How To Choose The Right Pillow

 
Love the feeling of down agaist your cheek, but not sure what kind of pillow will make your happy? Try this little quiz..
 

Do You Sleep On Your:

  1. Stomach or stomach and back
  2. Back or back and side
  3. Primarily on your sides
 

Do You Want Your Pillow To:

  1. Conform to your body and be moldable

In The Past, Have You Been Most Happy With Pillows That Are:

  1. Soft
  2. Medium
  3. Firm
Now add the numbers to determine what sort of pillow you ought to consider.
 
If you Scored 4-6:
Soft to Medium 
You are a softy.  Hypodown pillows with a soft to medium firmness will prevent your head from being raised too high and promote circulation by keeping your neck straight your sides
 

If you Scored 7-9:
Medium to Firm
Your sleeping habits require a little more support to keep the neck in line with the spine.  Medium to firm Hypodown pillows will work best.

 
If you Scored 10-12:
Firm to Extra Firm
You want a buoyant pillow that provides proper spine alignment, like the firm or extra firm Hypodown pillow

If a down pillow is not your cup of tea, I reccomend the Bucky pillow. You can shape this pillow to support your neck. The little pyramid shaped buckwheat hulls lock together and keep their shape. Many of us who have suffered with stiff necks and headaches swear by this pillow.
