So while our experts will almost always recommend a soft and fairly slim pillow for front sleepers, those who sleep on their side or their back can have a preference for several different levels of support and thickness. If you like a very firm pillow, memory foam and latex pillows will generally be the best option; with hollowfibre usually offering a medium level of support and natural fillings such as down offering the most gentle support.

However, all of our pillows have a firmness rating to help you make the right choice every time. Shop all pillows. The posture you adopt in bed is possibly the biggest factor affecting your choice of pillow. Your neck is always going to be happier when it is kept fairly straight.

So if you sleep on your side, the distance from your head to the mattress is going to be far greater than if you sleep on your back or your front. Naturally, that distance depends on the width of your shoulders, but most side sleepers should start by considering using two pillows: a deeper, firmer one next to the bed, and a softer, slimmer one next to your head.

However good your posture may be when you are standing up, your head still needs to be slightly raised and properly supported when you lie on your back in bed. For this reason we recommend a medium to firm pillow for back sleepers , with a medium to deep profile. If you prefer to sleep on your front, your head should ideally be almost level with the mattress — but not quite. Latex fillings are another excellent option, as while they enable greater air-flow, they do not collect house dust mites.

Consider a anti dustmite protector for your pillow or mattress. While some experts say that 12 months is safe, we generally recommend waiting until your child is ready to move from a cot to their first bed. Having said that, if you note that a child over 12 months seems uncomfortable in their cot — and particularly if they have started to make their own pillow out of blankets or soft toys — it may be time to introduce a pillow.

Which pillow is best for a child? Generally speaking, a fairly slim profile with medium support is best, particularly for little ones. It is also a good idea to choose an anti-allergy filling, even if your child has shown no sign of suffering from allergies. We also recommend washing pillows one at a time to get the best results — and also using a pillow protector to reduce the frequency of full washes for your pillows.

Thanks to recent technological developments, synthetic duvets are no longer the clammy blocks of plastic that they used to be. Hollowfibre is used in our duvets and some of our toppers, cushions and seat pads. Hollowfibre gets its name from the fine, hollow strand of polyester that it is made from. The hollow centre traps air and helps to provide a lofty duvet filling. Hollowfibre bedding is very light, so you can get incredibly warm, high-tog bedding without having a thick duvet on your bed.

Due to the simple synthetic makeup of Hollowfibre, the lifespan of this bedding is relatively small. You can expect a hollowfibre duvet to last a few years, so they are a popular option for people who like to replace their duvet frequently. Originally developed as a hypoallergenic, affordable alternative to luxurious down duvets, for use in the finest hotels, it is manufactured using a very fine denier of polyester fibre and a specific length engineered to create the precise dimensions of real down.

Many people find them a great alternative to duvets with natural fillings such as feather or down — they are cheaper, easier to care for and often have better hypo-allergenic properties. Go straight to our section for synthetic duvet reviews. If you decide a synthetic duvet is for you, a useful thing to understand is the difference between Hollowfibre and Microfibre duvets. Microfibre duvets are better than hollowfibre duvets — they are less sweaty and they drape better over the bed.

Technically, the key difference is that micro fibres are much finer than hollow fibres giving a lighter, more luxurious feel.
