The pillow during sleep performs an important support function and should not be soft, not solid. The size and material of the pillow is also important.
Supporting the head in the position of lying on the back or side, as well as removing the tension of the cervical vertebrae are the most important functions that the pillow should perform at night. Decisive for a calm sleep is the material of the pillow filler, for example, latex or fluff.
The correct choice of a pillow depends, among other things, on individual habits and physique.
People with narrow shoulders in a lying position on their side rather need a low pillow.
Anyone who is used to sleeping on the stomach should, if possible, generally abandon the pillow. The pillow should also not be very heavy so that it can be easily pushed under the shoulders.
The classic filler for the pillow consists of a mixture of fluff and feathers. For optimal comfort, the ratio of filler data is important. The fluff makes the pillow elastic, and the feathers give the necessary support. If the pillow is packed for the most part with feathers, then it will be stiff.
Latex pillows are a novelty. They adapt well to the shape of the head.
An alternative to two pillow fillers of the pillows are small polyester balls, which perfectly fit the head and back of the head.
If you prefer natural material, you can choose a filling of elastic cut wool, spel, cotton or trap (silk cotton).
The choice is yours. Pleasant dreams to you!
