Your neck and spine have a natural curve. A supportive pillow keeps your head in line with that curve while you sleep, instead of tilting it up, down or sideways. Here are six things to check when you choose one.
1. A height that keeps your head level with your spine
Too high and your head tips forward or up. Too low and it drops back or sideways. The right pillow height keeps your head, neck and spine in a straight line in your usual sleeping position.
2. A height matched to your frame
Two people who sleep the same way can need different heights. Broader shoulders need a higher pillow, especially on your side.
- Small to medium frame: Low Profile (Softecâ„¢) or Impressions Low Profile (memory foam).
- Medium to large frame: High Profile (Softecâ„¢) or Impressions High Profile (memory foam).
3. A contoured shape with two neck heights
A contoured pillow is shaped to support the neck. Many Dentons contoured pillows offer two neck support heights at the front and back edge, so you can turn the pillow to change height. Browse the Contoured Range.
4. Support that holds through the night
A pillow that compresses flat by morning stops supporting you partway through the night. Look for a foam that keeps its shape. Every pillow in our Therapeutic Range is moulded from Softecâ„¢, Dentons' patented foam blend, which is soft to the touch yet supportive enough to keep your head aligned.
5. A material that suits how you move
- Memory foam moulds to your head and neck, then slowly returns to shape. It suits sleepers who change position. See the memory foam range.
- Softecâ„¢ is soft to the touch yet supportive, with an open cell structure for breathability.
- Both: Ultime is co-moulded from memory foam and Softecâ„¢.
6. A chance to try it before you buy
Due to health regulations, pillows cannot be returned for change of mind once used, so it pays to test first. Try pillows in your usual sleeping position at a Dentons stockist, or contact our team for help choosing.
