Pillow Talk: How to Choose the Right Pillow for Your Sleeping Position
When it comes to better sleep, your mattress does the heavy lifting — but your pillow plays a starring role in how rested (and pain-free) you feel in the morning. The right pillow keeps your head, neck, and spine properly aligned throughout the night, preventing stiffness and strain.
Here’s how to find your perfect match:
1. For Back Sleepers
Choose a medium pillow that supports the natural curve of your neck without pushing your head forward. Talalay latex pillows work beautifully because they contour gently to your shape while maintaining consistent support.
2. For Side Sleepers
Opt for a medium to firmer pillow to fill the space between your shoulder and head. This keeps your spine aligned and prevents neck tension. Our medium or firm talalay latex pillows have the perfect loft for this!
3. For Stomach Sleepers
Go for a soft, low-profile pillow — or even no pillow at all — to avoid forcing your neck into an awkward angle. A thinner pillow under the hips can also help maintain better alignment.
4. Replace When It’s Time
Even the best pillow doesn’t last forever. Replace yours every 1–2 years or when it starts to lose shape and support.
