Pillows

Pillows are one of the most important bed accessories that can help you to have an amazingly restful nights sleep along with your mattress. Proper support for the head and neck is key to keeping your neck and spine in line in order to maximise the amount of oxygen that enters the body throughout the night. More oxygen in your body means that your lungs and other organs can function properly whilst you are asleep as the flow of the oxygen around the body is not interrupted. Get this right and you are sure to wake up a lot more refreshed.

Memory foam pillows are really great in helping to achieve maximum support throughout the night. These are available in different shapes – mainly traditional oblong shape or anatomically shaped (which fits the contours of the head and neck). The memory foam in the pillow moulds to the shape of your head and neck and holds them in position throughout the night. Memory foam pillows are also now available with coolmax covers that help to keep you cooler whilst asleep. These covers are generally very easy to zip off in order to keep the pillow extra fresh all of the time.

A more natural form of pillow that is very similar to memory foam in the way that it works is a latex foam pillow. Latex foam is sourced from the rubber tree (Hevea Brasiliensis) and is fantastic as the tree does not have to be cut down for the product. The tree is 'tapped' for the latex and can be used year after year meaning that it is a more sustainable product. It also doesn't harm the environment as it contains no toxic chemicals whatsoever – it is completely natural. Due to its elastic properties, latex foam makes a great pillow and will feel extremely comfy to sleep on!
