Choosing the right pillow…

The right pillow is essential for a comfortable and healthy night’s sleep. Finding the perfect pillow for you comes down to your shape and size and the position you sleep in.

When should I buy a new pillow?

A pillow’s normal life span is just two to four years. Pillows have a much shorter life than duvets because they’re flattened by the weight of our heads. Once pillows start to go, they no longer give the support you need and can become very unhygienic.

Here are some signs that your pillow needs replacing:

Your pillow is discolored

We lose up to a pint of sweat each night. This inevitably dirties and stains your pillow cover and allows unhealthy bacteria to grow inside the filling.

You wake up with neck ache

It may be because your pillow has become flat or lumpy and no longer supports your neck as it should. It may also mean that you have the wrong pillow for your sleeping style.

You wake up wheezy or with a runny or blocked nose

You may be allergic to house dust mites living in your pillow. New pillows are dust mite free.

Once a week, pop your pillows in a tumble dryer for 15 minutes
to kill dust mites and freshen and fluff them.
