Pillows

A suitable pillow is essential for restorative sleep and good neck support. With different shapes, sizes and filling types available, it can be difficult to find your way around. This article guides you through the key criteria for choosing the perfect pillow according to your needs.

The different types of pillows: square or rectangular?

Square: the timeless classic

The square pillow, often 60x60 cm or 65x65 cm, is the traditional model in France and Belgium. It is perfect for those who like to read or watch television in bed, as it provides good back support.

Rectangular: the neck support ally

Increasingly popular, the rectangular pillow, usually 50x70 cm, is recommended for sleepers looking for better neck alignment. It follows the line of the spine more naturally and reduces tension in the neck area.

Which filling should you choose?

Goose down pillows: premium comfort

Goose down filling is synonymous with softness and lightness. This type of pillow offers a plush feel while providing good support.

Synthetic pillows: the practical alternative

Synthetic filling, often made from siliconised polyester fibres, is an excellent alternative for those looking for easy care and a hypoallergenic solution.

• Do you sleep on your back? Choose a medium firm pillow.
