Don’t sleep on this: we’ve found the best pillows, Australia
A bad pillow makes for a bad sleep. And we all know what the most common pillow culprits are: the lumpy sack of potatoes, the solid block of cement and those sad, crepe-like floporamas that defeat the purpose of having a pillow at all. Here at Koala, we’re taking a stand against bad pillows. We’re here to say that no one has to suffer any longer when the best pillows Australia has to offer are just around the bend. “But, Koala,” we hear you ask, “how do you know what the best pillow in Australia is?” Easy. It’s whatever best suits you. In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about choosing the best pillow for you and how to know when you’ve found the right one. And with hands on our hearts, we hereby swear that the age of the pillow as a sack of potatoes is officially busted.Finding the best pillow: the essentials
Who knew there was so much to think about when choosing the best pillow? We’re probably gonna need to lie down after this. To get the perfect pillow pairing, we need to consider what size, support and quality mean to you. 💤 Support. Do you like a lot of support for your neck and head? Something thinner and more discrete? Perhaps you prefer a softer touch? Pillows are usually categorised by how they feel and the support they offer. Common terms include firm, extra firm, medium firm and soft. So just like tofu then, only better. 💤 Quality. Trust us. This is one area of your life you don’t wanna sleep on. A pillow is an investment in your comfort and health, and those are pretty big deals if you ask us. Look for quality, environmentally friendly materials and a solid rep from the people making your pillow (hmm, our furry ears are burning). 💤 Size. Did you know pillows came in all shapes and sizes? Well, you do now. Although most of us are happy with the standard pillow size, others might need more. And we think it’s A-okay to get greedy when it comes to your sleep. We won’t even judge if you keep using that comfy pregnancy pillow when your kids are getting their Ls and first piercings.What is the best pillow material?
You’ve probably come across a lot of funny terminology in your search for the best pillow in Australia. And usually, it’s to do with the stuff inside them. Pillow fillings have a major impact on how they feel and act, so taking the time to learn what makes for good pillow stuffing will pay off big time. 💤 Feather and down. Traditionally the hoity-toity preference of the pillow world, feather and down are delectably soft. But because these products contain duck and goose feathers, not only will they cost you an arm and a leg, but they are also sources of potential allergens. Bless you! 💤 Latex. Latex is no stranger in the bedroom (cue the awkward wink). This renewable and biodegradable material makes it an eco-friendly option, with durability to boot. On the downside, latex pillows can cost a fair chunk and are harder to keep clean. 💤 Foam. There are loads of foam fillings to choose from in a pillow, like memory foam and gel foam. Each has its pros and cons that are worth considering. Foam usually offers generous support and comfort. But choose the wrong one and it can let off gasses and emit a fair bit of heat. (Sound like anyone you know?) 💤 Polyester. Affordable, comfortable and ideal for a less-bulky sleep, polyester might seem an obvious choice. But be warned. These pillows can get a little lumpy.
