Pillows

To select the best pillow for you, consider its fill options. For tossers, turners, and rough sleepers alike, opt for foam support that will conform to your body—no matter the position it assumes. For back and side sleepers, or anyone who loves a cool, comfortable night’s rest, our down alternative pillow’s hypoallergenic fill gives you the featheriness of down without the threat of allergies, delivering the perfectbalance of support and softness. For those that sleep on their side and like to snuggle or need extra support during pregnancy, our body pillow is perfect for you. And lastly, those that aren’t sure what firmness they like best, our adjustable pillow offers you a choice between soft, medium and firm fills.

You’ll know it is time to replace it when it stops giving you proper support. If you are noticing flatness or lumps, it might be time as well. Other indicators would be waking up with neck or shoulder stiffness, an increase in allergy symptoms, it smelling funny or not able to remove stains anymore.

In an ideal world you would replace your pillows every few years but this time frame can vary based on several different types of factors. If your pillow is showing any of the following signs, it is probably time to part ways.

• Noticeable lumps in the foam or filler materials
• Permanent stains from body sweat and oil
• You start waking up with aches and pains in your neck and shoulders
• You are sneezing or wheezing more often when in bed
• You constantly have to fluff your pillow to get comfortable (feather pillows)
• You fold the pillow in half and it stays that way instead of expanding back out (feather and cotton pillows)

The Tuft & Needle Body Pillow makes the perfect cuddling counterpart for helping with difficult pregnancy sleep, providing extra support to side sleepers, or even just those who love to snuggle.

A protector is not required. While some people prefer the extra layer of protection a protector offers, it is completely optional.
