The Best Pillows in Singapore for All Kinds of Sleepers

Looking to switch out your old pillows? If they’ve gotten deflated and uncomfortable, a new pillow might quite literally solve all your problems in life. The best pillows in Singapore support your head and neck, reposition your spine, and help you sleep better.

Sleep affects all sorts of things in your waking life: good sleep means low stress levels, less inflammation, fewer headaches, and even better gut health. Choosing a suitable pillow means investing in your health for years, as any good pillow should last that long.

Choosing The Best Pillow: Consider Your Sleeping Position

First, you’ll need to identify your sleeping position. This is usually the position you wake up in: on your side means you’re a side sleeper, and on your back means you’re a back sleeper. There are more uncommon sleeping positions, like stomach sleeping, which are covered with more specialised pillows.

If you tend to toss and turn in your sleep, you may consider yourself a hybrid sleeper, or you may wish to purchase a cervical pillow. These are pillows that gently curve inwards, usually in a “doughnut” shape, that guide your head into the centre while supporting your neck. Cervical pillows may range from sloped shapes to car-seat-headrest shapes: they tend to be highly specialised and ergonomically designed, so you can easily pick one that suits your needs.

Back sleepers tend to prefer curved pillows with a lower neck height, just enough to stabilise the back of the head and ease tension. Side sleepers usually prefer higher-curved and firmer pillows: look into memory foam for the support you need. Stomach sleepers may wish to consider softer pillows and hypoallergenic materials that are gentle on the face.

All this advice goes out the window if you are pregnant. Expecting mums are encouraged to sleep on their sides, on a speciality pregnancy pillow: these are U-shaped pillows that provide comprehensive support and comfort to all parts of the body. As your baby bump grows, these pillows can be rearranged to relieve different pressure points.

Choosing The Best Pillow: Pick Weather-Appropriate, Breathable Materials 

When choosing a pillow, look out for breathable and skin-friendly materials, since they’ll be coming into contact with your face every night. Singapore-based readers should especially consider this: humid weather means extra care needs to be taken in keeping your pillows clean, dry and free of irritants.

Your pillows will need to be washed frequently: pillowcases need to be cleaned at least once a week, and pillow inserts every three to six months (more frequently if you have sensitive skin). If you need to wash your pillows often, stick with cotton, feather or down pillows that can be machine-washed, rather than latex or memory foam which can only be spot-cleaned. Fortunately, many pillows in Singapore, including the foam and latex ones, come with detachable, machine-washable covers that make things more convenient.

Temperature regulation is common among Singapore’s best pillows because of the warm weather: cooling gel surfaces, honeycomb-like celled pillow structures, and more to direct heat away from your body while you sleep. Cotton is especially good for breathability, but look into Tencel or bamboo: bamboo, in particular, is resistant to mildew and dust mites.

Of course, you need to consider any sensitivities you may have to materials in the pillow insert: pillow covers will not shield you from allergens inside. If you have latex sensitivities, steer clear of memory foam!

Pillows in Singapore For A Good Night’s Rest

We’re here to help you choose the best pillow in Singapore for all your needs, whether it’s neck pain relief, posture support, or simply wanting to rest well. There’s even a speciality pillow for those who wear earplugs to sleep!

Made in Denmark with uncompromising standards, the pillow is certified by the Space Foundation as “Certified Space Technology,” a distinction that highlights its heritage of innovation.
