The best pillows do more than simply help you get a good night’s sleep. The right pillow supports your neck, shoulders and spine throughout the night, helping to maintain good posture and reduce aches and pains when you wake up.
But while many of us are diligent about washing our bedding regularly, pillows themselves are often overlooked. Many people don’t realise that, over time, pillows can absorb sweat, body oils, dead skin cells, and even harbour dust mites, all of which can affect not only how fresh they feel, but also how long they last. In some cases, dirty pillows can even aggravate allergies and impact sleep quality without you realising.
