A pillow plays a key role in both comfort and quality of sleep. Not only should you choose a pillow made from high-end materials, but you also need to select one with the proper loft. For example, side sleepers do best with a lofted pillow, while stomach sleepers need something flatter to keep their spines aligned. When your pillow has the proper height, loft, and firmness, you increase the odds that you’ll sleep well and wake up refreshed and free from pain. At Pure Parima, we’re excited to offer a brand-new selection of pillow inserts for sleepers of all varieties. Read on to discover the benefits of pillow fluffing and find out which pillow size is right for you.
Benefits of Pillow Fluffing
Heads aren’t light, and over time even the best-quality pillow is bound to flatten out. Fortunately, fluffing your pillow regularly will keep it feeling soft yet supportive over the long term. Additionally, periodic fluffing has an aesthetic benefit, as full pillows look newer and more inviting. Preserve your spinal alignment while helping your bed look its best.
How to Fluff a Pillow
The good news is that fluffing a pillow is relatively easy. To start, sit down on the bed or in a comfortable chair and hold your pillow in your lap. Then, pretend you’re playing the accordion as you push the stuffing of the pillow in and out with your fingers. The goal is to break up any big pieces inside the pillow while allowing air to enter. The end result is an increase in the pillow’s loft and a boost in overall fluffiness.
What Pillow Size Is Right for You?
If you’ve never given much thought to the size of your pillow, then you aren’t alone. Most people purchase standard pillows and call it a day. However, the truth is that different size pillows come with their own benefits and drawbacks.
The most popular pillow option on the market, standard pillows measure about 20 inches by 26 inches. While you can find a standard pillow suitable for back, side, or stomach sleeping, it’s worth noting that this size isn’t ideal for sleepers who toss and turn in the night. When you move around a lot, the pillow tends to slip away from you. As a result, your neck is unsupported and you wake up in pain.
The next biggest size, a queen pillow measures around 20 by 30 inches. In this sense, it’s designed to fit a larger bed, such as a queen or king. The slightly larger size means a queen pillow is less likely to slip away when you change positions during the night.
A king-size pillow is the biggest option that you’ll find in stores. Measuring 20 by 36, this pillow boasts enough length for even the most active of sleepers. Additionally, a king is a good choice if you’re looking for pillows to span the entire length of a larger bed.
