Pillows: How to choose
All pillows are not created equal. The average person spends around one third of his or her life in bed. Choosing the right pillow is important so that you can always get a good night's rest. Few items you'll purchase require as much care and thought as a pillow. When buying a bed pillow, many things should be taken into consideration, including size, shape, firmness, and materials. There's a pillow firmness just right for each person. We can help you find the pillow that best fits your needs.

The following are the most important factors to look for:

Natural or Synthetic?

Natural Fill Pillow

: If you want to go natural, down should be your first choice. A down bed pillow is extremely soft, and tends to work better for stomach sleepers or those who prefer soft cushiony bed pillows instead of firm ones. Natural fill is feather, down, or a combination of both. Down is not a feather. It's the fluffy insulation under the feathers that keep ducks and geese warm and protected from the elements. These natural fills are best for conforming to your head and neck

Synthetic Fill Pillow

: This is a man-made fill and is, usually, polyester. Synthetic pillows don’t have a long life span and will not conform to the head and neck as well as a natural fill pillow. Some polyester pillows are made to resist bacteria and microbe growth which make them hypo-allergenic. Polyester bed pillows are usually inexpensive, and come in a variety of sizes and firmnesses.

Other Pillow Types

Memory Foam Pillow

: These are dense, sponge-like pillows that mold around the head and neck for extra support. Memory foam pillows have become very popular in recent years.
Poly Cluster Fill Pillow: This is a type of synthetic fill in which polyester clusters are coated with silicone to feel and move like down. It gives the softness and appeal of a true down pillow without the cost. Great for allergy sufferers who prefer synthetic fill but want down-like comfort.

What is fill power?
Fill power measures the volume one ounce of down takes up. It's a good indicator of the puffiness and resilience of down. The higher the fill power, the more loft the pillow will have and the longer it will last. Fill power will be listed on better down pillows.
