Criteria for choosing the right pillow

Sleeping position

Back sleepers
Back sleepers need a pillow that supports the neck well and lifts the head slightly – this keeps the spine in a neutral position.

Side sleepers
A thicker pillow is ideal for side sleepers as it provides sufficient support for the head and neck and allows the spine to be aligned straight.

Stomach sleepers
Stomach sleepers should choose a thinner pillow to avoid neck tension and relieve pressure on the spine.

Material and filling
The choice of material is crucial. Fillings made of memory foam, down or synthetic fibers offer different advantages in terms of support and comfort.

Size and height of the pillow
The size and height of your pillow should be individually adjusted to your body size and sleeping position to ensure optimum comfort.
