel to it. This decision really comes to down to the way you sleep at night.

Before you purchase your new bedding pillow, look at how you sleep. Do you sleep on your back, side or front, or a combination of all three positions? How does your neck and back feel when you wake up?

There are a wide range of different types of bedding pillow all which give varying levels of firmness. They are;

Goose Down Feather Pillows or Duck Feather Pillows – For a medium to soft feel.

Microfibre Pillows and Hollowfibre Pillows – For a medium to firm feel.

Memory Foam Pillows  -For a supportive firm feel.

Goose Down Pillows

Goose or duck down feathered pillows are renowned for their ultimate luxurious feel. The delicate yet substantial feathered filling offers a medium to soft feel that adjusts itself to the contours of the neck and spine.

Warm pockets of air are trapped by the soft down which gives the pillow that lightweight airy feel you can really sink into while still offering support exactly where it is needed.

Micro Fibre Pillows

 Allergies can be a nightmare when you are trying to sleep. If you or any member of your family suffer from any allergy or asthma, natural filling like down and feather is definitely a no go.

Micro Fibre pillows are made from a highly compressed synthetic fibre that has an air pocket running through the length of it. The material is as warm and comfortable as goose down pillows as the air is pumped into each fibre during the spinning process, however microfibre pillows are highly breathable and have a more economical price tag.

Hollow Fibre Pillows

Hollow Fibre is a hypoallergenic material which is very light and fluffy. The pillow gives a light to medium firm feel to the pillow and is perfect for asthma sufferers and children as it is completely man made and non-allergenic. The bonus about hollow fibre pillows is that they are generally better at maintaining their shape and loft than natural fill pillows are.

Memory Foam Pillows

Memory Foam Pillows were the original answer for people who suffer from neck and back problems. The bedding pillows give a firm and supportive feel as well as being very comfortable to sleep on.

Memory Foam was used by astronauts in space and is an amazing material that spreads out evenly whenever pressure is applied to it. The material is heat sensitive and will shape itself to your body no matter which way you lie. If you move around a lot in your sleep the foam will gradually return to its original shape and conform to your new sleeping position.

Memory foam pillows are said to help people who suffer with insomnia, sleep apnea and other sleep disorders.
