Pillows

Making a decision on what pillow to buy is an increasingly complex choice. The size, filling or fabric can all play a part in your ultimate satisfaction. Many common demands, such as 'more support' or 'less heat and humidity', can usually be made with simple selections, but to find the right pillow that suits you, may be a more involved selection. Luckily, we include a variety of filters on our web-page that allow you to tailor design the perfect pillow for you. Firstly, size, although usually overlooked, can play a big role in your pillow support. Chose a size relevant to the size of your bed, but don't forget that variations in either direction may affect the support that you desire.

Hypo-allergenic pillows are often recommended for allergy sufferers. Avoiding microbial traps such as feather and down, these pillows are designed to repel dust mites. Easy to wash and clean frequently, hypo-allergenic pillows are specially treated to avoid all allergens. Choosing the correct fabric presents you with a wide variety of options. Our memory foam pillows use natural bamboo charcoal to absorb and release moisture from the air, helping you to attain the optimum temperature and posture. There are various iterations of cotton, including twill and cambric; providing a soft texture and helping relieve pressure. PolyCotton is a hybrid mix of polyester and cotton, mixing the natural softness and moisture retention of cotton with the durability of polyester.
We include a variety of fillings on our web-site. Choosing the one relevant to your needs can spell the difference between the best night's sleep, and the worst. If you want a natural filling, duck or goose feathers pillows provide a plush support. Down, the small, fluffy feathers close to the birds' body, are far softer than feathers, but may not be to everyone's taste. Goose fillings are better than those of a duck, because the feathers and down are larger, and therefore trap more heat, while remaining light.

If you seek the highest quality downs available, we sell both Canadian down pillows and Hungarian down pillows. Hungarian geese are very consistent in quality and have a high 'fill power', meaning that they will averagely last over double the lifespan of your common downs. Canadian geese are considered the best in the world, with an even higher fill power. Often raised in prairies of Canada, the geese grow large breasts to help insulate them against the cold. If you favour man-made fillings, we have a wide range including; fibre, foam, latex and memory foam. Foam is perfect for those of us on a tighter budget, and is often combined with other fillings for greater posture. Memory foam pillows, on the other hand is temperature sensitive and reacts to the warmth, providing pressure relief where it's needed most. A memory foam pillow will soften as you sleep, moulding to your head and neck for the utter-most comfort. Fibre pillows are traditionally cheaper than others, but actually provide amazing support. We include a selection of foam/fibre hybrids on our website as well as a latex pillows range. Latex pillows are renowned for its resilience and durable properties, and are also very breathable and dust mite resistant. Latex pillows also last a long time and can outlive natural pillow fillings by many years. Natural Latex pillows are also 'green', made from the rubber found in tree sap.

Choosing a comfort rating is another important decision to make when buying a pillow. Luckily Pillowman.co.uk tiers our range into five categories, so that you are guaranteed to select the one that you're after. Lastly, but possibly most importantly, is the shape of the pillow you're looking for. Bolster pillows are long, narrow pillows which can be used as head or back support for either one or two sleepers. As is traditional in parts of Asia, bolsters can also be used to keep you warm throughout the night, as it is designed to be hugged. Contour pillows are highly durable. Often manufactured from memory foam, contour pillows have a unique shape, moulding to the neck and shoulders of the sleeper. Neck pillows wrap around your neck to support your posture. Perfect for both sitting and laying, neck pillows are multi-functional and highly comfortable. Square pillows are mainly used for decoration or extra padding. Placed alongside the edge or at the head of a bed, square pillows help to create a stylish backdrop.
