March into Comfort: Choosing the Perfect Pillows for a Luxurious Night's Sleep

As we welcome the new month, let’s march into complete comfort - see what we did there? One of the most essential pieces of your bed ensemble is your pillow. After all, this is what provides important support and comfort for your head. Because of that, it’s wise not to overlook the qualities of your pillow when choosing the right one for you. Let’s take a look at the factors to consider when looking for a new pillow, especially our award-winning pillow.

Support

Arguably the most important factor, the support your pillow provides is a key element in how well you sleep, thus how much better you will feel each day. Regardless of whether you prefer a firm or soft pillow, it is imperative that it props your head up sufficiently and comfortably so your neck, head, and back are aligned. This will enable your body to rest at its most natural position and allow you to get proper sleep, each and every night. For proper alignment, a good rule of thumb to follow is to choose a firm pillow if you are a side sleeper, soft pillow if you are a stomach sleeper, and medium-firm pillow if you are a back sleeper.

Comfort

Of course, you should choose a pillow that is comfortable for YOU. Everyone has their own definition of comfort, so keep this in mind when looking for your next pillow. Choose the level of softness that works for your body. If you are in between and do not necessarily like your pillow to be too firm or too soft, try a medium-firm pillow for the perfect balance of comfort and support.

Material

As you lay your head on your pillow every night, you are in close contact with the material of the outer shell. So, you want to ensure you choose a pillow that is made from natural materials like cotton cambric or cotton sateen. Also, always check to make sure that all of your bedding is OEKO-Tex certified so you can be certain that you are not sleeping on any unwanted chemicals. 

Fill

The best fill of your pillow really comes down to preference, however we recommend choosing a down or down alternative pillow for quality comfort and support that is made to keep you comfortable and warm all night long. Some other pillows like memory foam and latex are common options, but can be difficult to care for and sometimes hard to get the perfect conformity. Down creates a cocoon of comfort around your head and moves with you as you sleep for constant support that’s made to last.
