Comfort and high-quality sleep can be ensured not only by the right mattress but also by the right pillow. Choosing a pillow is an extremely individual matter. In addition to the type of filling, its correct height and firmness are equally important.
Your preferred sleeping position is a key factor when choosing the best pillow in terms of both body alignment and comfort.
Which pillow for sleeping on your back?
If you sleep on your back, we recommend using a soft or medium pillow with a lower, thinner profile. If you often change position during sleep, we recommend a medium pillow that allows you to sleep both on your back and on your side. It should make it easy to change positions during the night while still providing proper support for the head and neck.
When sleeping on your back, your legs are either straight or slightly bent, but in that case, it is advisable to place a small pillow under your knees to further relieve pressure on your back (this helps prevent the flattening of the lumbar curve and reduces strain on the spine).
If you sleep on your back, choose a medium or soft pillow filled with alpaca wool.
Which pillow for sleeping on your side?
If you sleep on your side, we recommend a medium or higher firm pillow with a thicker profile to properly support your head and neck, keeping your spine in a straight, natural horizontal line.
It’s also a good idea to bend your knees and place a second pillow between them — this keeps the spine neutral and reduces pressure on the lower back and hips.
The ideal pillow height depends on your shoulder width — the greater the distance between your shoulder and neck, the higher the pillow should be.
If you sleep on your side, choose a medium or firm pillow filled with alpaca wool.
Which pillow for sleeping on your stomach?
If you sleep on your stomach, we recommend a lower soft pillow — it should be relatively flat so that your head and neck are not overstrained.
In this position, it can also be helpful to place another flat pillow under your stomach or pelvis to help your lower back maintain a natural alignment.
If you sleep on your stomach, choose a soft pillow filled with alpaca wool.
A pillow filled with alpaca wool is firmer than a down pillow, offering excellent support for the head and cervical spine. It is resilient and springy, thanks to the layered structure of the alpaca wool filling.
