How to pick the perfect pillow to sleep well

The mattress is the key element to sleep well and the pillow is its befitting additional. That’s why in choosing a pillow you should be very careful. What should you pay attention to? Let’s find out together.

What are the features of a pillow? Pros & Cons

A good pillow should have different features to guarantee a relaxing and beneficial rest.

Support

A good pillow should optimally support the head in such a way as to avoid incorrect positions of the neck and of the cervical spine. It’s important that the pillow follows the body movements and gives you excellent support, whatever your sleeping position is.

Heat And Moisture

Is the pillow hot? Before buying a pillow, you should be aware of its heat and moisture management.

If a pillow lacks breathability, it tends to store all the heat produced by the body and is, obviously, slightly cool. Besides, it also tends to retain moisture and not to be dry, producing an uncomfortable and unhealthy sensation. Indeed, a humid environment facilitates the spread of harmful microorganisms.

Apart from the materials, the coating makes the difference, too.

Hygiene

Hygiene is a key factor. Is the pillow produced with hypoallergenic materials which are not responsible for allergies? Does the pillow attract mites and bacteria?

As with the mattress, the organic residues (hair, nails, skin particles, etc…) and not the pillow itself attract mites and bacteria.

However, it’s important to choose a pillow produced with materials that do not contribute to the spread of harmful microorganisms. So be careful about the materials and their features.

What materials should you choose for your pillow?

Let’s start by saying that the old-type pillows with fillings of feathers or wool should be avoided. They are not ergonomic and suitable for heat and moisture management, attracting mites and bacteria.

At first glance, the latex, often considered a “modern” material, could be seen as the perfect solution. However, since the latex is a natural substance, its performances in terms of breathability and hygiene are poor.

Indeed, the latex tends to store heat and humidity, resulting in a wet and unhygienic pillow.

A pillow made of polyurethane foam (foam) guarantees a good support and is hypoallergenic; that is to say it is suitable for everybody and prevents the spread of mites and bacteria.

If covered by a breathable coating, it manages heat and humidity better than a latex pillow.
