The right pillow should comfortably provide support for your head and neck. Here are some pillow tips:
Know what's inside. The most common fills for pillows are down feathers, synthetic/polyester fibers and foam. Natural goose down feather pillows are long-lasting and excellent in terms of comfort, but can be a bit pricey. A more cost-friendly option are synthetic/polyester fiber pillows, which are generally hypoallergenic, feel like down and are machine washable. For firmer support, spongy memory foam and Tempur-Pedic pillows are the way to go. Foam pillows retain heat, so if you're a hot sleeper, foam is not for you.
The higher the thread count in a pillow the more durable and plush it will feel. A fluffier a pillow provides better cushioning and is longer lasting. A fluffy pillow also means that fresh air is still able to travel through it. A deflated and flat pillow is not ideal for giving comfortable support. To test fluffiness, fold a pillow in half and see if it unfolds on its own or give it a big hug and see if it fluffs back up. If not, you might want to look for a new pillow.
If you sleep on your back, make sure you get a fluffier pillow that lifts your head and chin, which helps with breathing and snoring.
