Pillows

A suitable pillow is essential for restful sleep and good cervical health. Between the different shapes, sizes and types of filling, it can be difficult to find your way around. This article guides you through the essential criteria for choosing the perfect pillow according to your needs.

The different types of pillows: square or rectangular?

Square: the timeless classic

The square pillow (often 60x60 cm or 65x65 cm) is the traditional model in France and Belgium. It is perfect for those who like to read or watch television in bed, because it provides good support for the back.

Rectangular: the ally of the cervical vertebrae

Increasingly popular, the rectangular pillow (generally 50x70 cm) is recommended for sleepers looking for better neck alignment. It follows the line of the spine better and reduces tension in the cervical area.

Which filling to choose?

Goose down pillows: high-end comfort

Goose down filling is synonymous with softness and lightness. This type of pillow offers a soft welcome while ensuring good support.

Synthetic pillows: the practical alternative

Synthetic fillings , often made from siliconized polyester fibers, are an excellent alternative for those looking for an easy-care and hypoallergenic solution.

How to choose the ideal pillow according to your sleeping position?

• Do you sleep on your back? Choose a medium-firm pillow.
