Episode description

It would be tough to argue that one of the most important factors that influence your sleep is right under your nose (literally, depending on what position in which you sleep). Our pillow plays a big role in our sleep comfort and quality. In this episode we will:

  • Touch upon when kids should begin using pillows for their sleep
  • Look at evidence suggesting that few people give deep consideration to their pillow and of those who do, the majority may still be making the wrong choice
  • List the various pillow fillings (feather, wool, latex, etc.) and their relative strengths and weaknesses
  • Determine which pillow types tend to create the most spinal support
  • Lay out the factors that go into pillow fitting
  • Understand the supportive and comfort goals of a well-fit pillow
  • Dive into the factors that tend to influence pillow purchases
  • Discuss other uses of pillows besides head support
  • Go through some disorders that can be improved with proper pillow selection.
