The best pillows your head deserves

The days of buying a pillow off the shelf are long gone.

Nowadays, hundreds of pillows on the market are designed with technologies we once wouldn’t even imagine, taking in factors like whether you sleep on your back, side or front, or whether you freestyle throughout the night.

You may even need pressure relief if you suffer from neck and shoulder pain, for which there are also pillows explicitly designed.

Australia faces some of the most relentless summers, which means our pillows need to be breathable too. Otherwise, night sweats will only disturb our rest.

Most people know that it’s essential, but just how vital sleep is one of the most understated phenomena society faces.

In his TED Talk, sleep expert and neurologist Matthew Walker explains the importance sleep plays in our lives.

He argues that every disease that we face in developed nations has “casual and significant links to a lack of sleep”, expanding into immunity issues, cardiovascular issues and countless other worrying diseases.

It also affects our daily lives too, especially our concentration and memory.

It shouldn’t take much to convince yourself that sleeping is undoubtedly one of the most important areas to invest in, especially as we spend a third of our lives there.

So if you’re looking to invest in the right pillow for how you sleep, check out below our top picks of pillows you can order online.
