It is worthwhile to invest in a good pillow, some general guidelines for buying lasting pillows,
a) As a general rule, you should try to replace a pillow every six month to two years
b) The life of a pillow depends on the material it uses. Check with the manufacturer to know about the quality and normal life span of the pillow.
c) You can test a pillow to see if it is in shape,
- Place the pillow on a flat surface by folding it in half. Put a shoe on the top. If the shoe bounces away and the pillow regains its original shape, your pillow is in good shape. If the shoe stays, it probably has lived its life and it’s time to change.
Before you buy, do not forget to,
· Inquire about the material used for the filling. If it is a down pillow, you can be assured of its softness and warmth.
· Buckwheat hulls is another natural filling that is considered resistant to breakage and weathering.
· Memory foam pillows also known as contour pillows are great too. Made by mixing different chemicals, they are resilient and provide complete support to the neck and head for a restful sleep.
· Hypoallergenic pillows are made with materials that minimize the possibility of allergic reactions.
· Body pillows are long ones designed to reach your feet from head.
