Pillows | Latex, Foam and Pocket Sprung
Neck pain, stiff necks and even persistent headaches could simply be the result of poor pillow support while in bed sleeping. A good pillow should hold your head in the correct alignment – that is, in the same relation to your shoulders and spine as if you were standing upright with the correct posture. One that is too soft will allow the head to flop, curving the neck. One that is too hard will give you a crick in the neck.
Pillows come filled with a choice of fillings – polyester, goosedown, duckdown, feather, fibre filled, and visco-elastic, latex or polyurethane foam, gel – and any number of combinations of these. It’s a good idea to invest in quality pillows and replace every two to three years.
Pillows for side sleepers
Pillows for side sleepers are typically a medium to medium-firm comfort rated. This is to offer optimum support to your head and neck while keeping the natural curve of your spine. They are generally deeper pillows also to account for the height of your head above yours shoulders when on your side.
Pillows for back sleepers
Pillows for back sleepers are most often a medium comfort rated. They help to avoid craning your neck yet at the same time keep you gently cushioned. These pillows are generally a lower profile to reduce the bending of your spine whilst sleeping on your back.
Choosing the best pillow for you
When choosing your perfect pillow think about how you sleep, what you like, and what you dislike about your current pillow. Are you looking for pillows to ease neck pain, or a pillow that stays cool throughout the night? Different pillow fillings significantly change how a pillow feels to sleep on. All our models are available to try in store so you really can feel the difference.
Latex Pillows
Latex pillows are considered a superior choice, thanks to their durability, breathability, and advanced comfort. They can be more expensive than other pillows, but they also tend to last longer, so you'll likely get years of use out of them. Our 100% pure latex pillows offer a natural healthy and unique material to sleep on with a host of benefits. The unique open cell structure of the latex means it is naturally breathable and does not have the associated heat issues of many foams. The microscopic air bubbles promote constant air circulation and natural movement throughout the night helps to ventilate the pillow, keeping your head and neck at a comfortable temperature.
