How supportive is your bed?
If you’ve a soft Hästens you may only need a slim pillow to help keep your body aligned as you sleep. In some cases, we’ve known individuals with soft Hästens to not even need a pillow.
Are you too warm?
Hopefully you’re already a Hästens owner and therefore always at the perfect temperature for sleep. However, in some countries where seasonal temperature changes dramatically you may need a set of bedding for both summer and winter. And don’t forget to make sure you’re not stifling the breathability of your bedding in a super high thread count—which in some cases is as restrictive as a synthetic pillow.
Do you move around lots?
Nobody stays completely still as they sleep. That’s a pipe dream. If you move a lot while you sleep, explore a slightly slimmer pillow that won’t restrict and disturb your movement.
Think about the filling.
If you like to feel like you’re being cradled by softness then down is perfect for you. Our pillows are down proof, which means that you’ll never get any ends poking out to tickle you. And down regulates temperature really well, to keep you cool or warm when you need it.
You’re allergic to down?
If you’re allergic to down then invest in a hypoallergenic pillow cover. You’ll still get the benefits of its superior softness without those inconvenient snuffles.
Buy more, look better.
Not you personally, your room… A handful of pillows can turn a bedroom into a sleep spa with nothing more than a shake and a karate chop in the middle to help them hold their shape. Scatter them at will.
Front or back?
If you sleep on your front or your back we’d recommend a flatter, thinner pillow to put less stress on your spine.
A ‘sidey’?
Side sleepers tend to get on better with a fuller pillow. It's an alignment thing - sleeping on your shoulders will lift your neck so it’ll thank you for a little extra support.
