Making the Most of Your Bed: Part Three

There are three factors to consider when picking out pillows for your traditional bed.

Do you sleep on your side or your back?

Foam pillows are the most stable and are the right choice for you if you sleep on your side or your back, because they keep your neck in a neutral position. Neck muscles can tense up if your neck doesn’t maintain its natural curve, which could lead to headaches. If you sleep on your side, choose a contoured version of a foam pillow (the front mound fills in the gap between your neck and shoulder).

Or are you most comfortable on your stomach?

Density isn’t as import if you sleep on your stomach (because your neck requires less support in this position), so choose a down pillow. Down compresses easily so when you move your neck in your sleep air passages won’t be restricted.

Do you suffer from allergies?

Down isn’t the right choice for you, as dust mites burrow into down. Invest in a miteproof cover.
