Why Can't I Find The Right Pillow

By Brooke Alexander - Chief Branding Officer
Explore how bedding layers, pillow fit, and breathable materials can help create a more comfortable sleep system.

How many pillows do you have on your bed? I don't know about you, but I have about 10 different pillows in my bedroom, spare room and in closets. And in conversations with customers in our stores or online, I find it's not unusual for people to have 10-15 pillows they have accumulated over time in an attempt to find the perfect pillow. Is there one perfect pillow?
Regrettably there is not. Despite the claims on the late night infomercials, there is no one size fits all solution to finding your perfect pillow. There are several factors involved when searching for a pillow and they vary from person to person:
  • Size so someone's frame - Wide or narrow shoulders? Tall or short, Chubby or Skinny? 
  • Side, Back or Stomach sleeper
  • Firm or soft bed can be a factor
  • Pressure sensitivity
  • Neck, back or shoulder injuries
  • Allergies
These can all be influencing factors when finding a pillow that you would term "perfect" for your individual needs. And as you can see by this list, these issues can arise, change or disappear all together, so it would not be unusual to have a need to find a new pillow more often than a new mattress. Since pillows are not as expensive as mattresses, the focus on a good pillow is not as intense commercially as a new mattress, yet it is equally important when trying to achieve proper rest.
At Nest Bedding, we have many pillows for the many types of sleepers out there. Our newest innovations, the Easy Breather Pillow and the Nature's Perfect Pillow are two examples of pillows that are both soft and supportive. And those are two of the most important factors you want to consider when shopping for a new pillow. 
Hypo-allergenic materials are also important, particularly if you struggle with dust mite allergies or other environmental irritants. Also, you may want to consider a pillow protector with your new pillow. We have those too.
Nest Bedding is committed to helping you achieve a great night's sleep.
