How Many Pillows Should I Have?
In contemporary interior design today, it’s common to style the bed with multiple pillow combinations, including standard rectangular pillows, European pillows and other smaller accent pillows. While visually appealing, it can make you wonder: how many pillows are really necessary from a practical standpoint? The answer depends on your individual sleeping habits and needs.
Bamboo Haus provides a range of quality bamboo sleep pillows across Australia, including a cooling gel pillow and customisable bamboo memory foam pillow. Below, we uncover exactly how many pillows you really need.
Sleep with one good pillow
Outside of interior design considerations, one good quality pillow is all anyone should require for a comfortable, supportive night’s sleep. If you find you need more than one pillow, it’s usually because there’s something wrong with the pillow you’re using. Either it isn’t right for your body type or sleeping habits, or it doesn’t provide enough support due to poor quality or aging.
Finding the Right Pillow
The key to a comfortable and supportive sleep is a pillow that facilitates neutral spine alignment. Determine the ideal pillow height, size and shape based on your sleeping position and personal preferences. We suggest you start with a good quality, high comfort pillow, such as a bamboo memory foam pillow.
The general rule is that medium to high profile pillows are good for back sleepers and side sleepers, while low profile pillows are better for stomach sleepers. In reality, it comes down to personal preference, so go with what helps you wake up feeling your best. Side sleepers can also benefit from a second pillow placed between the knees to further support a neutral spine alignment.
