Is it time for a new pillow?

If you are experiencing a stiff neck, a crick in your neck or an achy back it may be time for a new pillow. Most pillows last anywhere from 1 to 7 years and having the right pillow will improve your sleep.

If you want a simple test to see if its time to replace your pillow just fold it in half and it should spring back. If it doesn't its too old. Your pillow should keep your head aligned with your neck. If you are a stomach sleeper you need a flatter pillow for head and neck alignment and if you are a side sleeper you will require a thicker pillow to achieve the same results.

Today there are so many choices in pillows with different fillings. There are down pillows, latex pillows, memory foam pillows to name just a few. The type of pillow you choose is a matter of personal preference.
