Bamboo Cooling Pillow with Adjustable Loft 4D Mesh Design

Once you have brought your new mattress home, you want to pair it with the perfect pillow set. The right pillows can create an inviting look and feel, but they can also improve the quality of your sleep. The pillow size that is right for you will depend on your sleep position and mattress size. This article outlines the most common pillow sizes, shapes, and materials to help you find the ideal pair for your bed. Plus, we explain how to select the best bamboo cooling pillow loft for your sleep position.

Sleeping Position and Bamboo Cooling Pillow Loft

A Bamboo Cooling Pillow Loft refers to its height, and your sleep position can help determine the height that is right for you. The most important thing is that the head and neck rest in alignment with the spine so muscles can fully relax.

Side Sleeping

When resting on your side, there will be a gap between the head and the surface of the mattress. Side sleepers need a medium to high loft bamboo pillow to fill this gap and adequately support the head. The correct pillow height will keep the head in line with the spine, so the neck is not forced up or down. If the pillow is too high, it will push the neck upward, putting pressure on the spine. If the loft is too low, the neck will be supported- leaving you with stiff, sore neck muscles.

Back Sleeping

Back sleepers need to keep the head and neck aligned with the spine to avoid tension and pressure buildup in the back and neck. A medium loft bamboo pillow will prevent the head from being forced upward or from sagging with no support. This loft will keep the spine neutral and reduce any strain on the neck.

Stomach Sleeping

Stomach sleeping exaggerates the natural curve of the spine, putting pressure on the neck and back. Therefore, stomach sleepers need a low loft pillow to help lessen the curve and reduce tension. Stomach sleepers may also benefit from placing a smaller pillow under their hips- this will lift the hips slightly and bring the lower half of the spine in alignment with the head and neck.
