How to choose the right pillow

For a truly peaceful and rejuvenating rest, the pillow is an indispensable ally. Sleeping with the right pillow allows the correct alignment of the spinal column during sleep, prevents the occurrence of possible tension, and helps to alleviate existing pain.

People often ask how to choose the right pillow: it all depends on the characteristics of the person and their needs. There is no such thing as the perfect pillow, but rather the product best suited to the particular customer. With this in mind, several elements of the pillow can be evaluated, such as shape, height and softness.

Comfort and well-being with the right pillow

When choosing the right pillow, it is important to first consider the position in which one sleeps. Those who spend the night on their stomach or side can opt for a pillow of medium height, while those who sleep in a prone position (on their stomach) should prefer a lower pillow. The correct height of the pillow contributes to the well-being of the spinal column.

The degree of softness also affects pillow comfort: some people prefer a harder pillow and others feel better with a support that adapts to the shape of the body. Those who suffer from neck or back pain can try a cervical pillow, specially designed to reduce tension and avoid stiffness and muscle contractures.

Another element to consider when choosing the right pillow is night sweating. Those who suffer from heat during sleep should prefer a pillow made of cool, breathable materials and with washable covers, to maintain a pleasant temperature and always be sure of maximum hygiene.

Finally, it is fundamental to remember that between pillow, mattress and anatomical support there is a close relationship of interdependence: if the mattress is more yielding or soft, the shoulder support will require a lower pillow height, while on the contrary, if the mattress is more supportive, a pillow of a height suited to the conformation of the shoulders should be considered.
