If you are currently looking to buy pillows you have probably realised that you have a lot of options available to you.  There are so many different types of pillows to choose from that you may feel a bit snowed under with decisions.  Hopefully we can help you a little bit – below are the most common types of pillows available and a little bit about each one.

• Down – down pillows are said to be the comfiest type of pillow available.  These do however tend to be quite expensive.  Down pillows keep you warm and retain their shape but they are not suitable for people with allergies.
• Down and Feather Blend – these pillows have some of the benefits of a pure down pillow however they do tend to be firmer depending on how many feathers are included.  Again these aren’t suitable for people with allergies.
• Synthetic – synthetic pillows are usually filled with polyester.  These are the ideal choice for people who suffer from allergies and they are also the most affordable type of pillow available.  They are however not as soft as down pillows and as each make varies you would be better off comparing them side by side if you have the chance.
