A good night's sleep starts with the right pillow. Many people underestimate how much of a difference a pillow can actually make to the quality of their sleep. The right pillow provides the right support for your neck and shoulders, prevents pain and ensures that your body gets optimal rest throughout the night. But how do you choose the right pillow from all the options? Here's a simple guide.
When you sleep, your head, neck and spine should be in a natural position. The wrong pillow can cause tension, a stiff neck and restless sleep. A good pillow helps to:

To find the perfect pillow, you should consider your sleeping position, body type, and personal preferences. Side sleepers need a high pillow that fills the space between their shoulders and head, while back sleepers often find comfort with a medium-high pillow that provides the right balance and support.
Stomach sleepers should choose a low pillow or soft down pillow to reduce pressure on the neck. Allergy sufferers should opt for a pillow made of hypoallergenic materials with a washable cover, and for those who sweat a lot, temperature-regulating pillows made of down or special filling are recommended for a better sleeping climate.
SUPPORT & COMFORT NATURAL MATERIALS
The neck pillow contributes to proper support and pressure distribution for the neck and head. This is important for the spine to have the correct angle, blood circulation to increase and the muscles to get the necessary rest.

The open cell structure ensures optimal ventilation and moisture transport, so that the ergonomic neck pillow stays cool and dry throughout the night.
A pillow should normally be replaced every 2–3 years, but this depends on the material, use and maintenance. Down and feather pillows can lose their shape and support over time, while synthetic pillows often hold their shape a little longer. A pillow that has become flat, lumpy or uneven can cause neck and shoulder pain, even if the cover looks nice. Allergy sufferers should replace their pillow more often, because dust, skin cells and allergens accumulate over time. Regular airing and washing of the pillow can extend its lifespan, but after a few years it should be replaced to ensure optimal support and good sleep quality.
If you wake up with neck or shoulder pain, or constantly have to push and shape your pillow, it may be time to change your pillow.
Down provides a soft and luxurious feel, while synthetic pillows are often firmer, less expensive and hypoallergenic for those who cannot tolerate down.
Most synthetic pillows can be machine washed. Down pillows should be shaken out regularly and washed gently according to the manufacturer's instructions.
How to wash your down pillow:
Use mild detergent – Avoid fabric softeners as they can reduce the down's ability to retain air.
Wash at low temperature – As a rule, 40°C with a gentle cycle is recommended.
Rinse well – Make sure all detergent is out, otherwise the down may clump.
Dry thoroughly – Use low heat in the dryer with tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps the down to retain its fluffiness. This may take several hours.
Shake and air – After drying, you should shake the pillow and air dry for a few hours for optimal volume and comfort.
Always check the manufacturer's recommendation.
