Protecting the pillow and your health
The use of a protective pillow cover is necessary. It protects from different body secretions, for example sweat or saliva. At the same time it keeps the pillow clean throughout its lifetime without the need to wash it regularly.
How to choose the right pillow
-
Consider your sleeping position
-
Consider your body type;
More specifically the distance between your shoulders -
Consider the firmness of your mattress
When do I need to change my pillow?
-
When buying a new mattress. Depending on the softness of the new mattress and the sleep position we usually take, we should note the change in the distance between our shoulders and neck. Ideally, with the purchase of a new mattress, we should choose the right pillow, always after a thorough testing in-store.
-
When we feel neck pain, headache or arm numbness. We often face health problems which do not allow us to perform as usual, both in our professional and private life. The wrong pillow can intensify or even create any of the above-mentioned health issues.
-
When it is no longer a place of comfort. With time and daily use, a pillow’s materials are affected and subjected to alterations, resulting in sleep breaks during the night.
-
When it is dirty. During the night, we often sweat, resulting in the yellowish change of colour
in our pillow. -
When it is recommended by our doctor. Gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD is a condition which causes great discomfort to many people, especially the elderly, the obese, women during their pregnancy and children. Innocent Breath is a triangular pillow, especially designed to stop the contact of stomach acidities with the oesophagus.
Pillows are often infected with fungi. Fungi survive on the pillow and are nurtured off bug residuals found in dust or human skin. It is with these invisible creatures that we share our bed; changing our pillow every 2 to 3 years is essential to a good night’s sleep and for our health in general.
The relationship we have with our pillow is unique. It is a personal and familiar relationship: we confess on our pillow, cry on it and hug it at our best and at our worst. This means that it is important to know when our pillow needs to be replaced and what kind of new pillow we need to buy to suit our specific circumstances, always after carefully trying it in-store.
