Which material do you prefer?
At IKEA, we have pillows made from either natural or synthetic materials. Pillows made with down or feathers will give you a more natural sleeping experience, while synthetic materials may be better, for example, for people suffering from allergies. Below, we explain the characteristics of each material, so you can decide which is the best type of pillow for you.
Microfibre pillows
Polyester pillows weigh less, and are softer and smoother. Some of these pillows contain a filling called Lyocell, a material made from cellulose, which has improved breathability. Such pillows are also hypo-allergenic.
Memory foam pillows
Memory foam and foam pillows provide excellent support for the head and neck. They also help your muscles to relax, which means that you move around less in your sleep and relax better. Our memory foam pillows have removable pillowcases so you can wash them easily.
Natural pillows
You will feel the authentic pleasures of the world of nature with our pillows made from natural materials. Down and feather pillows are very comfortable and extremely restful for the head. They are very durable and provide perfect support. These materials also allow the pillow to breathe and absorb moisture.
The right firmness
What type of firmness suits you best?
If you are concerned about firmness, at IKEA you can find pillows of varying degrees of firmness. We have firm pillows that contain a larger volume of filling for people who prefer this type of pillow, but we also offer pillows of average firmness that have a softer filling and exterior.
A layer of gel to regulate your temperature
Hot or cold
Our KRÅKKLÖVER ergonomic pillow contains a layer of cooling gel on one side for when the nights are warmer, and memory foam on the other side for colder nights.
The layer of gel has low thermal conductivity, and so takes a longer time to heat up. Combined with a cloth pillowcase, this creates a cooler surface to sleep on.
