BEDDING
HOWTO CHOOSE YOUR PILLOW
Depending on your mattress Pay attention to the elasticity of your mattress, which plays an key role in the choice of firmness and thickness of your pillow. The softer your mattress, the less thick your pillow will need to be to keep your head in line with your neck and spine. Conversely, the firmer your mattress, the more space you need to fill between the mattress and the back of your neck. You can consider firmer, thicker pillows. Depending on your sleeping position Do you sleep on your stomach? Choose a very soft pillow to keep your vertebrae aligned and to prevent your swallowing muscles and windpipe from being under strain. Depending on the softness of your mattress, you can even manage without a pillow. Do you sleep on your back? Your pillow should preferably be firm to ensure that your neck is well supported. Ideally, your head should sink a third into the pillow. Do you sleep on your side? Your pillow should be soft and fill the gap between your shoulder and your head. In this case, choose a pillow with a side strip (see photo), which will not crush during the night and will offer you the necessary support. Do you suffer from neck pain? Various orthopaedic pillows (half-core foam, half-down or Ergogel) will fit and support your head ideally.
QUESTIONS / ANSWERS Can goose feather duvets and pillows be machine washed? Yes, at 60°C, but as little as possible. It is better to protect your pillow with an additional protective under pillowcase. When should you replace your duvet? A duvet should be changed every 3 to 5 years, and a pillow every 3 years, because the feathers settle and lose their hold. Where do the feathers come from? All our products have the "Swiss Guaranty VSB" label created by the Swiss Bedding Manufacturers Association. It includes Downpass certification and guarantees that animals are not plucked live.
