What To Look For In A Sleep Pillow

Too many people make the mistake of not putting enough thought into the purchase of sleep pillows. However, this is something that you want to do in order to give yourself the chance of a better night of refreshing sleep. Not sure what to look for in a proper sleep pillow? Here are some of the things that you will want to consider when you start your shopping:

Consider The Type Of Fill Used Insider Of The Pillow

Some of the fills used include down, memory foam, cotton, wool, and latex. The down is available in standard down and hypo-sensitive down for those who have allergies. Memory foam will move and adjust to your shape, while providing a lot of support. Both cotton and wool are great for allergy sufferers as they are resistant to mold and dust mites. Latex pillows hold their shape and are not usually the fluffy kind that you can adjust to meet your needs. However, it is great for those who need the added support for their head or neck.

Find Out What The Fill Power Is

This is an important thing to look into after you have determined the type of fill you want your new sleep pillows to have. The fill power tells you how high in quality the fill is. The higher the number, the better the quality and this should help you determine which pillows are likely to last for a lot longer. Of course, all pillows will eventually need to be replaced with brand new sleep pillows, but it is still something that you will want to take into account.4

Look At The Different Size And Shapes That Are Available

There are the standard size pillows that fit in the standard size pillow cases. Then you have much longer pillows that might suit your needs if you need the extra space. Just make sure that you are buying the proper size of pillow cases for these so you are keeping the pillow material protected from oils from your hair and skin. Also, there are specialty shaped pillows out there that are designed to give optimal support to the head or neck. You might find that you want a few different sizes and shapes of sleep pillows so you have whatever you need when you need it the most.

Make sure that you are purchasing your sleep pillows from a brand or company that you can trust to provide exceptional products. This way, you are less likely to end up disappointed after using the sleep pillows for a few nights.

About Me

I'm Emily, Queen of Hair

When I was little, it didn't take long for me to learn how to do my own hair. I was doing my own pigtails by the time I was 3. I spent a lot of time in front of the mirror every day, and it was all just for my hair! I had the largest collection of hair bows, clips, and flowers. If YouTube existed back then, I would have spent my teenage years watching--and making!--hair tutorials. It was always my dream to go to hair school, but I ended up getting married and having a baby instead. Luckily, I have now found a way to share my love of the world of hair!
