The correct pillow can make an enormous difference to the quality of your sleep. A good pillow and a good mattress really work hand in hand to give you the correct spinal alignment all night long. Nobody enjoys constantly having to ‘plump’ their pillow through the night and with a modern pillow this can be avoided.
Consider your weight and sleeping position when choosing a new pillow. As a rule of thumb back/front sleepers require a thinner pillow whilst side sleepers generally need a thicker pillow.
Similarly a heavier person will need a firmer pillow and a lighter person can gain enough support from a softer pillow.
We have an extensive range of pillows in store and have received some great feed-back as to their performance. Here are our 5 favourites for support and value for money.
Polyester hollow fibre.
Medium feel.
Pro’s: Fresh and deep comfort. Great value from a household name. Different class to some of the budget pillows on the market.
Con’s: Hollowfibre will compress and flatten over time. Great value but won’t recover their shape as well as the other pillows on this list.

Core of encased pocket springs.
Firm feel.
Pro’s: Superb recovery. Bounces back immediately for a firm, supportive pillow.
Con’s: Quite high. May not suit smaller/lighter people.

Latex core.
Medium feel.
Pro’s: Latex is a fantastic material to sleep on. Naturally elastic it recovers it’s shape quickly, is cool, breathable and really comfortable. Air mesh walls aid moisture dispersal. Great pillow.
Con’s: Personally it’s a bit soft. But that is purely my taste. Sells incredibly well in store.

Geltex core.
Medium firm feel.
Pro’s: Responsiveness of memory foam without the increased heat associated with memory foam.
Con’s: Geltex has a slower recovery time than latex or spring and can feel a bit flat in comparison. Some people obviously like this feel as it is one of our best selling pillows in store.

Medical grade foam.
Medium feel.
Pro’s: An amazing combination of substantial posture support with a cloud like, weightless feel. Fantastic. Available in slim and deep.
Con’s: Too soft for someone who likes a very firm pillow.
