5 Key Factors To Check Before Buying A Pillow by Y4all: 5:08pm On Mar 14, 2022
You will agree with me that no matter how expensive and comfortable your mattress is, your sleep environment isn’t complete without a good pillow to complement your mattress. As mattresses, Pillows are super essential for a restful night's sleep. For Nigerians, getting the right pillow has become somewhat of a huge task owing to the variety of pillows in the market today. Therefore, consumers must be sensitized to know what to look out for before making that choice of a pillow. Our review looks at these below-mentioned factors which are a must check for every consumer to make an informed decision in the buying process.
Some of the key factors to check before buying a Pillow include:

Sleeping Position:
Your sleep position speaks volumes about the kind of pillow you’ll need. Someone who sleeps on his back (back sleeper) will need a pillow different from someone who sleeps on their side. This is because the kind of support you’ll need while sleeping differs. For example, a back sleeper needs a pillow with minimal support compared to a side sleeper who needs a pillow with maximum support to keep the neck and the head properly aligned with the body.

Pillow Filling:
The content of your pillow should also be of utmost concern to you. This filling ultimately determines the comfort level and the type of feeling to be received by the user. Such pillow fill includes foam, memory foam, down, feather, and polyester. Each of these fills offers its unique comfort and support. For instance, a memory pillow fill is molded to give custom support and relieves your pressure points, a down filling is plush and luxurious to help your head and neck sink right into the pillow, polyester fill on the other hands is very common, inexpensive and could be lumpy which may require frequent replacement and lastly, the cotton fill is very hypo hypoallergenic, breathable, cool, and easy to care for. It’s generally known to flatten out over time which means it may also require constant replacement.

Pillow Firmness:
You have to put into consideration the fact that a pillow will lose its firmness over time. If you fold your pillow in half and it does not return to its normal shape, then it is time to buy a new pillow. A pillow can be soft, medium soft, firm, and very firm whatever your preference may be, make sure it gives you the support you need. For insights, a back or stomach sleeper requires a soft pillow and a side sleeper or someone with neck pain requires a very firm pillow to give maximum support.

Pillow Sizes:
The size of your pillow is another factor to consider when making a purchase. The size of your pillow greatly affects your sleep quality. Your choice of pillow should complement your bed size. The three most common pillow sizes are standard, queen, and king. It will be wrong to purchase a standard size pillow for a 72inches bed. It is often advisable to make choices of pillows that are proportional to your mattress size to guarantee better sleep quality.

Specialty Pillows:
These kinds of pillows are special and therapeutic pillows that are molded to cater to special medical or physiological concerns and are mostly prescribed by health or medical officers. For instance, a reading pillow is styled to provide stability for a reader to sit up in a bed to read a book or watch a movie. A pregnancy pillow is a custom-made U-shaped styled pillow that is crafted to provide support to a pregnant woman. More so, a Contour pillow is specifically built to provide support to people suffering from neck pain or upper spine disorder. So also are pillows such as wedge pillows or leg support pillows in existence to cater for one need or the other for specially designed pillows that provide customer support so you can sleep well despite the uncomfortable conditions.

In the words of Nick Rowe “Give your all to every experience, feel it breathe it appreciate it, nothing lasts forever, That is the story of an amazing pillow.
