Where's your head at? It's an important question to ask when you are buying a new pillow. When you spend 1/3 of your life with your head on a pillow, it's important to purchase the right pillow. Experts say comfort is your primary consideration, but it shouldn't be the only factor to consider when buying pillows. You also have to think about neck support, potential allergens and long-term durability.

Not having the right pillow can contribute to headaches, neck pain, shoulder and arm numbness, discomfort, snoring, sneezing, wheezing (trouble breathing) which leads to extra tossing and turning, which leads to lack of quality sleep. How you sleep affects your health, both mentally and physically.
 

• Mentally - not getting good sleep can affect your concentration, memory, mood, and stress levels.
• Physically - not getting good sleep can contribute to aches and pains, preventing healing, fatigue, immune system breakdown, weight gain and more.

Pillows by Fill Type

Soft to firm pillows, determining the type of fill for your pillow is really a personal choice. Most all pillows pretty much look alike -- but if you look underneath the covers you'll find an array of fillings, including soft, down and feathers; latex foam, gel and high-tech memory foam. All pillow types have their pluses and minuses, below you will find different pillow explanations that will help you choose. Discover how comfortable the right pillow can be.

Down Pillow

You should consider your purchase of a down pillow as an investment. Inexpensive store-bought pillows can lose much of their lofting and insulating ability after a relatively short time. Down clusters are made up of light, fluffy filaments that expand and intertwine to form air pockets. These clusters trap air to create nature's most effective insulator.  That's what makes down so light and fluffy and the perfect choice for a pillow.

Memory foam pillows

Memory foam pillows revert back to their original shape after sleep and offer very good neck support. These are popular because they reduce pressure points by continuously molding and adjusting to the shape of your body as you move throughout the night. Memory foam pillows come in various shapes, including a popular contoured S-shape, which is meant to support the neck.

The right pillow depends on how you sleep

Everyone has a unique sleeping style and position. Some of us sleep in our sides while others sleep on their backs. There are some who find it very comfortable sleeping on their stomach. The best thing a pillow can do for you is keep your head and neck in a neutral position during sleep ("neutral position" is keeping your spine the same as if you were standing). To find the best pillow for you, you need to be aware of your sleeping habits. Keep in mind that you may start in one position, but most people move around during the night.

If you sleep on your back...

Back sleepers need thinner pillows so your head is not thrown too far forward. Also look for a pillow with extra loft in the bottom third of the pillow to cradle your neck. If you sleep on your back then you'll probably want to consider a medium or thinner pillow. It really depends on your body build as to what is the proper height. Sleep experts usually recommend adding an additional pillow underneath your knees when you sleep on your back to further help align your spine. You need a pillow that will support the natural curvature of your upper spine, providing support under your head, neck and shoulders. A pillow with medium firmness would probably be your best choice.

If you sleep on your side...

Side sleepers need a firmer pillow to fill in the distance between the ear and outside shoulder. If you sleep on your side (like most people do), then you need something to support your head and neck correctly while you sleep so you wake up feeling refreshed and energized. You will normally want to look for a medium density pillow so that your spine maintains a straight and horizontal line. A firm pillow would be best for you.

If you're a stomach sleeper...

Look for a very thin, almost flat pillow. you may not even need a pillow for your head, but consider tucking one under your stomach to avoid lower back pain. If you sleep on your stomach, however, you don't want to use too high of a pillow, or chances are your spine will be forced into a very unnatural position while you sleep and you'll end up with a major backache and probably a neck ache. You'll want to go for a softer thinner type of pillow.

All positions...

If you tend to sleep in all or some of the above positions, the best option for you might be an all-around type pillow. This means it's not too dense or high for most people and provides proper support for the average build in all positions. This may be a good place to start when buying a luxury pillow if you're not a hundred percent positive that you'll like the firmer, denser, higher pillows. Don't know whether you want firm or soft? Try our bestselling RejuveNite Melody pillow which features memory foam on one side and latex on the other. This ½ and ½ pillow is a great choice for firm and soft all in one pillow, so you can change comfort levels depending on how you feel.
