Pillow Materials

Make sure your pillow holds up

A quality pillow is an essential part of good night sleep. Your bedding pillow should be resilient, supportive, luxurious, and comfortable. The material a pillow is made with is an important factor in its design. Take a look at how different pillow materials compare and make sure your pillow holds up to a good night sleep!

Check list

When you're looking for a bedding pillow, there are five basic parts to check before you buy. Look at the pillow size, its design, the type of fabric it's made out of, what the pillow is filled with and any guarantees it comes with:

Size. Check to see if the pillow made for a twin, standard, queen or king bed.

Design. A pillow is designed for soft, medium or firm support. A pillow design will also be best suited for either back, side or stomach sleepers.

Fabric. 100% cotton or satin are the most luxurious and expensive pillow fabrics. Less expensive options are partial weave fabrics.

Fill. Bedding pillows are usually filled with either polyester, feather or down.

Guarantee. A bedding pillow may come with a money back guarantee or warranty if you're not satisfied. If you suffer from allergies, look for a pillow that is guaranteed to be allergy free.

Down right comfortable

Because of its softness, a goose down pillow is considered the ultimate in luxury. Down pillows boast soft down filled chambers for adjustable support that conforms to your every move. Down pillows usually have satin material fabric covers and other beautiful finishing details such as double stitching and elegant piping.

Birds of a feather

Large and lofty feather pillows are made with naturally resilient and supportive feathers. The type of construction used on the pillow chamber filled with feathers, gives you down-like comfort and helps the pillow its support.

Foam won't go flat!

The naturally resilient and dense structure of a memory foam pillow won't ever go flat. The foam pillow provides lasting durability and better support for your head and neck. The ventilated design creates increased air circulation and offers these other benefits:

Provides a softness and support for back and side sleepers

High density foam material provides adequate support

Multiple positions to accommodate long and short necks

Pressure and heat sensitive foam pillows conforms to the shape of your head and neck

Hypoallergenic, foam pillows are resistant to mold and mildew and other bacteria

Cradle in comfort

With an orthopedic pillow, your stiff neck and back pain will be a thing of the past. Regular pillows go flat or lose their shape, causing strain on your neck, shoulders and back. The inner core material of an orthopedic pillow is designed to cradle your head while properly aligning your neck and back to relieve stress and pressure.

Pain in the neck

No more neck pain! A good neck pillow will provide you with proper neck support when sleeping on your back or side. The cluster fiber material a neck pillow is made out of will give you firm comfort and adjustability. The U-shape neck pillow cradles your head and neck and conforms for perfect support.
