We’ve been giving advice on pillows and sleep for nearly a decade. Below we’ve posted some of the most useful FAQs / readers’ questions to help you find the right pillow for you. If you would like to get in touch with a question that we haven’t yet answered, do drop us a line on our Contact Us page. Memory Foam Children's pillow? Hi Nicola, Your email was really well timed as we've just reviewed a fantastic pillow by Panda pillows which our teenage reviewer has fallen in love with. Panda use memory foam and bamboo and an organic cotton cover for their pillows and they come in three sizes: adult, child size and a baby / toddler size. We'd massively recommend the child-size pillow. Good for any age from 3 to 16. Actually good after that too if you don't want to take a big pillow with you on sleepovers or travelling. We're just ordering 2 more for our kids as they are fighting over the one we've already got.

I hope you enjoy them. Hi, Please kindly explain the difference of these pillows you advise to " Latex pillows "? Also these pillows you advise do i need a pillow underneath if so which type of pillow please ? I suffer chronic fatigue synd but i don't like U shaped pillows/ body pillows. Soak & Sleep company never amended my address i was fortunate courier knows me from delivering previous parcels. IT,S A COMPLETE NIGHT MARE GETTING CORRECT PILLOW THERE'S TOO MANY ON MARKET NOWADAYS. Hi Sue, Latex pillows are a very good choice for those who suffer from back and neck problems but can be a little warmer than natural fillings, and don't really have the 'marshmallow' feeling you are describing. This is why I did not recommend them to you in your last email. However, if you buy one with a 100% cotton cover which is also washable, it could be a good solution for you - they are fantastic for Derila Neck Relief Pillow and head pain and many sufferers swear by them.

Have a look at the review we wrote here of the latex Super Comfort Dunlopillo, or go straight to the less firm, softer Dunlopillo Serenity Pillow here (best for back sleepers). You shouldn't need another pillow underneath. Also - thanks for your comments about Soak and Sleep. We'll definitely look into this to see if anyone else has had a negative experience. Hi pillow advisor, My local bedding retailer is selling a 'Kaymed IKOOL' - memory pillow with integrated gel for keeping cool. Have you come across such a pillow? Im a side sleeper with neck issues now and then. Looking for a solution. Hi Joseph, thanks for getting in touch. We've not tried this pillow before, it sounds like it could be a little gimmicky. Is both neck pain and overheating an issue for you? If it's mostly dealing with neck pain and you're a side sleeper then the best approach is to ensure you've got just the right amount of head support so that your neck is held straight.

A firm microfibre pillow or memory foam can do this, you might need to experiment a little to find the right one for you. Might be worth giving the Kaymed one a go, especially if your local retailer could let you try it on for size. Washable feather / down pillow? I mainly sleep on my tummy with my head to one side and my arms crossed across my chest. Sometimes I wake up and I'm more on my side but still with arms crossed. I gather I need a softish pillow and I prefer feather/down as I can pummel it into the right shape under my neck which I can't do with microfibre. My main problem really is that I get a very sweaty head (I'm 70) especially on very warm nights, so it doesn't really seem worth spending a lot on a pillow that would have to be thrown out after a while.
