Feather and down pillows, such as down or feather pillows, give you comfort and adjustability. They can support your head, eliminate pressure points and increase facial circulation to decrease face squashing.

However, if your pillow has any chance of becoming damp – such as in an extremely humid area or in a camper van or boat – it may not be the best option as it can develop an odour. Down is also not an option if you suffer from asthma or have allergies.

 Wool pillows provide outstanding neck and head support whilst retaining a soft wool feel that resists flattening and bounces back easily after use. Wool is a great sleep aid, it draws moisture away from the skin and helps the body to maintain a steady temperature, meaning it’s never too hot or cold; and it’s also antibacterial and hypoallergenic as well as being naturally dust mite free.

Memory foam pillows are made of a dense, temperature-sensitive sponge-like material that can easily support your back and neck by conforming to your individual body shape. The memory foam moulds to your neck and head, creating a comfortable cradle for your head while you sleep. This can help relieve pain in your neck while you are sleeping.

Latex pillows are made from a rubber polymer that returns to shape time after time and offers you unrivalled comfort and support. The latex sponge is very reactive to pressure, but unlike memory foam it has instant bounce-back. Latex pillows also have the added benefit of being hypoallergenic.

Synthetic pillows are man-made, usually polyester. They are hypoallergenic making them ideal for allergy sufferers. However, they have a shorter life span and do not conform to the head and neck as well as most other pillows.

Orthopaedic pillows exist in several different shapes and materials and are most commonly used to relieve neck and back pain. Some promise to keep their shape or mould and adjust to your head and shoulders, always keeping spine alignment as the number one focus.

If your sleep is being disrupted by being too hot or too cold, it is recommended that you opt for breathable bedding. This will help prevent you from overheating and perspiring, as the breathability of your bedding will allow moisture to be absorbed and dispersed.

 Filling 
By opting for bedding containing natural fillings, there will be more breathability that those made from synthetic materials. Natural fillings possess the ability to absorb and disperse excess moisture.
