Discover the benefits of polyester pillows: soft, supportive, and hypoallergenic
Get comfortable, relaxed and drift off to sleep with a polyester pillow from IKEA. We offer soft and firm pillows for back, stomach or side sleepers in a variety of shapes and sizes.
Pillows need to be soft enough to be comfortable, but also firm enough to provide support. They should also be breathable, easy to clean, hypoallergenic and resistant to moisture. That’s why synthetic materials such as polyester make for great pillows. They are made of ultra-thin threads of polyester and nylon which are tightly woven together at between 180 to 280 threads per square inch. This makes the pillow naturally antimicrobial, and a good choice if you suffer from allergic reactions.
Synthetic materials also naturally repel moisture, which is an important quality for many reasons. For one, this helps keep you dry during the night, and secondly, it makes pillows easy to machine wash and keep fresh. Micro-, hollow- and polyester-based pillows achieve all this while also providing softness and support to rival feather, down and memory foam pillows.
How to maintain your polyester pillows?
To get the most out of your polyester pillows, proper care is crucial. Here are some tips to keep them in good condition:
- Fluff regularly: Give your pillows a good shake and fluff them up daily to prevent clumping and maintain their shape.
- Use a pillow protector: Protect your pillows from dirt and oil by using a pillow protector. This can also help extend their lifespan.
- Wash with care: Follow the manufacturer's instructions for washing. Use a gentle cycle and mild detergent. Avoid high heat when drying to prevent damage.
- Air out: Occasionally, let your pillows air out in the sun to keep them fresh and free from odours.
Choosing the right pillow for you
The softness, firmness and shape of your pillow should be determined by your sleeping habits. Pillows are designed to provide different support depending on your normal sleeping position. A good pillow should keep your head at a position and angle like when you’re standing up with perfect posture.
A firm and high pillow is usually designed for back or side sleepers, because your head will need more support to be perfectly aligned. Softer pillows are generally meant for stomach sleepers, since that position requires less firmness to achieve the required neck support.
Make sure to read the product description to learn the intended sleeping position of each pillow.
