The standard sleeping pillow is familiar to everyone from childhood and is designed to improve the quality of sleep.

Regular pillows are 70x70 cm in size, some are used to buying Euro-sized pillows – 70 by 50 or 60 by 40. But not everyone knows which pillow to choose to have a quality, deep sleep and wake up refreshed in the morning.

How to choose the right pillow for sleeping

For those who prefer to sleep on their side, the height of the pillow should not be more than the width of the shoulder. To do this, measure the distance from the base of the neck to the shoulder point.

Those who like this type of sleep will like pillows whose height does not exceed 10-14 cm.

For those who are used to sleeping on their back, a slightly lower pillow – 8-10 cm – will do.

If you sleep on your stomach, choose low pillows – no more than 8 cm.

For those who constantly toss and turn in their sleep, it is better to choose a pillow of medium height. This will help you feel comfortable if you sleep in different positions.
