When selecting a pillow, whether soft, medium, or firm, the most important consideration is the position in which you sleep:
A soft pillow is ideal if you sleep on your tummy as a luxuriously soft pillow will provide a very gentle slope and not strain the muscles in your neck.
A medium pillow, which gently cradles and supports the head, is a good choice if you sleep flat on your back.
A firmer, denser, more supportive pillow (or pillows if you have wide shoulders) is/are the perfect choice for you if you sleep on your side as they hold their shape and so support the neck and spine. A popular combination for those with wide shoulders is a firmer bottom pillow and a softer top pillow.
The second consideration, when choosing a new pillow, is your preferred type of filling. Choose from our ranges of natural pillows; practical, hypoallergenic fibre-filled pillows; or, for those who suffer from neck problems, our range of memory foam pillows.
Natural Pillows
Natural pillows are available in soft, medium or firm qualities. The softness or firmness depends upon the amount pure down clusters (which are soft) and fine feathers (which are firm) used to fill the pillow. Also the higher the quality of the down, the softer and loftier the pillow will be.
Fibre-filled pillows are ideal if you are allergic to feathers or down, or like to wash your pillow frequently (they wash and dry easily in domestic machines). All the pillows available from www.PureLivingCollection.com are filled with polyester clusters so they mould effortlessly around your head and neck and are easy to re-plump.
Memory foam is a temperature sensitive material that responds to your body heat, moulding to the exact shape of your head and neck. Memory foam pillows offer the most support, can help alleviate neck and spinal problems and even prevent snoring!
