Glossary
Firm
The pillow will hold its shape when used and not give in or sink
in. A firm pillow will provide good support throughout the night,
which can be important to someone suffering with neck pain. On the
downside, the pillow may cause discomfort or pain on the head and
ears because it lacks softness.
Medium
The pillow hold it shape only moderately and sinks in some when
used. In other words, it provides a combination of support and softness.
Medium firmness is probably best for the needs of the majority of
people.
Soft
The pillow is cushy and provides little if any support. One's head
on a soft pillow will often sink down low in it. It is probably
not good for side sleepers in particular because their heads need
more support to keep the neck in a proper, neutral position.
Mouldable
The pillow can be easily shaped and is conformable. This can help
it to be more supportive.
Contoured
support
The pillow is shaped to provide proper neck support or can be shaped
to do so. A memory foam pillow, for example, has contours designed
to give support, while a buckwheat can be molded to provide contoured
support.
Cuddly
The pillow is soft and moldable, as opposed to firm and stiff.
Quickly
auto adjusts
The pillow adjust automatically to your head and neck when you move
on it, as opposed to you having to adjust the pillow manually to
contour to your head and neck.
Won't
clump or shift
The fill in the pillow stays evenly distributed and won't collect
on one side or develop hollow spots.
Adjustable
firmness and loft / height
The fill can be easily added or removed to increase or decrease
firmness and height.
Good
for back sleeping
The pillow is of low to medium loft and has at least average support.
Good
for side sleeping
The pillow is of medium to high loft with at least average contoured
support.
Good
for stomach sleeping
The pillow is of low loft and is soft.
Quiet
The fill does not make noise when the pillow is moved or when you
lay or move your head on it.
Lightweight
The pillow weighs no more than one or two pounds.
No
smell
There is no odor or off gassing to speak of.
Good
air flow
The pillow breathes which discourages moisture and sleeping hot.
Hypoallergenic
The fill does not cause in most people allergies and it has some
natural protection against attracting large dust mite populations.
Durable
(0-5 years)
Expected to last less than five years because it fairly easily wears
out or loses support and comfort.
Durable
(6-10 years)
Expected to last many years and maintain support and comfort.
Easy
to care for
Washing, drying and maintaining support and comfort require limited
effort.
Low
