We spend almost a third of our lives sleeping. Or at least trying. Because if sleep problems were already a constant in many people due to stress and the rhythm of life we lead, insomnia has increased dramatically during the pandemic.
In most cases we associate rest with the mattress. But we forget that there is a supplement that is essential to have the restful sleep we need: Pillow.
In addition to making our rest comfortable and comfortable, the pillow helps to maintain the natural position of the spine while we sleep. In fact, sleeping with the wrong pillow hurts the spine and cervical area.
To find out which pillow we can choose, and which is the most suitable for our body, we have been talking with the experts at Pikolín Home to give us a few tips in this regard.
The first thing, know how you sleep
When choosing the perfect pillow, it is important to take into account factors such as the posture that each one adapts to sleep. The best thing to do for a good rest is to sleep on your side, in fetal position and with the legs slightly bent. If you sleep in this position, it is best to choose a thick and firm pillow.
If you sleep on your back, the firmness and thickness of the pillow should be intermediate. If you sleep on your stomach (this is the least recommended position), the pillow should be very thin and adaptable.
AND if you change your posture frequently (as it happens to me for example), you should choose a pillow of medium firmness that accommodates the different positions.
What material is the best?
There is a wide variety of materials on the market. On the one hand we find the fiber pillows, a material that is very comfortable, breathable, and with great recovery capacity.
Memory foam pillows have become very popular in recent times. It is a very adaptable material, whose firmness is modified by the heat of our body, becoming softer as it warms up. This material is ideal for those who have greater
tenderness in the cervical area or who may need to maintain a
therapeutic sleeping position.
Regarding latex pillows, it must be said that they are somewhat less adaptable than viscolatex pillows, although they have a soft texture and

nice. By having an internal structure of open cells, it allows a
good ventilation.
The pillow is not eternal (you have to change it from time to time)
It seems that we already have assumed that the mattress must be changed every ten years. But, do you know how often you have to change the pillow? In this sense, we must take into account the deadlines recommended by the manufacturers to renew the pillow and maintain hygiene and comfort. And this term is between 1 and 2 years.
