It would seem that what could be easier than choosing a pillow? However, this is a whole science, neglecting which, you risk depriving yourself of a good night’s sleep. There are a few simple rules, but not everyone knows or remembers them. We recommend that you read our article and check yourself: have you chosen your pillow correctly? Maybe it’s time to change it to a new one that meets all the requirements and can provide your head and neck with the necessary support and a comfortable position during the night’s rest.
Pay attention to what materials the pillow is made of. Only special fillers can endow it with anatomical properties, that is, the ability to adapt to the outlines of the head and neck. Being in a physiologically correct position, they allow the muscles to relax, and you to rest. These fillers include natural latex, various foam materials with the addition of gel, which gives a pleasant cooling effect, as well as fillers based on natural feathers and down in combination with artificial fibers.
The shape of the pillow – classic or ergonomic – should be determined by your personal comfort. Choose a model that gives you comfort. According to expert research, pillows of the classic shape are more suitable for those who prefer to sleep on their side, and ergonomic pillows on their back or stomach. However, before buying, it is better to test the pillow and make sure in practice which option you really like.
Do not hesitate and lie down for a few minutes in different positions on different pillows. Please note: if you automatically put your hand under your head, then you should switch to another model. The best option will be the one on which you do not have to adjust the height in one way or another. As we said, having additional options, such as gel inclusions or perforations, can significantly improve the quality of sleep. By promoting air circulation or having the effect of thermoregulation, such a pillow maintains an optimal microclimate for relaxation, regardless of the weather in the house.
