Finding The Perfect Pillow
So much to ponder with pillows! Soft, firm, bouncy, flat, one or two? We offer a range of pillow choices - something for everyone - but it can be a bit daunting to choose the right one.
The main things to consider when choosing your pillow are the position in which you sleep and how you like your pillow to feel. Read ahead to get some answers to some frequently asked questions.
Pillows protect your spine from strain while you sleep. Without the correct pillow, you can be achy and sore the next day and through the night, leading to poor sleep and a general bad mood.
See our blog on the benefits of pillows to learn more about why these soft sleep accessories are so important.
You’ll feel oh so comfortable with one pillow underneath your head and a second pillow relieving pressure elsewhere in your body.
For a back sleeper, a pillow under the knees works magic to prevent back strain, while it sits best between the knees for a side sleeper. Are you one of the rare tummy sleepers? Slide your pillow under your pelvis for your comfiest sleep.
If you sleep on your front or back, you will probably be more comfortable with a pillow with a medium fill, whereas if you're a side sleeper, you might prefer a firmer pillow.
Or why not go with one of each so you can mix and match to create your perfect pillow partners? Our list of top ten pillows for a fab night’s sleep is full of amazing options for you.
Pillows should be replaced every 1 to 2 years or when they lose shape and support. Over time, pillows accumulate dust mites, allergens, and become misshapen, leading to discomfort and poor sleep quality.
See our guide on when to replace your bedding for more advice on when it’s time to treat yourself to a new set.
Hypoallergenic pillows are made with materials that resist allergens such as dust mites, mould, and pet dander. They are a great choice for individuals with allergies or asthma, as they help reduce the risk of triggering allergic reactions.
All the case fabrics used for our Secret Linen Store pillows are certified to meet the NOMITE® standard, and all our feather and down products are NOMITE® certified and labelled, which means they are suitable for use by those who suffer from asthma or dust mite allergies.
Read more about sleeping sound despite allergies in our blog.
Give your pillows a wash twice yearly to keep them fresh, hygienic, and free from dust mites. Just remember to follow the instructions on the label carefully to avoid damaging your pillow.
How a pillow should be washed depends largely on fill type. You wouldn’t wash feather pillows the way you would a hollowfibre pillow.
Just see our bedding care guide and you’ll be a pillow washing whiz in no time!
There are so many pillow fillings at our Secret Linen Store. Would you like to lay your head on fluffy feather pillows, dreamy duck down pillows or clever synthetic options like hollowfibre pillows?
We even have recycled pillow filling options, so you can be kind to the planet even when you’re fast asleep!
Down is generally seen as the luxurious filling choice for pillows, so luxury hotels will tend to supply pillows containing this super squishy and cloud-like filling.
Here at Secret Linen Store, we have 100% goose or duck down pillows and an 80% duck down option for those on a bit more budget. Either will add a spot of luxury to your snooze time.
