Pillows

A pillow is an integral part of a sleeping place. Well-being and comfortable rest depends on the quality of its tailoring, filler and size.

Now it is not difficult to choose a pillow worthy of attention: advantageous offers from many manufacturers allow you to choose the best option.

Variety of pillows in size, stiffness and filling

Each person has their own preferences regarding the size of the pillow. In many respects, the choice is due to the state of health. For people with osteochondrosis of the cervical spine, the pillow can be salvation or punishment. In this regard, it is necessary to navigate the types and dimensions of these products for sleeping.

Size

As a rule, standard, which allows you to use pillowcases from any set of bedding. There are:

• 70x70;
• 50x50 - for children; there are also non-standard childrens rectangular pillows;
• 50x70 - euro size.

From the above parameters, we see that the pillows can be square or rectangular. Choose the one you like best.

Height

It is recommended to choose the height according to the width of the shoulder. Most of the pillows are aimed at people with standard equipment, their height is 8-14 centimeters. People with impressive growth and wide shoulders, it is better to opt for higher products - from 14 to 17 centimeters.

Stiffness

If you have problems with your back and neck, sleep on soft pillows categorically Not recommended. Instead, orthopedic products designed specifically to better support the head are suitable; hard pillows are also suitable for lovers of sleeping on their sides. Products of medium hardness will appeal to those who sleep on their backs, but soft pillows are best bought for those who prefer to rest on their stomach.

Fillers

The firmness of the pillow and the correct position in time to sleep. All fillers can be divided into two large groups - natural and synthetic origin.

Natural includes:

• down-feather - soft natural products, can be used for a relatively long time without loss of quality ... They need proper care - frequent ventilation, drying and disinfection. In addition, they can cause allergic reactions, they are carefully used by people with asthma;
• wool - camel and sheep are used as filler. The pillows are well ventilated, absorb moisture, they are not hot. Cons: wool eventually knocks into lumps; Do not wash pillows - only dry cleaning; can cause allergies;
• buckwheat husks, herbs, cones - perfectly perform air exchange, are considered orthopedic. Buckwheat husk pillows are now very popular because of their naturalness and beneficial properties. However, it is worth remembering that such products are not without drawbacks: they are heavy, rustling, have a short service life (up to 3 years) and heavy maintenance;
• natural latex is another material that has proven itself remarkably orthopedic. In addition to the high cost, it has no drawbacks: it is natural, keeps its shape, will last up to 15 years;
• bamboo is an excellent option for inexpensive high-quality material. The filler is hypoallergenic, natural, breathes, springy, retains its properties for a long time. Pillows can be washed.

Synthetic fillers are considered to be:

• silicone is a worthy replacement for natural components. It is elastic, soft, breathes, hypoallergenic, washable. Like all unnatural fillers, silicone does not absorb moisture and can become electrified;
• holofiber is an artificial analogue of down-feather. Demonstrates easy care, non-toxic, holds its shape well, has no smell.
• polyester fiber - does not cause allergies, does not roll, pillows can be machine washed. The filler is very soft, therefore it does not hold its head well;
• viscoelastic - belongs to orthopedic fillers. It keeps its shape perfectly, sleeping on such a pillow is very comfortable and convenient. Viscoelastic should not be washed;
• microfiber - the pillows are light and soft, the microfiber structure allows you to stay so throughout the entire period of use. Caring for pillows is easy, the products can withstand washing in a machine;
• swans down - an artificial substitute is practically not inferior to a natural analogue. The pillows are soft, airy, do not cause allergic reactions, and are easily washed. However, they are prone to electrification and do not absorb moisture.

Regardless of what kind of filling for the pillow is used, the care of the products must be carried out in a timely manner. Those pillows for which fillers are washable must be washed at a temperature of 30-40 degrees and naturally dried in a well-ventilated area.
