There are many types of pillows, and each type has different things to offer.  Consider any medical issues you have. If you have asthma, allergies, or chronic neck pain, you may need a particular filling or a dust mite-proof cover for the pillow.  Consider the cost. Some pillow fillings tend to be more expensive than others. These pillows are typically made from the inner plumage of geese or ducks and can be filled according to your preference.  More firmness, or loft, suits side sleepers while less loft is better for back or stomach sleepers. They can last up to 10 years and are resilient and breathable because they are made of a natural material. Be aware that there is a difference between a down pillow and a feather pillow. Down is very light and soft, and is usually located underneath the harder, stronger feathers, which protect the bird from the elements. A feather pillow will likely be harder, and there is a chance that some of the feather quills could poke through the fabric, particularly in cheaper feather pillows. Although there is no scientific evidence that down or feather pillows exacerbate allergies or asthma, some people prefer to avoid them. You might wish to avoid down/feather pillows for ethical reasons, or due to asthma or allergies. In this case, there are synthetic versions available. A wool or cotton pillow might be particularly suitable for you if you suffer from severe allergies, as these pillows are not susceptible to dust mites or mold.  Be aware that these pillows tend to be quite firm, so they may not be the most suitable for stomach sleepers. If you are a stomach sleeper, but you also want a pillow that is hypoallergenic, you may be able to find a very thin wool or cotton pillow. These pillows are made from the sap of rubber trees, making it elastic and resilient.  These pillows are good for allergy sufferers, as they are mold resistant. They tend to be cooler than memory foam and can form to fit your head and neck. Latex pillows come in all shapes and sizes. Consistencies vary as well, some use shredded material while others are made of solid cores. They do not offer as much ‘give’ as a memory foam pillow and can be quite heavy, and expensive. These pillows are made of polyurethane, which is then mixed with additional chemicals.  Memory foam pillows come in all shapes and sizes including an S-shaped version. They provide good support, especially if you have neck, jaw, or shoulder problems. They are long lasting and are good at forming to the contours of your head and neck. High density is best in order to avoid the material breaking down. Be aware that this material can make you hot, as it doesn't "breathe." If you tend to move around a lot, these pillows may be uncomfortable since they take a bit of time to mold into different shapes.  A new memory foam pillow may have an unpleasant odor which will go away after a short while. Certain sleeping habits and health conditions may mean that a "normal" pillow may not be your best choice. However, be aware that while a specialty pillow might be helpful for you, there is not much research to back up claims the manufacturer might make, and they can be quite expensive.  A positional pillow is a lower case n-shaped pillow that claims to help those with sleep apnea stay in the ideal position. The pillow also claims to help reduce tossing and turning throughout the night.  Cervical pillows provide extra firmness in the lower part of the pillow in order to provide support for the neck. The claim is that these pillows will help reduce neck tension and headaches, however, there has not been sufficient research to back up this claim. Anti-snore pillows claim to help position the head so that the airways remain open by lifting the chin away from the chest. Cool pillows are designed to include fillings that absorb head heat in order to keep you feeling cool. Although they can be used by anyone who wishes to keep cool at night, they may be particularly suitable for someone suffering from hot flashes. Oxygen pillows are designed to promote the circulation of air, which is meant to help you breathe more freely and deeply while you sleep. While some claim this has helped relieve pain, doctors are not sure how or whether or not this technology actually works.
