How To Choose The Right Pillow | Pillow Guide Part 2

In Part 1 of this series, we discussed the importance of choosing the right pillow and covered factors such as pillow fabrics, filling, size, and thickness. In this follow-up article, we will delve deeper into the topic and explore additional factors to consider when choosing a pillow.

When choosing a pillow, it's important to consider your personal preference for firmness. Some people prefer a firm pillow that provides strong support for their neck and head, while others prefer a softer, cloud-like feel. If you're someone who likes to sink into your pillow, you may prefer a softer pillow that is made from fiber or memory foam. If you prefer a firmer pillow, you may want to consider a foam pillow or one filled with buckwheat hulls.

Your sleeping position can also play a role in choosing the right pillow. Here are a few tips for each type of sleeper:

Side Sleepers

If you’re searching for a pillow for side sleepers, then you need to try a large memory foam pillow. Pillows for side sleepers need to be much firmer, so buckwheat is the most appropriate filling. Buckwheat pillows can help keep the spine aligned at night and relieve pressure on the shoulders.   Sleeping On Your Back One of the best pillow for sleeping on your back is an adjustable yet large buckwheat pillow. Naturally, stimulate micro-circulation as you sleep and enjoy how easy it is to adjust in terms of height and comfort. Generally, when you sleep on your back, a medium-firm pillow is best, as you will need extra support around your neck and head.   Stomach Sleeper The best pillow for stomach sleepers is a cervical support pillow or a medium loft memory foam pillow. Both types are great pillows for stomach sleepers and will offer you additional support and maintain proper alignment whilst minimizing neck or lower back pain at night. 

Another factor to consider when choosing a pillow is whether you have any allergies or sensitivities to certain materials. For example, some people are allergic to down or feathers and need to choose a synthetic fiber pillow instead. Others may have an allergy to dust mites, in which case they should choose a pillow that is hypoallergenic and can resist the growth of dust mites.

There are a variety of materials available for pillows, including synthetic fibers, down, feathers, foam, and buckwheat hulls. Each material has its own set of benefits and drawbacks, so it's important to choose the right one based on your needs and preferences. For example, down and feathers provide a soft and luxurious feel, but they may cause allergies in some people. Synthetic fibers, on the other hand, are hypoallergenic and provide good support, but they may not be as soft as natural materials.
