You have spent a small fortune on the latest memory foam mattress and treated yourself to a high quality down quilt. You have then added a luxurious Egyptian cotton bedding set to cover your duvet and give you a comfy sheet to lie upon. So why is it that you still can’t seem to get a good night’s sleep? The answer to your question is that you have probably neglected to factor in the importance of a good pillow as part of your bedding.

Hollowfibre fill

Hollowfibre pillows are made from a man made material that is hypoallergenic, meaning they are great for kids and asthma sufferers. They are also better at keeping their shape than natural fill pillows due to the fact that they are designed to spring back.

Feather and down

If you are seeking a luxurious pillow then a duck or goose feather and down are good options. The feathered filling offers a soft to medium feel and the pillow will mould to the shape of your head and neck, offering good support.

Memory foam

The memory foam pillow could well be the most helpful option to those of you losing sleep due to your choice of pillow. A memory foam pillow may be especially of use if you suffer from neck or back problems. This is thanks to the fact that the material will spread evenly whenever pressure is applied to it. Therefore the shape of the pillow will adjust and give you support no matter how many different positions you sleep in during the night.

Considering an Orthopaedic option

Another option for those that struggle to get comfortable with the regular style is the orthopaedic V-shaped pillow. Although traditionally used to offer extra support when sitting up in bed and by pregnant women, they can also be used if you are struggling to get comfortable. Some people find that the shape of the pillow offers a nice corner where they can tuck their shoulder into, thus getting the support to their neck and head that they require.
