Pillows Buying Guide

Picking the right pillow can be a confusing task. With such a vast range of shapes, sizes, fillings and casings on the market, where should you start?

With years of experience, research and development Homescapes understand that everyone is different. By listening to our customers and understanding their needs we are proud to offer a range of over 80 pillows, allowing you to choose a pillow that suits your sleeping style, filling preference and taking into account any allergies you may suffer from.

Choosing the Right Pillow
When choosing your pillow there are four things you need to ask yourself:

  • What’s position do I sleep in?
  • Which pillow filling do I prefer?
  • What size pillow do I need?
  • Do I suffer from any allergies?


This buyer guide will help you to answer these important question, informing you how our pillows are made and what pillow types suit different sleeping styles, all helping you to make an informed decision and find the right pillow for your needs.

 

Firstly, The Certification and Standards
As specialists in the pillow and bedding industry, when shopping with Homescapes, you are guaranteed to get the best quality products, manufactured to the highest standards. We are pleased to hold the certification of several, globally recognised standards that reinforce the quality research and development, design and manufacturing that has gone into each and every pillow.

 

What Position do I sleep in?

Knowing how you sleep, whether it is on your front, back, side or a mixture of all three, is the first part to get right. If you’re not sure, it is usually the position you find yourself in when you wake up in the morning, you could also ask your bed partner.

It is also important to use the correct number of pillows. Although many prefer to sleep on two pillows, sleep specialists suggest that most people would be better off only using one. This provides the correct level of head and neck support whilst keeping your spine properly aligned whilst you are asleep. So if you’re only using one pillow, you want it to be the one.

TIP: If you suffer with back, neck or shoulder pain it may be worth sourcing a specialist pillow, this may be specially designed to support you, like a v-shaped pillow or something more unique like a buckwheat pillow.

  • We recommend white duck or goose down & softer polyester fillings.
  • We recommend a feather & down mix, and medium polyester fillings.
  • Firm pillows for spine alignment.
  • We recommend white goose or duck feather, and memory foam fillings

Which Pillow Filling do I prefer?

You may have a preference between natural and synthetic fillings and this may be a long standing decision that you have stood by for all of your past pillow decisions.
