The three most comfortable pillow shapes
Pillows are much more than just something that you lay your head on at night. By choosing a pillow that provides you with comfort and keeps your neck and head aligned, you can ensure you get a good night’s sleep. Whether you prefer to fill your pillows with natural or synthetic filling, these three pillow shapes will provide you with the comfort you need to sleep soundly.
1. The U-shape pillow
Not only is the pillow shape comfortable for when you sleep but the shape provides a good neck rest for when you are sitting upright and reading or looking at a device. As this pillow relieves pressure to many parts of the body, the need to toss and turn in the night is reduced. The U-shape creates the perfect resting spot for your neck and is best for people who suffer from back, neck and shoulder pan. If you are looking to purchase a U-shape pillow we recommend looking around to find a length that is suitable for your body type. The pillowcase fabric that Over60 love on this pillow shape is cotton.
2. The European pillow
This pillow provides the perfect comfort for doing daily tasks such as watching TV and sitting in the loungeroom. Although this pillow isn’t generally used to support your head while sleeping, it is definitely worth considering investing in a European pillow to have on your bed if you enjoy extra pillows. If you need to elevate a certain body part due to swelling or you back requires extra support while you rest, this pillow is the perfect size to support your body even further. As this is a multi-purpose pillow be sure to regularly clean the pillowcase for best use.
3. The standard medium pillow
There is a reason that this pillow is the popular option when purchasing a night pillow. Although it is a standard pillow it is still important to purchase the size and filling that is best for your body. Pillows should adjust to fit your shape, curves and sleeping position and to also alleviate any pressure points.
Most pillows last for roughly two years so be sure to replace your pillow if it doesn’t bounce back to its original shape when you fold it in half.
