What is the importance of a suitable pillow?
Pillows work in conjunction with the mattress to ensure you're supported and comfortable throughout the night. The aim of the pillow is to keep your neck aligned with your head and backbone, thus reducing the risk of back and neck pain. We tend to focus on the suitability of our bed and mattress and whether a memory foam or pocket-sprung option is best suited, for example. However, it's essential that our pillows provide adequate support and comfort for the perfect night's sleep. Consisting of sumptuous materials and fillings, you can expect the highest quality from Silentnight.
How do I know if it's time to replace my pillows?
A simple assessment can determine whether your pillow is suitable; if you find yourself continuously folding or scrunching your pillow for additional support, you should consider replacing your pillow. To test the sustainability of your pillow, fold it in half and keep it in place for 30 seconds; if the pillow is of adequate quality, it should bounce back to its original shape.
What types of pillows does our collection consist of?
Hypoallergenic fillings
So often, our night's sleep is dictated by allergies, and with this in mind, Silentnight features pillows with hypoallergenic, eco-fibre fillings that are not only environmentally friendly but are also ideally suited for anyone suffering from hayfever or dust mite allergies. For peace of mind, our anti-allergy pillows are British Allergy Foundation-approved. Moreover, many of our Silentnight pillows consist of 100% recycled fibres, thus meaning a better night's sleep can be acquired at a cost that is kind to planet Earth.
Natural fillings
As the name suggests, natural pillows, such as cotton, comprise non-synthetic fillings. Silentnight's natural range features pillows filled with ethically sourced and RDS-approved duck feathers providing enhanced support to the head and neck.
Pocket sprung pillows
Similarly to pocket-sprung mattresses, a pocket-sprung pillow provides superb support to the head and neck whilst sleeping.
Does my sleeping position determine which pillow I should buy?
As a general rule of thumb, a medium or soft pillow is ideally suited for front and back sleepers who require softer pillows to ensure the neck is correctly aligned with the spine. In contrast, firmer pillows are designed with side sleepers in mind; a firm pillow allows the neck to align with the spine whilst sleeping in this position, therefore reducing the risk of neck pain.
