PRODUCT GUIDE


Pillows


How to pick the best pillow for your needs: The first thing to consider when looking for a new pillow is how you naturally sleep. The purpose of your pillow is to hold your head and neck squarely in line with your spine throughout the night—and that means each sleep position has different support needs.


• Side sleepers should look for taller, slightly firmer pillows that will fit snugly in the space between the ear and the end of the shoulder.


• Back sleepers should look for a slightly shorter pillow that cradles the head.


• Stomach sleepers should look for a flatter, softer pillow that does not crane the neck back.


Pillows come in many different materials: • Down: softer, more mutable (note: if you have allergies, you should avoid down materials as they can aggravate your symptoms)


• Memory foam: firmer, molds to your head • Latex foam: bouncier, cradles your head • Shredded foam: softer, contours to your head • Polyester fiber: flatter, less springy


Once you find the right shape and material, you can explore different comfort options:


• If you sleep hot, look for—cooling technologies like gel foam and temperature regulating fabrics


• If you have trouble relaxing for bed, look for—soothing aromatherapy infusions


• If you snore or wake up with a stuffy nose, look for—anti-allergen treatments, washable options and products that tout greater airflow


Shopping Tip


Your head goes directly on your pillow every night, which means it will in- evitably absorb things like sweat and drool over time. As such, you should be replacing it more frequently than you might expect. The National Sleep Foundation rec- ommends every 18 months.
