  • Pay attention to the cushion width: it should be about one meter long so as to accommodate the width of the shoulders and ensure that the head does not slip to one side during sleep.
  • Replace your pillow every 3-5 years.
  • If you suffer from posture problems, choose a ergonomic latex pillowThis natural material, like Memory Foam, is also very suitable for those with dust mite allergies.
