Pillow Styles

Luxurious and stylish, pillows are made for comfort

A good pillow is the ultimate in luxury! You use throw pillows to decorate your house, travel pillows to travel in comfort, and you count on your bedding pillow to help you get a good night's sleep. Following is a comparison of pillows to help you evaluate the differences and determine which styles suit your specific needs.

Bedding pillows

Bedding pillows are usually filled with either polyester, feather or down. You can choose between soft, medium or firm bedding pillows. You also pick the size, shape and fabric cover of your bedding pillow. A "good" pillow cover is a cotton/polyester blend, a "better" pillow cover is an Egyptian cotton blend and the "best" cover fabrics are made out of a satin fabric.

Neck support pillow

A good neck pillow will provide you with proper neck support when sleeping on your back or side. These pillows are overstuffed with cluster fibers for firm comfort and adjustability. The U-shape neck pillow cradles your head and neck and conforms for perfect support.

Down pillow

A goose down pillow is so soft it is considered the ultimate in luxury. The higher the down fill count the more expensive the pillow. Down pillows usually have satin fabric covers and beautiful finishing details such as double stitching and elegant piping.

Feather pillow

Another luxuriously comfortable pillow is the feather pillow. The softness of a feather pillow gives you the ability to adjust and contour the pillow to your head and neck. The type of construction used on the pillow chamber filled with feathers, helps the pillow maintain its loft.

Body pillow

The ergonomic Z-shaped designed body pillow promotes proper spinal alignment while wrapping you in all night comfort. Millions of tiny cluster fibers adjust to your body's contours for total body support. Look for body pillow covers that zip off for easy washing.

Wedge Pillow

A therapeutically designed wedge pillow has an elevated end to raise your head and torso for comfortable support. Or, you can use the wedge pillow under your legs to elevate them for better circulation.

Maternity pillow

Experts designed the maternity pillow to help expectant mothers and side sleepers get a more comfortable sleep. The maternity pillow also works great for people with backaches and other injuries. The pillow supports the abdomen and lower back and can be adjusted by re-positioning Velcro-taped panels. Some maternity pillows even have built-in carrying handles so you can easily take it with you.

Memory foam pillow

A memory foam pillow or sometimes called a pillow form is the perfect pillow for those who want the benefits of memory foam in a traditionally shaped pillow. The resilient latex memory foam pillow is designed never to sag or flatten. The memory foam in the pillow form conforms to your every movement for exceptional comfort and superior support for your head and neck.

Travel pillow

Perfect for plane, train or auto, the ergonomically U-shaped travel pillow provides exceptional support for the head and neck. The resilient fill is self adjusting for an enveloping, customized fit. Travel pillow covers differ. Fleece or other soft material covers provide extra comfort. Most travel pillow covers are removable for easy machine washing after your trip.
