How to select the best pillow for you…

Everyone's got their favourite type of pillow. Foam,latex, down, or polyester.

 

The sleeping position determines the type of pillow that would suit, from the back snorers to the stomach sleepers, to every angle in between. 

 

Some of these positions aren't necessarilygreat for your posture, it's important to choose the right pillow to supportyou. Quality sleep is vital for good health, and a good pillow is vital forquality sleep.

 

 

Stomach Sleeper

 

A soft, flat pillow is best for stomach sleepers, it gives support without raising the head and neck too far. Synthetic, wool-fibre, feathers and down are good options for keeping it low.

Side Sleeper 

 

A firm-to-extra-firm pillow is best for side sleepers, because it ensures your spine is supported properly at a consistent height. Latex and foam are the likely contenders if you love to sleep on your side 

Back Sleeper

 

A medium-to-firm pillow is best for supporting your head and neck while you sleep. Consider a pillow made from foam.

Combination Sleeper

 

A soft, flat pillow is best for stomach sleepers, because it gives support without raising the head and neck too far. Synthetic, wool-fibre, feathers and down are good options for keeping it low
