How to choose a pillow? 5 tips for the right choice

Here's how to choose the pillow...of your dreams!

Some people prefer it high, low, hard and some soft. The pillow is the key to having sweet dreams. In fact, how many times have you had to start your day with neck pain and a severe headache? Often, the problem is not only related to our emotional state, but to a wrong choice of pillow.

For a restorative sleep, in fact, it is not enough just to get rid of bad thoughts. You also need to rely on the right supports, thus the characteristics of the mattress and pillow are paramount.

Here is our indications to help you understand how to choose the right pillow and have no more nightmares!

Why is the pillow so important?

The head, neck and spine must be well aligned to ensure good rest, which is why sleeping without a pillow is bad for you, as is using the wrong one. 

In fact, the pillow provides good support for the head, helping to keep the spine in the correct position and consequently promoting muscle relaxation and good breathing. 

5 tips for making the right purchase

There is no such thing as the perfect pillow, but the one that best suits your needs does. So here's what you need to think about to figure out how to choose the right pillow for you. 

First of all, position. Experts tell us that the absolute best position for sleeping is supine, but as long as you choose the right pillow: again, you need to provide proper support to the spine, for example with a memory pillow, which is stiffer but can adapt to the shape of the body even in a side or fetal position, which often causes neck and shoulder pain. Sleeping upside down is, on the other hand, strongly discouraged, but if you really can't help yourself, still choose a memory pillow and mattress, which ensure adequate support.

Beware of hardness and height. A pillow that is too thick or stiff causes the head to tilt upward, while one that is too soft or thin tilts it downward: in both cases, it goes off axis with the rest of the body, causing uncomfortable neck pain. 

Choose the material. If you are looking for a more traditional product, opt for natural fibers and polyester, which make the pillow soft and comfortable; if you are ready for a more innovative material, try memory foam, which is elastic and flexible. 

Quality. Whether it is made of fiber or memory foam, more or less rigid, tall or thinner, the important thing is that the pillow is quality, thus, it is produced following certain standards and provides good head support. 

Ask for a consultation. Only you can tell if a pillow is suitable for your habits, physical characteristics and preferences, but taking professional advice is very important to understand all the features of the various models available on the market.
