Silentnight Healthy Growth Breathable Pillow - Kids Pillow with Mesh Sides for a Refreshing Nights Sleep - Cotton, Anti Bacterial and Machine Washable, White

Product Information

Combination sleepers who change position a lot in the night will need a more responsive and versatile pillow. Look for one with a malleable or fluffable fill that you can mould into a shape that suits you, or find one with an adjustable fill so that you can find your own perfect loft. Pajamas: What you wear to bed plays a role in how well your body regulates temperature. Opt for natural, breathable fabrics like cotton and bamboo. Avoid heavier fabrics, thermal pajamas, or flannel pieces. Key features – Filling: Memory foam; Cover: Quilted scuba (neoprene) (machine washable); Sizes: 1 (60 x 35cm, 11/6cm height) Side sleepers will benefit from a pillow that can relieve pressure on their shoulders and help maintain a neutral spine position. This means looking for a pillow with a firm feel and a high loft; it's also worth seeking out a malleable or fluffable pillow that you can scrunch into shape to suit your sleeping position. Confusingly many manufacturers 'invent' their own terminology to dress things up to sound a bit more fancy, but the basic synthetic options are hollowfibre, microfibre, and memory foam.

Stomach sleepers should look for a pillow with a low loft and a soft feel, or with a compressible fill that enables you to shape the pillow into a comfortable low loft. This will prevent your head from being propped up too high, and will also help keep your spine aligned. The PET fill is luxuriously plush, making the pillow moldable and snuggly, but you shouldn’t notice much warmth — the shell offsets heat buildup to help you stay cool and dry. One potential downside is that the Cloud isn’t machine-washable. You can use a cover to keep your pillow hygienic, but the insert should only be spot cleaned or dry cleaned.Another appealing feature is the amount of choice you get when it comes to size and feel. It’s available in soft, soft/medium and medium/firm variants, as well as standard (50 x 75cm), superking (50 x 90cm) and square (65 x 65cm) sizes. If you’re shopping for a cooling pillow with a limited budget, the Buffy Cloud offers exceptional temperature and moisture control at a reasonable price. PET fibers mimic the plushness and loftiness of natural down without triggering allergy symptoms or retaining heat, and the breathable Tencel shell ensures comfortable sleep even on hot or humid nights. The pillow’s cover is composed of polyester and viscose with a hint of Lycra spandex to give the fabric a stretchy feel. You can machine wash the cover, but must first separate it from the pouch containing the fill. The Layla Kapok Pillow is available in queen and king sizes. UK based Aeyla has developed quite a clever concept here: a pillow within a pillow. The main reason is that the plumpness actually lasts. The filling is a vegan down-alternative made from microfibre. It’s encased in a cooling cotton cover.

Just like Nectar’s A Whole Night Sleep pillow, the loft (or height) of the Emma Premium Microfibre Pillow can be adjusted by adding or removing one of its layers. The difference with Emma’s pillow is that it’s made from microfibre rather than memory foam. We found it much more “squishy” than most of its foam counterparts, so we’d argue it’s best suited to sleepers who prefer a softer pillow. To help you get to grips with the basics, we've broken down the pros and cons of most common pillow fillings below. Pure feather pillows – as luxurious as the idea of pure feathers may sound, we’d avoid this type as those pesky feather quills seem to have a way of escaping and stabbing you in the face. It’s also worth noting they don’t offer the support and height needed for side sleepers. Plus, they can be noisy and don’t suit allergy sufferers. Now that you know what each pillow style does, think about the positions you tend to fall asleep and wake up in, as this will also help you find the right pillow for you. Here’s what you should be looking for, according to how you sleep.

Well, as you may have come to realise if you’re tossing and turning at night squishing your current pillow into all kinds of shapes to try and get comfy, when it comes to pillows, one size does not fit all. This Emma Premium Microfibre Pillow is soft - but that’s not to say it also doesn’t suit side sleepers, who are traditionally better suited to firmer pillows. With so much height, I found wherever I lay, I still felt the support of the double layered cushioning inside, and importantly my head stayed aligned with my body. The best pillows you can buy in 2023 1. Silentnight Just Like Down Microfibre Pillow: Best value pillow The pillow’s two polyester microfibre layers are encased in a soft padded pillowcase. With both layers inserted, the pillow has a good amount of loft, which is a good thing for side sleepers who need to support their head and shoulder (though we also found the pillow to be comfortable and supportive with just the one insert). While most of the pillows on our roundup have a machine washable cover, you might also be pleased to hear that this pillow – inserts and all – can be popped in the washing machine at a temperature up to 60°C.
