Down or feather pillows?

These pillows are light and soft—if you like a soft place to rest your head at night, you may like a down pillow. Down pillows are usually made from either goose or duck fibers.
Positive:
Down and feather pillows are in wide choice of firmness from very soft and flat good for stomack sleepers to more firm for side and back sleepers. Be aware that “pure down” and “all down” pillows may still contain feathers and other fill.

Attention

A feather pillow will likely be harder than down pillow, and there is a chance that some of the feather quills could poke through the fabric, particularly in cheaper feather pillows.

They are resilient and breathable because they are made of a natural material.

Many people worry about allergic reactions and sensitivity to down. There are people who have hard allergies to down and feathers. Often, however, the allergic reaction to down comes from a lower-quality down filling that hasn’t been sufficiently cleaned.

You can look for hypo-allergenic down, often called “hypodown,” Good quality down pillows are expensive, but worth it if this is the type of pillow you prefer.

Synthetic down and polyester fill.

Synthetic down pillows are less expensive than natural, hypo-allergenic natural down but they will need replacing more frequently.

Cotton Pillow

Cotton pillows are naturally hypo-allergenic and resistant to dust mites and mold. Cotton pillows are mostly flat and firm.

 

Wool Pillow

These pillows are naturally hypo-allergenic, and resistant to mold and dust mites. Wool pillows wick away moisture from your head and neck and can be effective at helping regulate your temperature during sleep, keeping you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Wool pillows are quite firm so they are not the best for stomach sleeper.

 

Latex

Latex pillows are made from the sap of rubber trees.

Latex pillows tend to be more firm than down, but still very comfortable. These pillows hold their shape

Latex pillows come in all shapes and sizes. Consistencies vary as well, some use shredded material while others are made of solid cores. Latex is resistant to mold and dust mites. They are made in many shapes, deliver extra support to the head and neck. Good choice for side and back sleepers.

Negative – they have special odor which could be problem for sensitive to smells people..

Memory foam pillow

Memory foam is made of potyurethane. Very popular in recent years. Pillows are responding to your weight and body heat. Memory foam softens and contours to the lines of your head, neck, and shoulders. It also distributes weight evenly across its surface. They provide good support, especially if you have neck, jaw, or shoulder problems.

 

Negative – this filling can make you hot because the material doesn’t “breathe”

They are not the best choice for mixed sleeper who change position many times throughout the night, they take a bit of time to mold into different shapes.

Synthetic materials like memory foam and polyester are made through chemical processes, consider your own allergies and chemical sensitivities when selecting a pillow type.

Quality of any fill matters to comfort, support and time of living of your pillow. This is also reflected in the price.

Health conditions may mean that a "normal" pillow may not be your best choice.

How to choose the best pillow: a guide

Why you should start to think about your pillow?

Most people focus primary on their mattresses.

Why? Simple answer – money. When you buy your mattress it is a large financial investment. You would like to have a nice good night rest so you think about the best mattress for you.

You might not know that your sleep quality depends strongly on your pillow, too.

Chosing the best pillow for you is as important as the quality of the mattress, and for people with neck pain or back problems even more important than that.

How to choose your best pillow – a step by step guide:

What’s your main position when sleeping?

Do you know which position you tend to sleep at night? Try to observe your sleeping position and decide what is your most preferred position in bed:

Do you spend most of your night’s sleep:

  1. On your back
  2. On your side
  3. On your stomach

You don’t know? Don’t worry

How to discover your favorite sleeping position:

Think how do you fall asleep, what is your position at that moment. When you’re ready to fall asleep change your position from your back to your side, and to your stomach. Check what feels most comfortable.

Observe what is your position when you wake up in the morning.

Make these observations for a few days to be sure that you know what is your most preferred sleeping position.

Do not worry if you cannot decide. You could be a mixed sleeper, changing your position many times throughout the night.

 

Your preferred sleeping position determines the shape of the best pillow for you:

If you are a back sleeper

You don’t want your pillow to be too thick, or it will push your head too far forward. It should be medium thick and it can not be too soft. If your mattress is very soft try a pillow with firm bottom to prevent your head to sink down into the mattress.

If you are a stomach sleeper

You spend most of your night sleep on your stomach, so to keep your neck more in line with your spine you need a very soft, rather flat pillow. You could also try to sleep without a pillow at all!

If you are a side sleeper

You need a pillow to support your neck in a straight line with the rest of your spine, to avoid neck pain. You need a thick, firm pillow to relax your shoulders. These pillows are made in special shapes that provide additional support and stability for your head and neck. Cervical and contour pillows may help against neck and back pain
