Confused about buying a bed? – Part 3
Choosing the right pillow also plays a huge role in getting a good night’s sleep. The pillow supports the head, relieves pressure on the cervical spine, and prevents the neck muscles from being overstretched.
At the same time, the pillow is the most heavily used part of the bed next to the mattress: On average, it supports approximately 4.7 kg night after night, withstands up to 40 head movements, and absorbs heat and moisture released by the head.
Pillows come in countless shapes, heights, and materials—which one suits you best depends, among other things, on the following factors:
- Sleeping position
- Head shape
- Shoulder width
- Slatted frame and mattress
- Sweating habits
Professional advice is therefore essential. And since you’re unlikely to find your perfect pillow by trying it out in the store for just 5 minutes, our specialty stores offer trial pillows that you can test in your own bed over several nights.
By the way, a neck pillow from the IG-RLS in-house range, which features a modular system, can be perfectly adapted to your personal needs.
