How to choose a pillow that your head – and body – love

Pillows filled with down and feathers, can have mixed fillings to create different effects. More down makes for a softer and fluffier feel that’s lightweight, whereas more feathers create a more resilient, heavier pillow. All down & feather pillows absorb moisture and allow air to circulate, giving you a dry, breathable sleeping environment. They are easily machine-washed at 60°C, the temperature that keeps dust mites away.

Our polyester pillows are pliable and springy, they easily plump back into shape, providing good support for your head. They also insulate well, creating a cosy sleep environment, and are hypoallergenic so are a great solution for people with any kind of allergy. Caring for them is a breeze, simply pop them in the machine.

Our ergonomic pillows all have a memory foam filling. By responding to your body shape and temperature, it moulds to the shape of your head and neck, helping your muscles relax properly. The result? You move around less, with a ventilation layer allowing air to circulate while you sleep. All the covers are washable while the memory foam inside simply needs to be aired to keep it fresh.

Are you a side, back or stomach sleeper? Whichever way you slumber, your head, neck and spine should be aligned in a straight line for maximum comfort and good spine health. This is why pillow height matters. Different heights support different sleep positions in the correct alignment. Here’s how:

• Side or back sleepers
  When you sleep on your side or your back, your head needs to be lifted higher to accommodate your shoulders or be in correct alignment with your back. A high pillow helps nicely here.
• For stomach sleepers
  Sleeping on your stomach can cause pressure on your back and neck, so we don’t recommend a high pillow. Go for a low one to keep your neck in a good position.

All our pillows come in a range of heights and fillings so it’s easy to choose the one that works with your sleep style. Look out for the symbols next to the pillow descriptions to see which sleep position it works best for you. Your head – and body – will thank you for it!
