Choosing the correct pillow is a major factor in achieving healthy sleep but is often underestimated. From an orthopaedic perspective, a pillow should hold your head and enable your cervical spine to stay in its natural position, in a relaxed manner. dormiente pillows are made of 100% pure natural latex and removable organic hemp and cotton covers, with no synthetic materials. Our pillows are height adjustable to suit the needs of different neck and shoulder profiles and different sleeping positions. Comfort, temperature balance and good moisture absorption are important criteria to enable comfortable sleep throughout the humid nights in Singapore.
Personal preferences, such as having your head in an elevated position, are often counterproductive to healthy sleep. You also have to take into account your actual position during sleep. Waking up every morning with stiffness and tension in your neck and shoulders may indicate incorrect positioning of your head during sleep.
Pillow Size Matters
Dormiente pillows are ideally sized in 40x80cm, as the recommended size by many orthopaedists and physiotherapists. To ensure that your mattress can optimally support your shoulders, only your head and neck should be touching your pillow. This is not the case for bigger pillows, such as 80x80cm, where part of your upper body is resting on the pillow. When pillows are narrower than 80cm, individuals with broad shoulders tend to prop up their pillows with their arms, causing compression or pain in neck and shoulders.
Keep A Cool Head
Make sure that your head and neck area is kept in a healthy micro-climate. Perspiration occurs quickly, especially in this area, which is why a pillow needs to be made from materials that can effectively absorb moisture and release it in the form of gas. This way you don’t start to sweat. Natural materials such as cotton are particularly good at this, synthetic materials much less so.
Keeping Your Pillow Clean
All Dormiente pillows are equipped with an additional, washable cover made from high purity 100% organic cotton and hemp, ideal for those with allergies.
