Restful sleep at last: which pillow is right for me?

Nothing is more important for a good and restful sleep than the right pillow. But which pillow is right for me? Experts have long known that not every pillow is suitable for everyone: back sleepers, for example, need a different pillow to side sleepers, and allergy sufferers need to pay attention to different criteria than people with a tense neck. The right filling is also very important: the inside can consist of classic down, cereal husks, polyester or even water. Experts recommend buying the pillow from a specialist retailer - many manufacturers now also offer the option of taking it home for testing.

The right pillow is essential for restful sleep

Which pillow for which type of sleeper?

A so-called butterfly pillow is suitable for BODY-SLEEPERS as it provides support for the neck.

A special side sleeper pillow is suitable for SIDE SLEEPERS. This is extra long and provides ideal support for the cervical spine.

IF YOU HAVE NECK PAIN, it is best to use a water pillow. This is best because it adapts perfectly to your head and neck.

FOR ALLERGICS, there are special allergen-tested and boil-proof pillows. These should be washed approximately every four weeks.

FOR BACK SLEEPERS, an ergonomic pillow that adapts to your position thanks to its filling material is suitable.
