Driftaway: How often should you change your pillows?

We spend countless hours of our lives asleep and asleep. The right pillow and bed can make a huge difference to your overall health. When it comes to changing our bedding and pillows…here’s what you need to know…

Better sleep makes you healthier

Have you ever tried to work, exercise or even go about your daily chores without getting a good sleep? It often becomes a useless exercise! Why? Because sleep is an essential part of how we feel, work, and achieve our daily goals.

Experts agree that getting a good night’s sleep plays a huge role in our physical and mental health. One way to prepare for better sleep is to improve your bedroom environment and bedding. This includes maintaining your pillows and replacing them when needed. Your pillows should always provide you with the right amount of support and if they are not available, it may affect you negatively.

Since we spend many hours in bed with our heads resting on our pillows, it is also necessary to pay attention to the quality and cleanliness of the pillows. Not switching pillows regularly can lead to allergic reactions, breakouts, and even neck pain.

By replacing your pillows regularly every two years, you’ll continue to enjoy a good night’s sleep, and avoid waking up with aches and pains.

Generally, you will be able to tell when it is time to replace the cushions. If you’re waking up with a sore neck or if you’re just unable to find a comfortable sleeping position, it may mean it’s time to replace those pillows! Just like with a mattress, the pillows need to be replaced when they start to sag or form lumps. It may also be time to consider new pillows when you notice excessive yellowing, or if your allergies are running amok at night.

The beds and pillows are of the highest quality to ensure comfort and durability. Visit www.drftawaybeds.co.za to find out more.
