Why buy an ergonomic pillow?
We speak of an ergonomic pillow to designate this type of pillow with a specific format, generally rounded at the ends, which ensures a high level of comfort at night, from the base of the head to the pelvis, including the neck. Most models are made from memory foam, also known as memory foam. This material is thermoreactive. Indeed, firm at first glance, the memory foam softens on contact with the head and the neck, thus allowing the muscles to relax. When you move, the material follows the contours of your body to adapt to each of your positions. Based on this observation, this type of pillow offers its share of benefits. It guarantees good support for the neck and spine, and relieves pressure points. Generally,the ergonomic pillow optimizes the quality of sleep, through its shape and composition. It is therefore recommended for back pain or neck pain, as well as for the elderly or frail. It is important to note that a memory foam pillow is more expensive than a so-called “classic” pillow. However, the game is worth the candle: comfort above all! Some people also have difficulty adjusting at first. It can take several days up to a month. Finally, remember that not all ergonomic pillows are made from memory foam. Some are made of latex, microfibers or polyester.It is important to note that a memory foam pillow is more expensive than a so-called “classic” pillow.

What are the other types of pillows?
Each product has its specificities. The latex pillow, for example, is extremely durable. It is ideal for people who sweat a lot at night, thanks to its breathable properties. It is also recommended if you sleep on your stomach or if you suffer from allergies, because it has antibacterial qualities. The polyester pillow is widely adopted in French homes. In question: its cozy, soft welcome, its malleability and its lightness. Besides that, it is odorless, breathable and easy to maintain: 3 major advantages on the market. However, this type of pillow tends to sag after a while, which is not without consequences for your comfort over time. Note that some pillows are made of microfibers,which offer better swelling and more comfort compared to a traditional polyester pillow. It is also possible to buy a down or feather pillow, a filling that is soft and comfortable. However, it can be bulky or allergenic. Finally, you have the opportunity to opt for a wool pillow, which offers a cozy effect and flexible comfort. To choose your pillow, you have to ask yourself the right questions. While some designs are more comfortable than others, there is no right or wrong pillow. Each need has its own type of pillow! For example, a person who usually sleeps on his stomach must turn to a flat or soft pillow, at the risk of waking up with pain.People who sleep on their side or on their back can opt for a firmer and thicker product. It is up to each person to determine the level of support sought, according to their preferences and their morphology.
