FAQs

What pillow is best for side sleepers?

A firm, thick pillow (12–15cm loft) that fills the gap between your shoulder and ear. Memory foam or latex holds its shape best.

How often should I replace my pillow?

Every 1–2 years. Fold your pillow in half — if it does not spring back, it has lost its support and needs replacing.

Are memory foam pillows worth it?

Yes. They contour to your head and neck, maintain consistent support, and last longer than fibre pillows. Allow 2–3 nights to adjust.
