The Ultimate Pillow Hacks to Achieve your Best Night’s Sleep

There are so many fancy gadgets on the market that promise you the dreamiest night’s sleep, however, what if we told you that the key to remaining well-rested may lie in something as simple as your pillow?

James Higgins, founder of Ethical Bedding shares the ultimate pillow hacks you can use to unlock a oneway ticket to sleep heaven…

Only sleep on one pillow

A mountain of pillows may sound luxurious, however, sleeping in this position can prove to be detrimental to your neck and shoulder muscles over time, resulting in long-term negative effects on your overall posture and spinal alignment. Instead, experts recommend using just one comfortable pillow for better sleep and therefore better overall health.

If possible, invest in a memory foam pillow. Designed to mould to your movements and cradle your head and upper body to distribute your weight evenly on the pillow, the orthopaedic properties of memory foam pillows provide high levels of pressure relief and support to your neck and spine.

Try a cooling mist

If you’re finding it hard to drift off, one of the most frustrating things is an overly hot pillow. No matter how many times you flip and turn it, it seems the cooler side just evades you. If this is something you experience regularly, why not try a cooling mist?

Designed to not only provide a soothing, cooling effect on the skin, many pillow mists are also scented with ingredients such as lavender which help to promote a relaxing, calming atmosphere and act as a much-needed aid to help you drift off to sleep.

Switch to silk pillowcases

Silk pillowcases are not just a fancy alternative to traditional cotton ones – they actually come with a myriad of benefits for both your hair and skin. Research proves that the creasing and indents caused by conventional cotton pillowcases can turn into permanent wrinkles over time, however, sleeping on silk and other similar materials with naturally hypoallergenic properties can help to prevent these deep lines from forming and importantly, remaining.

As it takes in less moisture than cotton, silk is less likely to harbour bacteria, allergens and dust mites, as well as naturally being able to regulate temperature, meaning you don’t have to keep flipping your pillow over to the cold side.

If you’re looking for an indulgent silk pillowcase that has been sustainably sourced, check the luxury bedding and sleep accessories company ‘Ethical Bedding’ for its dreamy range.
