The pillow is the most personal product of all since it must be adapted to the specific needs of each person. Even if we sleep with another person in the same bed, it is recommended that each one use their own custom body pillows and make sure that it provides maximum comfort.

Choosing your perfect dream pillow involves deciding which is the most suitable padding and the type of fabric, as well as the degree of firmness or those desired characteristics according to your needs for optimal rest.

How to choose the ideal pillow according to my sleeping position?

When we sleep, the cervical and thoracic vertebrae should be at the same angle as when we are standing, regardless of sleeping posture or the person's build. Here is the definitive guide to choosing the ideal dakimakura pillow according to your sleeping position:

I sleep face down

A pillow with low or medium-low firmness is the most suitable to prevent the neck from being higher than the rest of the back. If you flex your hips and knees to the side and you turn your neck, you will achieve an anatomically correct posture.

I sleep on my back

The most recommended pillow is one of medium firmness, to ensure that the body is in a completely flat position as if you were standing.

I sleep on my side

The medium-high and high firmness pillows are the ones that will, to the greatest extent, keep the head and neck aligned with the spine.

What is the most suitable filling for pillows?

The variety of fillings and fabrics available also poses several dilemmas that we will help you solve below. Each one has its advantages and specific characteristics that will give you precise clues to know which one best suits your needs.

Polyester or silicone hollow fiber

Polyester or silicone hollow fiber pillows are the lightest, softest and easiest to maintain. They offer a similar feel to traditional down pillows, but at a much lower price.

The fine synthetic fibers that make up polyester resist pressure well and recover their shape easily, but due to their low firmness, they tend to cake more quickly than others.

Bamboo Viscose

The combination of polyester and Bamboo viscose is ideal if you need extra freshness and moisture absorption capacity. The core of the pillow allows maximum adaptability, but also facilitates air circulation. If you sweat a lot at night or want to protect the pillow from liquids with an exceptional touch, this is your best option.

Viscoelastic

Memory foam pillows protect our cervicals from exerting too much pressure while we sleep. Responsive memory foam sinks under the weight of our heads but is able to return to its natural state as soon as we move. Despite not being as malleable as others are, if you suffer from back pain and are looking for support adapted to your anatomy and sleeping posture, they are your perfect padding.
