The right pillow can truly give you the beauty sleep you deserve.
It is widely-known that a good night’s sleep can help in every facet of your well-being, from alertness to mental and physical health. But even more so, people can tell when you’ve been tossing and turning all night. If you’re noticing bags under your bloodshot eyes, it may be time to consider the many reasons that you’re using the wrong pillow — and that it’s negatively affecting your much-needed beauty sleep! Here are some telltale signs and suggestions to pick the best pillow for gaining back the rest you need to look your best!
Options for the Right Pillow Design
On the surface, it may seem that selecting the proper pillow is an easy task, but pillow choices are as unique as the person resting upon them. The key for a genuinely restful night’s sleep is finding that “sweet spot” allowing your body to drift off to slumber naturally and effortlessly. The thing to remember is that for this to happen, your neck and body must be in a state of natural alignment — your head resting comfortably and squarely on your shoulders without any unnatural bending or twisting. If you find yourself bending backward or forward a little too much when you lay down, you’re definitely not going to fall asleep correctly, and it’ll take a lot of effort just to get comfortable. Only you know you’re own body and sleep habits, but try to select your pillow to match those needs. If you like to sleep on your back, opt for a thinner pillow that won’t require too much unnatural adjusting; if you sleep on your stomach, try for an even thinner pillow that aligns your body almost parallel to the bed itself.
The Materials Matter
Equally important to the size and shape of your pillow are the materials of the inside stuffing. Obviously, if you know you’re prone to specific allergies, you’ll already know which materials to stay away from. If not, the options should cater to your own, unique needs. Wool and cotton pillows are traditionally firm and hypoallergenic, making them resistant to mold and dust mites — perfect for Asthma sufferers. Also hypoallergenic, latex pillows are the firmest option, while still able to uniquely contour to your own body. Increasingly popular, memory foam pillows mold perfectly to your body, but there is a trade-off if you’re looking for the firmness of cotton or down alternatives.
