Pillows

Whether you like your pillow to be soft, fluffy or firm, the most important thing is your comfort. Choosing the right pillow for your needs can make the world of difference to a good night’s sleep. You may not know this, but the way you sleep determines what type of pillow you should choose.

If you tend to sleep curled up on your side, your head and neck need to be in a higher position than they would be if you sleep on your front or back. Your head needs to be kept straight to ensure it is aligned with your spine. For side sleepers, we would recommend a firm pillow.

If you tend to sleep on the flat of your back, we would recommend a pillow with medium support to your shoulders, helping to maintain a comfortable sleeping position. Pillows with natural filling, such as goose feather or down, tend to be the best choice for back sleepers as these align your neck and head perfectly.

If you sleep on your stomach, your head should be in a lower position to avoid straining your neck while you sleep. If the pillow is too high, your spine will not be in alignment with your neck which could cause problems when you wake up. A pillow with soft support is recommended for you as this reduces muscle tension and pressure on your neck.

Always protect your pillow with a pillow protector case, they will also add extra comfort. It is recommended you replace your pillow every 6 months to 1 year – however, this depends on the filling of the pillow and how comfortable your night’s sleep is.
