The nicest pillow ever!

People, ay !!! Help me choose a pillow !!! All my life we ​​slept on feathers, but their service life has long expired ... I want more ...

People, ay !!! Help me choose a pillow !!! All my life we ​​slept on feathers, but their service life has long expired ... I want more ...

Gasha, what if you clean it with ultrasound? They will be like new! An honest word.

Don't ... They are already in the village ... I want a new one ...

I also wanted to throw mine away, but now, but in others I am not strong.

For the last 7 years we have been sleeping on orthopedic pillows. Not immediately used to it, but now everything is OK. I gave up feather pillows. With the current choice of artificial fillers, choose only for density and size. I like the so called silicone filler. These pillows can be machine washed. Sintepon, it seems to me, can get lost in lumps.

Helen, how can you clean it with ultrasound?

Maybe Lena meant cleaning not with ultrasound, but with ultraviolet light?
And we have long ago given up on down and feathers. We sleep on holofiber.

Lorik, I have already googled and found what it is. In St. Petersburg, we also have such a service, on special devices they process and blow a down-feather, and then fall asleep in a new bed-case. You just need to understand the principle. There are people who don't recognize artificial fillers. And pure down pillows are quite expensive. For them, ultrasonic cleaning is a good solution.

Lorik, and in more detail?

Gashun is artificial fluff. The pads are soft, comfortable and washable. I am an asthmatic, so this is what I need! Although I have some expensive (donated) duvets, supposedly also hypoallergenic, and I also have no reaction to them. Go to the store, see for yourself, feel, these pillows are different, and the prices for them are also different, there are very inexpensive ones.

With the current choice of artificial fillers, choose only for density and size. I like the so-called silicone filler. These pillows can be machine washed.

And it is desirable that the filler is balls. Then it doesn't go astray. From time to time I wash my pillows, everything

I'll ask more here. Girls, who can tell me this is actually an orthopedic pillow?
🔗

Lorik, the fact of the matter is that I can't go ... I should order on an Internet ...

Oh ... I'm sorry .... Then listen to other opinions. And I'm for holofiber. It is believed that it "breathes", does not absorb moisture and odors, does not roll, creates an unfavorable environment for the spread of mites, fungi and bacteria. True, even though they write that it is possible to wash, I only wash pillowcases, and I change the pillows themselves once a year - they are no more expensive than good tights.

[natalisha_31]

natalisha_31 here I have the same orthopedic hood in shape, but from Kariguz, I can only sleep on it ...
and other pillows are bamboo and eucalyptus, 50x70 ..

[often]

It says here that it is not advisable to wash pillows from holofiber in a typewriter, even contraindicated

How to properly wash holofiber pillows so that after washing the pillows do not lose their shape? Do you think all that simple...
Indeed, the manufacturer often claims that, unlike pillows with other synthetic fillers, holofiber, consisting of hollow balls, does not roll or fall off, it can often wash even in washing machine... And for persuasiveness, a "Delicate machine wash" tag is attached to the pillows.
What to do, the manufacturer can be understood, because he needs to sell more and more pillows.And if the pillows last for a very long time, then who needs new ones?

I have been using these pillows for over 10 years now, and I want to share the experience that I have accumulated during this time.
I must say right away that holofiber pillows can be washed in a washing machine can't!
Regardless of the temperature and washing mode, this fluffy and resilient filling, which initially looks like this:



As a result, after a few washes it turns into such dense, not elastic balls at all. Sleeping on such a pillow is not at all comfortable.



Please note that these are not cheap pillows, but a well-known brand. Bauer.
Unlike pillow manufacturers and sellers who advise washing pillows 5-6 times a year, I don't see the point in this.
If, as the manufacturer claims, holofiber has zero hygroscopicity (does not absorb moisture, sweat), "breathes", does not retain odors, does not roll, does not crumble (no dust, microparticles), creates an environment that is unfavorable for the spread of dust mites, fungi, bacteria , then why wash it so often?
I erase such pillows completely once a year and only with your hands. I pour lukewarm water into a basin, add soft detergent for wool or shampoo for hair, immerse holofiber in a pillowcase (napernik) into the basin and leave for half an hour. Then I shake it lightly, turn it over several times, rinse it well and leave it on the wire rack (stick) to let the water glass. I dry on the balcony in the sun and breeze, shaking constantly. Of course, a pillowcase from this wash does not stretch. Therefore, after the holofiber dries, I unpick the pillowcase, shake the filler into the basin and wash the pillowcase separately, and, if necessary, bleach or change to a new one.
I wash my pillowcase more often. In this case, I don’t wash holofiber at all, but simply put it in a basin and put it on air and "breathe" in the sun.
Of course, this is more troublesome than just putting a pillow in the washing machine and turning on the program, but when I wash it by hand, the pillows have served me for more than 5 years, and the first pillows that I washed in the washing machine fell into disrepair in less than two years.
Moreover, holofiber is very different from feather so that it does not fly in different directions... Getting it out and shaking it out into the basin is not so difficult and difficult.
If you read this advice too late, and the holofiber in your pillows rolled up and fell off, and your hand does not rise to throw away the pillow, then the holofiber can be restored if desired.
The point is laborious.
You will need a comb-massage with large teeth and a brush for wool. You can buy a combing brush at any pet store.

Spread holofiber on a massage and use a wool brush to comb it until it acquires "fluffiness".





Better of course replace holofiber. I will tell you a "terrible" secret, holofiber can be ordered in specialized stores that sell pillows and blankets, and it costs much cheaperthan ready-made pillows. A 40x60 pillow will need about 400 grams of holofiber.
For comparison, you can see the photo, from left to right - a new holofiber, restored (after combing) and rolled.



Similarly, I restored my first ruined pillows. My hand did not rise to throw away my mother's gift. Now they are like new, but they are almost 10 years old (though only covers remain from the old pillows).

It says here that it is not advisable to wash pillows from holofiber in a typewriter, even contraindicated

It says that it is better to wash not in a machine, but by hand.

[Galya]

Helen, how can you clean it with ultrasound?

Galya, I was a little mistaken, Larissa corrected me correctly. There are specials. you put the old fluff in the apparatus, clean it and pour it into a new pillow case. She herself was present during this procedure, it turns out that a sea of ​​dirt accumulates in the pillow for many flies. Mom threw hers out, replaced them with holofiber, then they suffered. Well, even though I had a supply of pillows, my grandmother also made them for me, gigantic, cleaned, divided and took them.

Oh, but I cannot sleep on ordinary pillows, for many years I have been sleeping on orthopedic from the "memory" material. With holofiber or down, no comparison. You just need to choose the right pillow height. Mine is thin, but there is any height.

[manna]

Oh, manna, I just have a question for you ... I want to buy my orthopedic pillows, but they so different... that I don’t know how to choose what to be guided by ... And the most important thing is that my son likes to sleep on his stomach ... but how can he get an orthopedic pillow that won't interfere with it? ..? Wouldn't hurt ...

[Song*]

Song* , everything is so individual here ... I bought myself a dear one, I didn't like it at all. IKEEvskaya came up, but my husband, on the contrary, did not like it.

As a rule, there are 2 edges of different heights, lower and higher.

What can you do?

I want to buy my orthopedic pillows, and they so different... that I don't know how to choose, what to be guided by ...

This is very individual ... here you just have to lie down and decide.

And most importantly - the son likes to sleep on his stomach ... but how can he get an orthopedic pillow that won't interfere with it? Wouldn't hurt ...

I also like to sleep on my stomach - I have had a latex pillow for many years and I am very happy with it. But the son cannot sleep on it at all - for him it is low and tough.
To choose a pillow is like a shoe ... without trying it on.

look also at the buckwheat pillow, that is, a pillow made of buckwheat husks, we have such, only the pillowcase is not like that

This is an amazing pillow with unique and beneficial properties.

The buckwheat pillow provides orthopedic support for the neck and head that is different from other fillers. This support is called passive, that is, when you lie down, a roller is automatically formed under the neck, which is very important for relieving stress in the cervical spine and improving blood circulation. Standing up, you will see that the pillow has memorized the outline of the head and neck. It does not seek to regain its original shape, as pillows with many other fillers do, thus it does not create tension in the neck muscles.

The shape of the head and neck is different for each person, so it is impossible to create a universal orthopedic pillow of a given shape, suitable for everyone. It takes the form of exactly the person who lies on it.

Air circulates freely inside the pillow with buckwheat husk. The head never overheats or sweats on the pillow.

But why is the pillow so comfortable?

The fabric from which the cover is sewn is a very important component of the pillow with buckwheat husk. The elasticity, strength of the pillow and, in fact, sleep comfort depend on this.

This pillow case is made of 100% cotton fabric.

The pillow is very beautiful, elastic, easy to use and practically does not rustle.

By the way, about the rustle. Many people assume that a small rustle will affect sleep. No, it’s not. Slight rustling is classified as "white noise". The murmur of a brook, the rustle of reeds - this is also "white noise", soothing, natural and beneficial for the body.

Each pillow has a zipper (Velcro) to adjust the softness. If you lie down, but a roller does not form under the neck or it seems stiff - pour some of the husk, the pillow will become more comfortable and softer.

As practice has shown, a 40/60 pillow is the most comfortable for an adult. You will not roll off such a pillow, and at the same time there is enough space inside it for the husks to move. It is this pillow of this size that is the most preferred.

It is important to note that the buckwheat pillow is made of natural ingredients; it does not accumulate static stress. No chemicals, everything is more natural and environmentally friendly. The husk is triple cleaned from dust and grain residues. Doctors familiar with the buckwheat pillow recommend it to every person, especially those suffering from asthma, allergies and osteochondrosis.Of course, the pillow will not be able to cure the disease, but it has been noted in practice that sleeping on such a pillow reduces headaches, insomnia and improves health.

The correct position of the cervical spine eliminates snoring, improves breathing, blood supply to the brain.

Buckwheat husk pillows are able to take the anatomical shape of the human head. Due to this, the cervical vertebrae are in a natural position in any position of the body, and the neck muscles relax and rest. One of the causes of snoring and migraines disappears. Unlike a pillow with a traditional filling, it evenly supports your head throughout the night, creating a light massaging effect. Buckwheat pillow eliminates allergies, because dust mites, which are abundant in ordinary down and feather pillows, do not start in it.

Incidentally .. yesterday I read (Golden recipes of Ayurveda) that it is harmful to sleep on your stomach. On the back, back and forth, and best of all on the right side. On the left, it promotes digestion, increases interest in food, sleep and sex.

After this pillow, my body personally does not even perceive the sinful porridge. Like buckwheat honey ...

[Song*]

Song*, for those who sleep on their stomach (I think, needless to say, this is not very useful), the pillow should be thin so that the head is not lifted up. Tempur has pillows of different heights. Their prices, of course, are cosmic, but ... They also have a pillow specially for those who sleep on their stomach

I absolutely agree with the girls - it is imperative to lie on a pillow, and not 2 minutes, but at least 10 (better more to feel if it is or not)! And do not be ashamed of it !!!

They lie on all 4 points

How do you know ???

From which only recently have not been made fillers for pillows! Classic feather pillows, on which our great-grandmothers slept, are gradually becoming relics of the past. They are now trying to use hypoallergenic natural materials as filler - bamboo and buckwheat. But what else is remarkable about the buckwheat husk pillow?

As you know, healthy sleep requires choosing the right pillow. Headache and discomfort in the cervical spine occurs due to the fact that it is not very comfortable to lie in a dream. Due to the uncomfortable posture, nerves are clamped and blood circulation is impaired. So it turns out that in the morning it seems as if he had not slept all night, and unloaded the cars with sand.

There is a way out of this situation - to choose an orthopedic pillow that will ideally follow the curves of the neck. Various raw materials are now used as fillers for orthopedic pillows. But, you must agree, we always strive to choose among natural fillers. Therefore, the buckwheat husk pillow has become popular with many people. Let's see what is so remarkable about such a pillow?

Only natural raw materials are used as a filler for the husk pillow - polished buckwheat husk. The idea of ​​creating a pillow with buckwheat husk as a filler belongs to the Japanese. In Japan, a firm pillow is believed to relieve headache and snoring problems. What other advantages does buckwheat have?

The buckwheat pillow is absolutely hypoallergenic, which will delight all people suffering from feather or dust allergies. It should also be noted that dust mites, which provoke asthma attacks, do not start in the solid material of the filler. The buckwheat husk in the middle of the pillow does not become greasy over time, of course, with proper care of the covers and washing them from time to time.

The buckwheat pillow perfectly follows the anatomical shapes of the head and neck, which allows you to sleep all night in a comfortable position. With constant use of the buckwheat husk pillow, blood pressure normalizes, pains in the spine go away.

It is very common for pillow fillers to roll off over time, which affects their firmness and usability. Agree that sleeping on a hard lump is not very pleasant. Due to the flowability of the filler, various lumps will never form in the husk pillows.

Of course, after reading all the above properties, you just want to buy yourself a buckwheat pillow. But everything is not so simple here. As it turns out, not everyone can sleep peacefully on such pillows. To begin with, you should consider that the buckwheat pillow is quite tough. It is ideal for people who like to sleep on a firm mattress. But lovers of luxuriating in a soft, soft feather bed will have to refuse to use such pillows. Having slept on a soft pillow all your life, you cannot immediately switch to using a hard pillow.

It should be noted that buckwheat pillows are quite "noisy". Buckwheat granules are poured noisily with every movement. It will simply be impossible to fall asleep from such noise, because in the silence of the night any sounds will be very annoying.

It is also worth telling a little about the specific smell of such a pillow. Since in stores all pillows are stored packed in covers, after purchase you may find that the pillow may have a certain specific odor that will annoy you. But do not worry: after two weeks the smell will completely disappear and will not interfere with your sleep. There are still models of pillows, in which buckwheat husks are added various other natural herbal fillers: mint, St. John's wort, lemon balm, lavender. Herbs that exude a pleasant aroma are great for fighting insomnia.

We should also talk about caring for a buckwheat husk pillow. Do not try to wash such a pillow yourself. Entrust its cleaning only to dry cleaning workers. There it will not only be cleaned, but also disinfected. Remember to regularly ventilate the pillow and vacuum it through the pillowcase.

Manufacturers promise that a buckwheat husk pillow can last 10-15 years. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Over time, the buckwheat husk wears off and turns into dust, so the shelf life of the pillow should only be reduced to 3 years.
Buckwheat husk pillow

Oh, I didn't know about this ... Thank you, I'll have to look ...

This pillow is convenient because you can put your shoulder on it. Just be sure to try it first !!!

And I have a latex one for 3 years, with a notch under the shoulder. I'm just suffering without her ...I bought a similar one for my son - by the way, they are such that they consist of layers, you can remove the layer - it will be lower.
You have to get used to orthopedic pillows definitely! Moreover, 2 weeks is at least uncomfortable, so you need to be patient.
And sleep on your stomach is not recommended! This pillow has weaned me from this, so it's also educational!

Looks like the wrong programs.

see also a buckwheat pillow, that is, a pillow made of buckwheat husks

For several years I have been using an orthopedic pillow with buckwheat husk, I can't even imagine how I did without this pillow before. Having serious spinal problems, for a very long time I could not find a pillow for myself, until I got this one. True, there are others with husks, I have, but I could not sleep on it. Mine with a roller around the perimeter and the roller is located under the head, maintaining the correct position of the spine. I sleep exclusively on my back, with such a pillow there is no desire for another, the body relaxes. If I have to go to the hospital, then my pillow follows me: flowers:

Girls, how smart you are! Thank you very much. Thanks to you, I have learned so much useful things about pillows ... Now at least I will know what to look for.

And I was all overlaid with orthopedic pillows.
It suddenly occurred to me to sleep on a children's orthopedic pillow. Liked. I bought myself a latex one. The process of falling asleep became better and the humeral blues subsided.
Well? My head is good, but my precious fifth point cannot be ignored. Bought a latex seat cushion. My precious butt was better off. But the life of the part of the body between the head and the fifth point painfully passes. I bought an orthopedic back pillow. Now I can fully relax in any chair. By the way, there is also a total pillow under the neck.
My daughter bought herself an orthopedic pillow for pregnant and nursing women. So while she is not at home, this worm (as we called this pillow, although in the world it is called "bagel") is used by her son or husband. We ordered two more pillows for nursing, we are waiting for the delivery.

Oh, and I longed for my orthopedic pillow even to Crimea, I can't live without it

And I have a latex one for 3 years, with a notch under the shoulder. I just suffer without it ... I bought a similar one for my son - by the way, they are such that they consist of layers, you can remove the layer - it will be lower.

I, too, have made several attempts to adapt to the memory cushions. Once I bought it in our store, some kind of Chinese, but not cheap. I couldn't on her. At first, it smelled of something, even my head ached. Secondly, there was a feeling that the head was playing with this memorial material and he was squeezing it. Very unpleasant. Then you raise your head as you peel it off. With difficulty she returned to the store, citing the stench.
Now I also sleep on Ikeevskaya. I like it, I'm used to it. Only now, I heard somewhere that it is also undesirable to sleep at the orthopedic clinic all the time. You know, the analogy with an orthopedic collar - if you wear it all the time, your muscles will atrophy.

Muscles atrophy with a collar, because with a collar during the day, and at night, muscles relax in sleep anyway. This does not happen with a pillow (unless, of course, you do not wear a collar in the daytime) So you can sleep fearlessly on orthopedic pillows - your muscles should rest at night!

Girls, what reviews about bamboo pillows?

Girls, what reviews about bamboo pillows?

I don't know about bamboo pillows, but I have a "eucalyptus" blanket. I see no difference with the old Turkish siliconized one. Maybe this is me so "lucky"?

Bamboo - not bad - can be machine washed.

It seems that they misunderstood me - I have no memory effect! I tried these in the store, somehow they did not sink into my soul, I did not see the orthopedic effect in such. And if it stinks, it's definitely of poor quality!
Of course, our pricing is wonderful, but a high-quality pillow can hardly cost less than $ 40-60. Mine so generally cost about $ 90 (Portuguese production), it came in 2 pillowcases (the first non-removable, the second velor with a zipper).
An orthopedic pillow should be chosen almost like a mattress - so that lying on its side (the head is on the pillow with the ear) and the spine is straight, and the head is in line with it, as a continuation ... Of course, the mattress should also be orthopedic ...
By the way, the right pillow is to prevent the growth of the "widow's tubercle", which in many women grows at the withers with age.

I made such a rest pillow, you can twist it with a pretzel. The pillow was very comfortable. There is where to throw arms and legs and attach the head.
And I also made a roller to put it under a sore knee or somewhere else.
