SleepCosee’s Pillow Buying Guide | Never Choose The Wrong Pillow Again

By Dhiraj Gupta

Not everyone prioritises using a pillow buying guide nor do they realize its importance. Pillows are white, soft and rectangular but are these the only differentiating factors? NO.

A pillow that’s perfect for you might be extremely uncomfortable for a different person based on their sleeping habits and positions.

There is no “one perfect pillow” that can suit everyone but it depends on an individual’s personal needs and preferences.

An average human being spends a third of his life in bed which makes pillows an important accessory. Failing to choose the right one could result in restlessness, strain and neck pains.

So how do you know if you’re choosing the right pillow for you? This comprehensive guide is all you need for your next pillow purchase day!

1.WHAT DO YOU PREFER? HOT OR COLD?

The materials with which the pillows are made determine their temperature. Some pillow materials dissipate heat while others tend to store them. If you find yourself waking up sweaty every morning, pillows made from solid foam might not be the ones for you.

You can try using polyester or SleepCosee’s Quilted Microfibre Pillows that can stay cool all night by dissipating heat.

If you’d like your pillows to store your body heat to keep you warm, high-quality memory foam pillows can do the job.

2.WHAT’S YOUR SLEEPING POSITION?

Not everyone would prefer the same sleeping positions and we are about to explore the different pillow options in this pillow buying guide. Some are side-sleepers while some are back sleepers.

This makes it important to choose pillows that don’t cause neck pains while also keeping your spine aligned.

Not to forget that they must also be soft and comfy. A pillow that protects your neck could still cause you back pains.

If you’re a back sleeper, it is important to not choose huge pillows that might arch your head forward. Instead, you can choose medium-sized pillows that fit behind your head without hyper-extending them.

If you’re a side sleeper, you must opt for pillows that keep your ears aligned with your shoulders. This will keep your neck from getting overextended causing neck pains in the future.

If you’re a stomach sleeper, the gap between your face and the floor has to be minimal. You can choose thin pillows that are soft as they would keep your neck in a neutral position.

3.WHAT’S YOUR PREFERRED PILLOW FILLING?

Pillows come with different fillings with each having its own properties and texture which we are about to cover in this pillow buying guide. The fillings would decide if your pillows are going to be fluffy or flat.

It also determines your pillow’s lifespan as some fillings are machine-washable while others cannot be.

Before you wash them, it is important to check the labels of the pillows you buy. You could also be allergic to certain pillow fillings.

Down Fillings are one of the fluffiest pillow filling options in the market. If you’re on a budget, you can also choose a down-feather combo filling that’s a tad bit inexpensive but also less fluffy.

If you are allergic to feathers or down, you can opt for its synthetic filling alternative that is way cheaper than down.

Memory Foam Pillows are a recent sensation that can last for longer periods without losing their fluffiness. They are available in solid and shredded versions that can give you the feeling of your head sinking into the pillow.

Latex filling is the last filling category that we’ll be seeing in our pillow buying guide. Latex pillows give out a rubbery odour which people may not like but are still popular for their bouncy property.

CONCLUSION

An important subject that most pillow buying guides don’t talk about is knowing when to replace your pillows. Over time your pillows are going to get saggy and dirty because they are accumulating sweat, dust and dead skin cells every night.

In a matter of months, your pillows might not give your head and neck the same support that they gave when they were new.

Once you find your pillows losing their form, it is time to buy a new one. Using a well-made pillow protector can also help you extend your pillow’s lifespan.

HATE YOUR VOICE? KNOW FROM AN EXPERT !

Image
  Are you one of those who cover their ears after listening to your own voice? Did often ask yourself why? A very known explanation for this is that because we commonly hear our own voice while speaking or communicating, which means we get to hear both sounds transferred to our ears externally by air conduction and sound transferred internally via bones. The bone generation sound delivers rich low frequencies that are not added to air-conducted vocal sound. So when you hear your own recorded voice you listen to it without these frequencies, i.e, it sounds different and higher. But only the professionals can give the right explanation about it. Here is the expert’s explanation that www.hearingaidsdelhi.com/ compiled to give educative facts. According to Susan Hughes, an evolutionary psychologist at Albright College, “When you hear your own recording, people are often vexed by it, they don’t like the way it sounds — they think they sound high pitched or just awkward.” This is a case ...
