A Guide to Pillow Types

At the end of a long day, nothing compares to resting your head on the right pillow. To find that perfect match, you need to understand your personal sleep needs and preferences.

Material Options

What are the fill materials and their benefits?

• Down pillows are luxurious, soft, light, and durable.
• Down/Feather mix pillows balance softness and firmness for added support.
• Synthetic pillows are practical, hypoallergenic, and budget-friendly.
• Memory foam pillows conform to your head and neck shape.
• Cooling pillows are made with temperature-regulating, breathable materials to keep you cool.

Use-Based Pillows

Sometimes, you need a little more from your pillow. Orthopedic pillows provide ergonomic comfort for your head, neck, and spine. Wedge pillows are great for reading, relaxing, or improving posture.

Sleeping Positions

• Side and back sleepers benefit from medium to firm pillows that support the neck and keep the head in line with the spine.
• Stomach sleepers need soft, low-profile pillows to prevent neck pain.

Pro tip: If you sleep on your side, use a second pillow between your knees to keep your spine aligned.

Size Options

Sizes range from toddler-sized to king-size. A standard size works well for a single sleeper. Queen pillows are a versatile favorite, while king pillows add that extra luxe vibe to larger beds.

Firmness Levels

Soft pillows feel cloudlike and provide some gentle cushioning. Medium firmness is appropriate for most sleep styles. For max support, firm pillows help keep your neck and spine aligned. The trick is figuring out what’s right for you.

Choosing the Right Pillow

The pillow you sleep on impacts how well you sleep, how your body feels when you wake up, and even your overall posture. The right bed pillow keeps your spine properly aligned and reduces tension in your neck. It also relieves pressure points by conforming to the contour of your head and neck for a deeper, more restorative sleep. What to look for: If you need extra support for your head and neck, choose a firm pillow. Soft pillows are better for those who like a plush, sink-in feel. Unsure which one’s right for you? A medium-firm option would offer a good level of head-neck stability while still providing comfort.

Care Tips

Taking good care of your bedroom pillows will help keep them stay fresh for a longer time. Most types can be washed, but you should always check the care label first. Machine-washable pillows need to be cleaned on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Memory foam or specialty pillows tend to require spot cleaning. Dry on low in the dryer or air-dry thoroughly to avoid mold and odors. Did you know? Pillows should be replaced every 1 to 2 years or sooner if they lose shape or supportive function.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right pillow for my sleep position?

For people who sleep on their sides or backs, choose medium to firm pillows. For stomach sleepers, soft pillows are a better choice in order to prevent neck problems.

Which is better: firm or soft pillows?

For additional head and neck support, get a firm pillow. It is better to use soft pillows if you need only light cushioning. If not sure, a medium-firm option offers a decent mix of stability and comfort.

How many pillows should you sleep with?

In general, you should sleep with one pillow under your head. However, if you sleep on your side, by placing a second pillow between your knees, you can maintain the alignment of your spine.
