ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS TO HELP YOU FIND THE PERFECT PILLOW

Do you know that the journey of pillows dates back to prehistoric humans? They, too, needed things to support their head and neck in various ways, be it on a block of wood or stone. However, as hurting as it sounds, it was uncomfortable.

Since then, pillows have evolved; one can be traced to Mesopotamia, where the upper-class folks stacked pillows one after another to show off their wealth. Again, this wasn’t comfortable as well. However, it was the Greeks and Romans who came up with softer and kinder pillows that were filled with feathers and straw. This is marked as a sign of improvement. After evolving for so many years, people now use pillows of high-density foam, buckwheat, and micro-beads.

There are so many kinds of pillows today that choosing the right one is a task. It would help if you bought a pillow where your head is perfectly propped in. Here are a few essential questions to help you reach your ideal pad.

WHAT’S YOUR GO-TO SLEEP POSITION?

Good sleep comes from good sleep posture; that is, your body should align with your knees, hips, spine to the chest, and shoulder. If your neck doesn’t get the right support, it will leave you cranky when you wake up because of the straining and discomfort. There are a few guidelines for the different types of sleepers:

If you are a side sleeper, then you should choose pillows that are firm and thick. While for Stomach snoozers, you can skip pads, period, or opt for a soft, thin one. Lastly, the Back sleepers require flatter, supportive pillows to keep the head and neck where they should be.

WHAT TYPE OF MATTRESS DO YOU USE?

Mattress and pillow go hand in hand. It is sensible to use a softer pillow if you are sleeping on a firm mattress, but if you are sleeping on a softer mattress, then go for a firm pillow. This will keep your sleep posture aligned.

WHAT IS YOUR BUDGET?

Don’t run after cheap pillows, as they can’t be used for many years. One squeeze, and you can feel its lump texture. Down pillows are wonderful, but they tend to be more expensive than synthetic pillows. If you want a mid-ranged pillow, choose a good foam pillow. You don’t always have to spend too much money on the pillow, as you should be prepared to use and ditch occasionally.

IS IT THE RIGHT TIME TO REPLACE YOUR PILLOW?

Before laying your hands on a new pillow, you should check your current pad. Check if it is as fluffy as it used to be; does it bounce back? If your pillow stays the way it was from the beginning and doesn’t smell foul, then hang on to your old pillow. But if the answer no to all the above questions is no, then it’s time to replace it. Anyway, a pad should be replaced every two or three years.

Ask yourself the right question to buy the right pillow. Also, a bonus tip: a pillow protector is your best friend; get one to breathe easily.
