Why is choosing the right pillow so important?
A good pillow is just as important as a good mattress. It's the final step that completes the proper support and ensures a unique and comfortable sleep experience.
While sleeping, your head and neck should remain in the same position as when you're standing. If your neck doesn't receive sufficient support, it can lead to problems like neck and back pain.
That's why choosing the right pillow is essential for a good and restorative night's sleep.
How do you choose the right pillow?
The most important thing when choosing a pillow is your sleeping position .
- Back sleepers benefit from a pillow that is a little more elastic in the middle, so that the head is properly supported.
- Side sleepers need more space between their shoulders and neck. Therefore, a thicker pillow with a firmer center is better suited to this position.
- Stomach sleepers usually sleep better on a thin, soft pillow, so that the neck is not strained too much.
Besides your sleeping position, your body type and weight also play a role. A larger, heavier body often requires a thicker and firmer pillow, while a lighter or smaller body needs less support. The weight of your head (on average, 3.5 to 5.5 kilograms) can also influence which pillow is best.
Finally, it is important to take your mattress into account.
- On a softer, elastic mattress, almost any pillow works well.
- On a firmer mattress you often need a thicker pillow to properly support your neck.
- If you use a mattress topper, a more elastic pillow may be more comfortable.
This way you can choose the pillow that perfectly suits your body, sleeping position and mattress, for a healthy and comfortable night's sleep.
How do you customize your pillow to your needs?
Pillows filled with natural latex flakes can be easily adjusted to your personal sleeping needs.
Thanks to the separate compartments and zippered system, you can control the amount of filling. By adding or removing filling, you can adjust the thickness and firmness of your pillow, ensuring a perfect fit.
