Selection of right pillow for your better health

Oct 03, 2024
Selection of right pillow for your better health

Does your neck pain persist after changing the mattress? If so, have you considered the role of your pillow? This small, fluffy piece of bedding plays a significant part in maintaining proper body posture while you sleep. Sleep is a vital time when your brain clears toxins from the body, so having a good pillow that aligns with your body and mattress is essential for undisturbed, restful sleep.

It’s crucial to know when to replace your pillow. As a general rule, bed pillows need to be replaced after about 18 months. Memory foam pillows last up to 3 years, while synthetic pillows should be swapped out sooner than those made from natural materials. If your pillow has been in use for over 5 years, it's definitely time for a change.

Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Pillow:

  • If your pillow is stained from sweat, torn, or smells unpleasant, it's a sign that it's time for a new one. While 18 months might seem short, a pillow used for 8 hours each night accumulates around 2,500 hours of use per year. During that time, it can collect dead skin cells, mold, and dust mites—all of which can cause allergies, skin rashes, and other health issues.
  • Try the fold test: Fold your pillow in half. If it stays folded rather than springing back to its original shape, it’s no longer providing the support you need.

Choosing the Right Pillow for Your Sleeping Style:

  • Side Sleepers: A firm pillow is recommended, as this style creates a significant gap between the shoulder and ear. The pillow should adequately support the neck and head to keep them aligned.
  • Back Sleepers: It's advisable to maintain the natural curve of the spine with a combination of soft and firm materials. The pillow should be 4 to 6 inches off the bed to provide relief from neck and back strain.
  • Stomach Sleepers: Most stomach sleepers prefer not to use a pillow, but this can cause additional stress on the neck and back. A flat pillow is the ideal choice for this sleep position.

Many people are not aware of the different types of pillow fillings available, each with unique benefits:

  • Down Pillows: Filled with duck or goose fibers, these soft and lightweight pillows are often combined with synthetic materials. While comfortable, they can trigger allergies if the filling is of poor quality.
  • Cotton Pillows: Naturally hypoallergenic and widely available, cotton pillows do not attract mold or dust mites. They come in both firm and soft varieties.
  • Memory Foam Pillows: These pillows retain body heat and contour to the shape of your head, neck, and shoulders, offering excellent support.
  • Wool Pillows: Resistant to dust mites and mold, wool pillows also regulate body temperature by absorbing moisture.

Apart from the standard options, specialized pillows like water pillows, cool pillows, cervical pillows, and maternity pillows are available for specific needs.

Residents of Morrinsville, consider these options when selecting the best pillow for you and your loved ones to ensure good health and restful sleep.
