Pillow Talk: How Do I Choose the Right Pillow? Information and buying guides for you.

Did you know that the average person spends about one-third of his or her life in bed? A good pillow means a good night’s sleep.

The ideal pillow keeps your head and neck in the same relative position as when you’re standing with good posture. To find the right pillows for bed, ask yourself what position you sleep in most of the night—back, side, or stomach (many people switch it up but generally fall asleep or wake up in the same position). Different types of sleepers have different needs.

How do I choose the right pillow?

Get to know the materials. Down refers to the plumage (but not the feathers) of ducks or geese. Down alternative pillows are made from polyester fibers designed to mimic the soft, lightweight qualities of genuine down. Memory foam is designed to conform deeply and create a cradle-shaped impression around the sleeper’s head, neck and shoulders. Two types of memory foam pillows are available. The first type is filled with shredded foam fibers, while the second type consists of a single section of foam. The material inside the pillow also determines its level of support. Bedsure provides quite pillows for sale so you can find the one that best suits you.

Pick your pillow

If you like a pillow that feels like a cloud when you lie down, look for one with a natural fill like down, feather or down-alternative pillows.

For the most support and a dense feel, memory-foam pillows are the way to go. Such as memory foam side sleeper pillow, pillows for neck pain, bed neck pillow and so on.

If you’re an allergy sufferer, look for pillows made with hypoallergenic fills. Like hypoallergenic memory foam pillow.

How do you usually sleep? Side-sleepers typically have extra space between their head and the pillow due to their position. Back-sleepers tend to enjoy medium-loft pillows the most because they provide a balance of softness and thickness. Stomach-sleepers may not require a pillow at all, since there is not as much space between their head and the surface of the bed.

Pick your pillow

If you sleep on your side, you need pillows for side sleepers (with firm support). Ideally, they should cradle your head, neck and shoulders. If you prefer sleeping on your back, pillows with medium support are best because they support your upper spine’s natural curve. If you’re a stomach sleeper, look for pillows with soft support so they don’t force your head into unnatural positions while you’re sleeping.

Different Pillow sizes

To choose the right size pillow, you’ll need to consider three factors: how big your bed is, how many pillows you need and how you will use them. Pillow sizes correspond roughly to mattresses (standard, queen, king). If you like to prop yourself against a pile of pillows for reading, buy smaller-size ones that you can layer. Even on a king-size bed, a standard pillow may be what you want to sleep on.
