Sleep is one of the most important times of the day for our bodies. So, it should be important to make sure our body gets the support it needs while we are sleeping. To get this support you need to purchase a high-quality pillow.
So, let’s try to find what qualities you should be looking for when choosing the best pillow
Combination sleeper
First, though, let’s briefly talk about what a combination sleeper is. The term combination sleeper refers to someone who sleeps in multiple positions throughout the night. For example, they might start the night sleeping on their backs, the transition to a side position, then wake up on their stomach. This puts unique demands on the pillow because different sleep positions require different pillow firmness to best support your body.
Benefits
One of the most important things that a pillow can do is support your neck and align your spine. This will help prevent you from waking up with a sore neck or back. Because combination sleepers take multiple positions throughout the night, you need to find a pillow that will keep your neck supported and spine aligned correctly regardless of what position you are in. Usually, firm pillows offer the most support while the softer pillow offers the least amount of support. Usually, if you have a thin frame with narrow shoulders you will be best suited with a low pillow. Alternatively, if you have a bigger frame and a broader shoulder, you will need a higher pillow. Now we know how to choose a pillow that offers enough support, let’s look at how to choose one that you will help you relax.
Features
Another key consideration when finding the best pillow for combination sleepers is how comfortable it is. If you have a comfortable pillow you will usually find it easier to go to sleep. You may, though, need to strike a balance between a comfortable pillow and a supportive one. Softer pillows tend to be more relaxing, but less supportive. You should, however, be able to find a pillow that will give you both support and comfort. One of the best ways of identifying a cozy pillow is to test it in-store. This will allow you to see how much you enjoy lying on the pillow. If the pillow is only available online, check the returns policy as many companies offer you the chance to try it and return it for a refund if you don’t like the experience.
Filling
The filling is the material inside the pillow and may impact on how effective it is. For example, getting a pillow that lets air circulate through the fabric will make the sleep experience more pleasant. This is because it keeps the pillow at a comfortable temperature, making it easier for you to fall asleep. For example, a wool pillow will usually let air circulate more freely than a denser filling like memory foam. Some of the most common types of filling are; feather, polyester, wool and memory foam. Each of these has different pros and cons. Feather pillows are lightweight and breathable, but they usually don’t offer much support. Polyester is one of the most common types of pillows and comes in different levels of firmness. It is also very easy to care for although it may become lumpy and doesn’t breathe very well. Cotton pillows are breathable and made of a natural material. However, over time they do flatten and become hard. Finally, memory foam or latex pillows are great at providing support but may take a while to adjust to support you when you change positions.
Filler features
When you’ve chosen the best pillow for your needs you want it to last for a long time. The type of filling might impact on how often you need to replace the pillow. For example, polyester pillows usually need to be replaced more often than memory foam pillows. Regularly fluffing and cleaning the pillow may help them last longer. However, regardless of which type of pillow you purchase or how often you clean it, you will eventually need to replace the pillow. There are signs that occur when your pillow needs to be replaced. For example, it typically becomes flatter and harder. It may also grow discolored.
