How do I know if I need a new pillow?
If you have to ask, you probably do. If you are not getting a good night's sleep, this may be the culprit. A good pillow will support your head in natural alignment with your spine, thus providing you with a more comfortable, better night's sleep.
How long does a pillow last?
With normal use and care a natural fill pillow can last up to 10 years. A synthetic pillow, on the other hand, doesn't usually exceed a couple of years. Depending on your habits, people who toss and turn all night will be harder on their pillow than a gentle sleeper.
How can I make my pillow last longer?
The key is to use a pillow protector. It keeps impurities, such as oil, dirt and moisture, from seeping in and allowing the pillow to get flat, lumpy and dirty. Some pillow protectors have treatments that can protect the pillow from dust mites, mold, and mildew.
I'm an allergy sufferer, so is it better to use a synthetic pillow?
Not always. You are most likely not allergic to the down but to the dust and dander on the down in the pillow. Many down pillows are put through an extensive cleaning process to ensure it is allergy-free. Always read your pillow's packaging.
How do I know what level of firmness to use?
A new pillow should be selected based on the position you start your night's sleep. As a rule of thumb it goes like this: medium for back sleepers, firm for side, and soft for stomach.
