Pillows

Memory Foam Pillows

Memory foam pillows come highly recommended by sleep experts, particularly for individuals that require a long lasting pillow that offers both softness and support. Additionally, if your neck is sensitive and you would like to avoid sleeping with pressure building up around any one area of your neck, a memory foam pillow could be a sound option as the viscoelastic foam from which they are made can beautifully distribute weight and pressure.

Another feature of memory foam is that it is temperature-sensitive. Once your body heat penetrates the pillow, it will slowly soften and mould around your body, accepting your body's pressure points. This allows you to nestle into your pillow rather than simply lying on top of it.

Bamboo Pillows

A bamboo sleeping pillow is a pillow made with a bamboo-based viscose outer shell and filled with shredded foam for superior comfort and great support. The bamboo viscose exhibits greater strength than other pillow fabric while the shredded foam conforms to your shape as you sleep and results in an improved overall sleep experience.

A pillow made with bamboo is naturally hypoallergenic making it suitable for people who suffer from allergies. Bamboo fiber is extremely light, delicate and breathable which makes it an ideal choice for hot summer nights or warm climates. Bamboo pillows have antimicrobial properties that help eliminate fungus, bacteria and other microorganisms resulting in a more comfortable sleep. The fabric absorbs moisture effectively and helps to neutralize unpleasant odors allowing your pillow to remain clean and fresh for longer periods of time.

Cooling Pillows

Cooling pillows are essentially temperature regulating pillows that work according to a specific technology. Using natural breathable fabrics that prevent hot air from building up, cooling pillows enable air to flow freely throughout the pillow. Natural materials include bamboo, linen, and cotton. Among those, bamboo is scientifically proven to have the lowest thermal conductivity.

Water or gel-based pillows work by transferring heat from your body to the water or gel inside the pillow which makes your skin instantly cooler. The water or gel slowly absorbs the heat from your body until your body (neck, shoulders, and head) and the pillow reach the same temperature, then the cooling effect stops. Overall, the cooling effect typically lasts about 30 minutes.

Body Pillows

A body pillow is a long, narrow pillow that is meant to be cradled between your legs as you sleep on your side. The purpose of a body pillow is to improve spinal alignment and aid in pressure point relief. There are countless benefits from using a body pillow including stress reduction, less tossing and turning and support for new mothers-to-be during pregnancy or afterward when nursing.

Side Sleepers

Side Sleepers should seek a firm style to support the neck and maintain proper spine alignment.

Back Sleepers

Back sleepers should choose a medium support pillow to align the head, neck and shoulder.

Stomach Sleepers

Stomach sleepers should avoid dthick, bulky pillows and opt for a thinner style with soft support.

Down Pillows

Down is soft, yet resilient and provides flexible support where you need it. A well-cared-for down pillow will last longer than synthetic fill, as down will revitalize with regular washing, making it a worthwhile investment.

Feather Pillows

Feather is a less expensive natural fill that generally provides more support than down.

Down Alternative Pillows

Down alternative is a hypoallergenic, synthetic clustered fiber specifically designed to mimic the loft and comfort of down, but is generally a less expensive option and offered in a wide variety of firmness levels.

Memory Foam Pillows

Memory foam is a soft, sponge-like material that contours to your head and neck for customized comfort. Often available with advanced technology, such as cooling and antimicrobial attributes.
