3 Things You Need to Know Before Buying a Pillow
Recommended by Rosi Sexton, Osteopath at Olston Osteopathy
Choosing the right pillow can significantly improve your sleep quality and overall health. With the perfect pillow, you can bid farewell to neck pain, shoulder pain, headaches, and restless nights. Osteopath Rosie Sexton, with her 20 years of clinical experience, shares her top tips on finding the ideal pillow. Here are the three essential things you need to know before making your purchase.
Take a simple Test to find out which Pillow is best for you
Take the test
1. The Importance of Size
When it comes to pillows, size truly matters. An ill-fitting pillow can lead to poor sleep posture, causing discomfort and pain. For optimal comfort, your head should be aligned with your spine.
“Assess Your Needs: The right pillow should keep your head, neck, and shoulders aligned.
If your head is tilted too high or too low, you might wake up with aches and pains. If you are a side sleeper, you will need high loft pillow, if you are a back sleeper you will need a medium loft pillow and as a front sleeper you will need low loft pillow”
Adjustable pillows, like those from Brightr Sleep, are a great solution as you can easily adjust the pillow's height by adding or removing predesigned layers.

2. Choosing the Right Material & Firmness
The material of your pillow plays a crucial role in comfort and support. The wrong material can leave you tossing and turning all night. Additionally, materials define pillow firmness, which is essential in providing the right support for your sleep position.
“Down Alternative: Ideal for front and back sleepers who prefer a softer feel. The Brightr Nox pillow is a top choice in this category.
Hybrid Pillows: Best for combination sleepers, as they offer both softness and support. The Brightr Stella pillow is perfect for those who switch positions during the night.
Memory Foam Pillows: Great for side sleepers as they cradle the neck and adjust to the sleeper's position. Shredded memory foam pillows like the Brightr Luna offer medium-firm support, excellent for neck pains. For those seeking firm support, the Brightr Eclipse pillow is an excellent choice.
If you're unsure which pillow type is best for you, consider taking a pillow selection test to find your perfect match.”

3. Look for a 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
When investing in a new pillow, it's reassuring to know you can return it if it doesn't meet your needs. A 30-day money-back guarantee allows you to test the pillow and ensure it's the perfect fit.
“Why a Money-Back Guarantee Matters? A guarantee lets you try the pillow at home and return it if it doesn't provide the comfort and support you need. Brightr pillows offer a 30-day money-back guarantee, allowing you to try the pillow in the comfort of your home.”
