Pillow Q&A
The 7 most frequently asked questions about pillows?
- When is the best time to buy a pillow?
- How to know your pillow is too flat or too high? If your head sinks into your pillow or sits at an angle, you might want to adjust your pillow stuffing. If it’s very high, try fluffing it with some stuffing underneath until you have it just right.
- What are two materials that are generally used in the cover of pillows? Two materials that are generally used in the cover of pillows are cotton and silk.
- How should I clean my pillow? Clean your pillow frequently, so it would depend on how dirty it is after each use. Usually, cold water will suffice in most cases. Then, leave it out to dry overnight, so no bacteria grows inside the pillow. However, if your pillow is extremely dirty, you can put it in the washing machine on cold water but do not use bleach on your pillow.
- How big should my pillow be? Your pillow should have a 14-inch circumference due to the fact that most people’s shoulders and necks are 14 inches wide. If your pillow covers these areas, you will be able to sleep comfortably and not be in pain due to the size of the pillow.
- How often should I change my pillow? You should change your pillows every 2 years because as you sleep, dirt and oils from your hair seep into the filling of your pillow and become compacted. The stuffing inside then becomes damaged beyond repair.
- How do I fluff a pillow? To fluff a pillow, you need to squeeze the air out of it and then put something heavy on it for an hour or so until all the air has been pushed back into your pillow. Then, flip your pillow over and repeat the process on the other side. If you have this problem, you can also try putting it in the dryer for a few minutes to fluff it up.
Today we are answering the seven most frequently asked questions about picking the perfect pillow. There’s no one pillow fits all rule for any sleep style so there are some general recommendations and answers to consider when you’re shopping for a side sleeper pillow.
Pillow Brothers answers the first question what are the best pillows for side sleepers. (Important picking a new pillow is getting one that works for your sleeping style and supports your neck and spine properly.)
Best pillow for side sleepers?
When picking a pillow for side sleepers, it is important that you choose a firm and customizable pillow. These pillows mold to your head and give support to the neck and spine. A side sleeper’s pillow should be able to fill the space between your shoulder and ear as well as be wide enough to support your head and shoulders without sinking in or having an awkward angle. For side sleepers, we recommend selecting one of our Cooling Gel Pillows in the ‘Soft’ or ‘Medium’ level of support.
The KUSHN Pillow by Pillow Brothers is perfect for side sleepers because it is very firm with good back support without any awkward angles. It also has an ergonomic design that allows you to adjust the height of your pillow by adding or removing the foam fill.

Best pillow for stomach sleepers?
Stomach sleepers need a very firm and thin pillow because the weight of their head is resting on their chest cavity which will flatten out any pillows. But, stomach sleepers should also avoid a pillow that’s too high or it’ll push them further down into an awkward position. We recommend one of our memory foam pillows to give you the support you need while still being thin enough for your sleep style. For stomach sleepers, we recommend selecting one of our Memory Foam Pillows in the ‘Soft’ or ‘Medium’ level of support.

Next most favorite question is one of my personal questions, what are some benefits of sleeping on a pillow?
When your pillow makes you sick:
-The risk of developing arthritis in your shoulder from sleeping on your side
-If you keep waking up with a sore neck, it is possible you are sleeping on the wrong pillow.
-If you wake up with a headache every morning, the wrong pillow could be the culprit. Because your head and neck are not aligned, which can cause extra stress on the muscles in your neck and face. A good pillow should help keep your spine straight when you sleep and give you enough support.
-If you keep waking up in the same position in bed, it is because your pillow might not be working for you. Pillows should help support your neck but if your neck ends up in a different position than when you went to sleep, maybe your pillow isn’t working for you! When sleeping on your side, you should have enough support to keep your spine straight and your head from sinking in too far.
-Keeping a good pillow will help prevent the development of wrinkles on your face as well as ease tension in your shoulders and neck which can relieve pain during the day.
