Guide to buying a Velvet Pillow


The pillow that you rest your head on is just as crucial. We've all woken up with a crick in the neck feeling unrested and groggy, and that has everything to do with your pillow. A pillow seems like a simple enough thing to buy. But it can be tricky and expensive to find just the right one for you.
There are myriad fills and degrees of firmness, and prices for pillows range from a few bucks to hundreds of dollars. Choose the wrong pillow and you could literally lose sleep over it.
The right pillow should comfortably provide support for your head and your neck, and it shouldn't deflate or lose its fluffiness quickly.
Mattresses get a lot of attention, for good reason. Your mattress is the largest, most important financial investment you’ll make in your sleep.
  But when it comes to sleep quality, pillows are almost as important as your mattress. Even if your pillow isn’t old and deflated, it might not be the best choice for your comfort and support.

Know about the pillow fill

  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, so that is what we would go for even though they can be a bit pricey.
 A more cost-friendly option would be synthetic or polyester fiber pillows, which are generally hypoallergenic, feels like down and are machine washable.
For firmer support, spongy memory foam and Tempur-Pedic pillows are the way to go. But foam pillows are known to retain heat, so if you sweat easily, we suggest you shy away.

Know about firmness

 If you are a side sleeper, you want a fuller pillow that makes up for the gap between the bed and your upper back and shoulder blades.
 It will help keep your neck aligned with your spine rather than angled to avoid any strainch
Back sleepers need flatter pillows since that gap is smaller, due to the curve of the upper back and shoulder blades. If you sleep on your stomach, a thin pillow is enough to keep your neck’s natural curve.
Press down on the pillow to gauge its true firmness. Shake, fluff, squeeze, and even lay on it if you can to get a feel for what you’re buying. You want a pillow that maintains a uniform shape and thickness.

Consider thread counts

  The higher the thread counts in a pillow the more durable and plusher it will feel.
  We have found that a standard-size 20" by 26" pillow with a 300-thread count is cost-efficient and comfortable to sleep on.
  But if you are looking for something more luxurious, we'd go with a pillow that has 500-800 thread counts. Of course, 1,000 thread count pillows are great.

Know about your mattress

  Your pillow has to work in concert with your mattress to support your body during sleep. If you have a softer mattress, you want a thinner pillow.
That applies whether you sleep on your side or your back. The reasoning is that a softer mattress typically allows the body to sink into it, therefore there’s less of a gap between your head and mattress.
 Firmer mattresses keep you from sinking in as much, leaving a larger gap between it and your neck to fill, so you’ll want a fuller pillow.
A pillow that's too firm or full puts your head at an awkward angle and can cause restlessness or strainch

Consider breathability of the Pillow

  Feeling hot and sweaty does not make for a good night’s rest. You want a pillow that allows air to pass through instead of trapping heat.
The denser the pillow filling, the less breathable it Will be for your head and neck. Ones made of a single slab of foam were the least breathable.

Choose Right Size of the Pillow

 The size of the bed pillow you pick will depend on the size of your bed and how you sleep.
you could choose 4 or 6 standard pillows for a king-size bed.
If you prefer a large pillow to snuggle with on a smaller bed, use a king on a twin bed.
