What is a good pillow?

Choosing the right pillow contributes significantly to a restful and healthy sleep. But what is a good pillow? And: Is it also suitable for me?

Basically, the height of the pillow is crucial for a relaxed position of the head and neck. The head is relaxed when there is no "bend in the neck". The head must lie in the line of extension of the spine and not be bent either upwards or downwards.

A good pillow should support the head well and of course be comfortable. The body should be able to assume exactly the same posture when lying down as it does when standing in a relaxed position.

Are you a back, side, or stomach sleeper? - Depending on your sleeping position, you need a different pillow.

As a back sleeper, you need to make sure that the space between your back and head is well-filled. These are our pillows that are suitable for back sleepers: https://duvetsuisse.com/en-ch/blog/pillows-for-back-sleepers/

Side sleepers, on the other hand, need to make sure that the space between their shoulders and head is adequately filled and supported. Here you can find our pillows that are suitable for side sleepers:

If you are a stomach sleeper, you should rather get a simple flat pillow. Here you can find our pillows that are suitable for stomach sleepers:

Be careful with the pillow size: a large pillow looks nice on the bed, and you can snuggle into it. However, side sleepers should prefer a pillow that is not too big and rather supportive. The shoulder should rest on the mattress in any case.

As far as the filling is concerned, although a good quality feather is important for support, a larger amount of down in the filling increases comfort because it is then more supple and softer.

Three-chamber pillows are ideal. They are constructed like a peach. The outer down cover provides the softness; in the inner core, goose feathers provide the desired support.
