Replace Your Worn Out Pillow with a Foam Pillow
Do you have a feeling that you might need to replace your old, tired pillow
Made of the same material found in the visco elastic foam mattress, a memory foam pillow offers support that is unmatched by other materials. Memory foam gently yields to the weight of your body, conforming to its natural curvature without pushing back on sensitive pressure points. Another significant benefit found through purchasing a foam pillow is a significant increase in longevity. In fact, it's not uncommon for high quality memory foam pillows to last beyond 10 years before needing to be replaced. When selecting a foam pillow it's important to pay close attention to its density rating, since this will determine its overall quality and support potential.
A good rule of thumb is to purchase memory foam with a density rating between 3 and 5 pounds per cubic foot, which will provide the perfect amount of support. Ignore the cheaper, less dense pillows that claim to be just as good as or better than the higher quality versions. These lower quality pillows typically have a density rating between just 1 and 2 pounds per cubic foot and feel somewhat similar to your kitchen dish sponge. You wouldn't sleep on an oversized dish sponge, would you? Of course you wouldn’t, so be sure to spend the money on a quality pillow. On average, you should expect to pay around $100.00 for a standard sized memory foam pillow. While this may seem expensive, remember that one of these pillows will last more than 10 times longer than a traditional pillow. Plus, it will offer you the support you need to achieve the restful night of sleep that you deserve.
