How do I pick the right pillow to complement my new mattress?

Choosing the perfect pillow is all about balancing comfort and support while taking into account your personal sleep style. Factors such as firmness, thickness, and pillow fill (foam, feather, etc.) can greatly impact how comfortable you feel. Here are some tips:

1. Test It on Your Mattress: Since a pillow may feel different depending on the mattress, it’s best to try your chosen pillow on the same mattress you plan to buy—or already own.
2. Consider Your Sleep Position: Side sleepers usually need a firmer, thicker pillow to keep the neck aligned; back or stomach sleepers often prefer a softer, thinner option.
3. Select Your Preferred Fill: Foam pillows offer consistent support, while feather or down pillows are softer and more easily molded to your shape.
4. Check Firmness Levels: Some people enjoy plush, others prefer firm—test different types to find the right balance that suits your neck and spine.
5. Adjust as Needed: If possible, look for pillows that allow you to remove or add fill to customize the height and firmness.

Remember, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. The key is to try different pillows and choose the one that feels most comfortable and supportive for your body and sleep style.
