The right pillow: 4 tips for better sleep
A restful night's sleep starts with the right pillow – and that's often where the problem lies.
The wrong pillow can have more consequences than you might think: restless nights, a tense neck, lack of rest. That's why today we're giving you four simple but effective tips on how to find your perfect pillow.
1. Your sleeping position is crucial
Depending on how you sleep, you need different levels of support. Side sleepers should make sure their pillow is the right height so that their neck is in a straight line. Back sleepers need a medium-height pillow that supports the head without raising it. Stomach sleepers usually do better with a flat pillow or even no pillow at all to relieve pressure on the cervical spine.
2. The material makes the difference
The filling of your pillow determines how it feels and how much support it provides. Memory foam and Technogel adapt perfectly to the shape of your head and neck and offer ergonomic support.
If you prefer a soft and cosy feel, choose a feather or down pillow – but bear in mind that these offer slightly less support.
3. Consider your body type
A strong build, especially with broad shoulders, usually requires a higher pillow. Those who are more slender are better off with a flatter model. The mattress also plays a role here – the softer it is, the deeper the body sinks in, which in turn requires a lower pillow.
4. Don't forget care and durability
A good sleeping partner should also be easy to care for. Therefore, look for removable, washable covers or a completely washable pillow. This will keep your pillow hygienically fresh and accompany you through your nights for as long as possible.
Conclusion:
A pillow is not just a pillow. It is an important building block for your sleep quality.
Test your ideal pillow for a week – conveniently and without obligation in your own home. This will help you find out which model really suits you.
