Choosing the right pillow height

A pillow that provides the correct support is a key factor in getting the best night's sleep possible. You may blame your bed or mattress for a bad sleep or sore neck, but it could very well be a wrong pillow. Our collection allows you to choose the right amount of fill for you - we offer pillows in four different heights: low, medium, high, and extra high. When selecting the right pillow height, you should keep in mind that your spinal coloumn should be completely straight. The best pillow height therefore differ depending on your preferred sleeping position.

The best pillow for side sleepers

If you sleep on your side, the right pillow should help protect your back and neck. A good side sleeper pillow is a medium to high and full pillow that can fill the space between your head and the mattress and provide good support for your head. A firm pillow is preferable for side sleepers, since the filling must stay in place to keep your head from falling.

The best pillow for back sleepers

If you prefer to sleep on your back, your pillow should provide support primarily to your neck. A pillow with low to medium height will help achieve the correct sleeping posture. You can also consider a specialist pillow in foam or latex, as it provides additional support under the neck.

The best pillow for stomach sleepers

Generally, sleeping on your stomach is not advised, as it creates an unnatural bend in your neck. It is beneficial for you to try to sleep on your back or on your side instead. If that is not possible, your pillow should be as soft and flat as possible to reduce the bend in your neck.

Pillows with adjustable height

Pillows with a natural filling primarily consists of down and feather. Natural filling is typically soft and easy to move around within the pillow, making it easy to adjust the pillows height. This is especially beneficial if you switch between sleeping on your back and on your side.

Maintenance and care of your pillows

Generally, your pillow should be washed 2-4 a year. How to wash and care for your pillow depends on the type of filling.

Most of our pillows with natural or fibre filling can be machine washed - make sure to always check the washing instructions for the individual pillow. If your pillow has a natural filling, use an enzyme-free detergent, as ordinary detergents contain enzymes which remove the natural fat from feathers and down. If you suffer from dust mite allergy, you should purchase a pillow that can be washed at 60 degrees C, as dust mites cannot survive at this temperature. Dry the pillow in the dryer together with two or three dryer balls to make sure the filling is evenly distributed and doesn't clump together.

Foam pillows cannot be washed. However, some foam pillows come with a removable cover that can be washed. If you need to clean a foam pillow, wipe it lightly with a damp cloth. A latex pillow can be machine washed, but should stay in the cover at all times. It should be washed in a full machine and centrifuged at maximum 1000rpm. A latex pillow must be tumble dried.
