- a favorite posture in a dream - on the back it is more convenient to sleep on an average stiff pillow, a pillow for sleeping on the side should have a more rigid structure, on the stomach - a pillow with a soft filler is needed;
- stiffness of the mattress - the softer the mattress, the thinner the pillow for sleeping.
Shape of pillow
The most common forms of pillows are a rectangle and a square. However, there are several other forms of pillows - rollers, orthopedic pillows with a hollow for the head, special pillows for pregnant women, under the waist, under the neck for rest in a sitting position.

Cushion filler
Which pillows are best for sleep - with a natural or synthetic filler, the question is controversial. On the one hand, everything from time immemorial is considered safer and more useful. But, for example, in feather pillows the dust mites causing an allergy multiply perfectly. While in synthetic fillers they do not get along, thanks to which cushions with sintepuhom or holofayberom absolutely hypoallergenic.
A new trend in the part of fillers for pillows is the vegetable components. These are bamboo fibers, buckwheat husk, hop cones, corn fiber. These pillows perfectly relax thanks to the aromatherapeutic properties.
