Pillows
Did you know pillows are equally as important as your mattress to the quality of your sleep? You could find the perfect mattress for your body type but if your pillow is old or lumpy, it could be hindering your spinal alignment and posture.
Your pillow is an important health investment and should be updated every 18-24 months. Pillows collect dead skin cells, mildew, mould, fungus, and dust mites. Over time, these unwelcome organisms can trigger allergies and interfere with the respiratory system, due to their close proximity to your head!
Thinking you might need a new pillow? Consider the following:
Fill
(i.e. memory foam, latex)
Size
(i.e. standard, euro, body)
Shape
(i.e. contour, high profile, low profile)
Your sleeping position also matters to your pillow choice; for example, back sleepers and stomach sleepers may need a low profile pillow to avoid craning the neck; side sleepers may require something higher profile to support the curve of the neck. This is why we recommend visiting our team to get fitted to a pillow that correctly supports your individual body shape and sleep style. We will also take into consideration the mattress you sleep on and suggest alternative options where applicable.
If you need further help picking a pillow, please don’t hesitate to contact a friendly member of our team.
Decorative
Making your bed look as beautiful as they do in magazines does not need to be a lengthy or difficult process! Once you’ve found your perfect mattress, look for these additional items for finishing touches:
Valance
– If you have a gap between the bottom of your bed and the floor, you may need a valance. A valance is a decorative drapery usually with a pleated or gathered border, designed to hang down over the sides of the bed to screen the space below it.
Pillowcases
– For the best look, these should match the colour of your sheets. Push the pillows right into the corners of the case so that the opening flap can be tucked over the end of the pillow.
Quilt Cover
– We recommend a Queen quilt for a Double bed, a King quilt for a Queen bed, and so on. Fitting the cover over the quilt can be a tricky process. TIP: turn the quilt cover inside out, put your arms inside and take hold of the corresponding corners of the quilt. From here, you can shake the quilt cover back the right way, keeping hold of those two corners the whole time. Once the corners are filled properly and the quilt is not folded in any places, button up the cover, and leave the end facing the bottom of the bed.
Decorative Pillows
– In addition to the matching pillowcases & sheets, you can also use two pillows which match the quilt cover; this will give the bed that “designer” look. Pile them up on top of the other pillows or sit them in front of the headboard.
The European Pillows
– These are big, fluffy and can make the bed look extra inviting. Have the colour scheme match the other four pillows, puff them out so they look comfy and sit them against the wall or headboard.
The Decorative Cushions
– These are smaller cushions that can change the appearance of the entire bed without costing a fortune. Try using odd numbers of cushions in different shapes and sizes until you find the perfect combination for a stunning bedroom.
The Throw or Coverlet
– The finishing touch! These are also very handy to have in the cooler months for relaxing on the couch or taking a nap. Fold the throw neatly or drape casually across the end of the bed.
