Best pillows for side sleeping – what is side sleeping?
Side sleeping is a common sleeping position. It is when you sleep on your side with your body straight or slightly angled. Side sleeping can help decrease snoring and lessen GERD symptoms. Sleeping on your left side may also decrease the risk of developing wrinkles.
There are many benefits to side sleeping, including:
1. Decreased snoring – When you sleep on your back, your tongue and soft palate can fall back and block your airway. This can cause snoring. Sleeping on your side keeps your airway open and can help reduce or eliminate snoring.
2. Lessened GERD symptoms – Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition where acid from the stomach rises up into the esophagus. This can cause heartburn, chest pain, and other symptoms. Sleeping on your left side can decrease the likelihood of acid reflux.
3. Reduced risk of wrinkles – When you sleep on your face, gravity pulls down on the skin, which can lead to wrinkles over time. Sleeping on your side puts less pressure on your face, so you’re less likely to develop wrinkles.
4. Improved circulation – When you sleep on your side, gravity helps keep blood flowing to all parts of your body. This can help improve circulation and prevent blood clots.
5. Decreased back pain – Sleeping on your side can take pressure off of your spine and joints, which may help decrease back pain.
6. Better digestion – Sleeping on your side can help keep food and acid moving through your digestive system. This can help prevent constipation and other digestive issues.
7. Healthier skin – When you sleep on your side, you’re less likely to crush or damage your skin. This can help keep your skin healthier and improve its appearance.
8. Fewer headaches – Sleeping on your side can help reduce the pressure on blood vessels in your head, which may help decrease the frequency and severity of headaches.
9. Improved pregnancy outcomes – Sleeping on your left side during pregnancy can decrease the risk of stillbirth and other complications. It may also improve circulation to the placenta and reduce swelling in the legs.
10. Better sleep – Side sleeping can help you fall asleep and stay asleep more easily than other positions. It can also improve the quality of your sleep.
If you’re not used to sleeping on your side, it may take a few nights to get used to it. You can try using a body pillow or placing a pillow between your knees to help you stay in this position. Once you get used to it, side sleeping can be a comfortable and healthful way to sleep.
How do you wash pillows?
Pillows can be washed in a variety of ways, depending on the type of pillow and the materials it is made from. For most pillows, you can use your washing machine and regular laundry detergent. However, some pillows may require special care, such as spot cleaning or dry cleaning. Be sure to check the care label on your pillow before washing it to ensure that you are using the correct method.
To wash a pillow in your washing machine, start by removing the pillowcase and any other coverings. Then, place the pillow in the machine along with a couple of old towels. This will help protect the pillow during the washing cycle. Add your regular laundry detergent to the machine and set it to a gentle cycle. Once the cycle is finished, remove the pillow from the machine and allow it to air dry. If your pillow is still damp after air drying, you can place it in the dryer on a low heat setting.
Spot cleaning is a good option for pillows that are only lightly soiled. To spot clean a pillow, start by mixing a small amount of mild detergent with water. Use a clean cloth to apply the solution to the stained area and scrub gently. Rinse the area with clean water and allow the pillow to air dry.
If your pillow care label indicates that it should be dry cleaned, take it to a professional cleaners. Do not attempt to dry clean a pillow at home, as this could damage the pillow.
How often should you replace pillows?
Pillows should be replaced every 1-2 years to ensure optimal comfort and support. Pillows may need to be replaced more frequently if they are used more often or if they show signs of wear and tear. If your pillow is starting to look flattened or lumpy, it’s time for a new one. You may also want to consider replacing your pillow if you find yourself waking up with neck pain or headaches. A good pillow will help you sleep comfortably and wake up feeling refreshed and pain-free.
Why do pillows turn yellow?
Over time, pillows can become stained and yellowed from body oils, sweat, makeup, and other debris. While washing your pillowcase regularly can help keep your pillow clean, it’s inevitable that some staining will occur.
To help prevent staining, it’s a good idea to use a pillow protector. A pillow protector is a removable cover that fits over your pillow and helps to protect it from dirt, oil, and other potential stains.
If your pillow is already yellowed or stained, there are a few things you can do to try to remove the stains. First, you can try spot-cleaning the affected areas with a mild detergent. If this doesn’t work, you can try soaking the entire pillow in a solution of 1 part bleach to 10 parts water.
Soak the pillow for 30 minutes, then rinse it thoroughly with clean water. Allow the pillow to air dry completely before using it again.
If your pillow is still stained after trying these methods, you may need to replace it. Pillows should be replaced every 1-2 years to ensure optimal comfort and support.
