Experts recommend replacing your pillows every two years or sooner, when there are signs that indicate it’s time for a replacement. Obvious signs include stains, smells, sagging, and loss of support, which can affect the comfort and functionality of the pillow. Moreover, hair and body oils seep into the pillows and covers every time you use them. This makes it a breeding ground for odour-causing bacteria and dust mites. Hence, it is good to replace your pillows every 2 years.

Latex pillows are generally more durable than other types of pillows. With proper care, they can last between 3 to 4 years before needing replacement. However, it’s important to consider individual factors such as usage frequency, cleanliness and maintenance when determining the lifespan of a latex pillow.

Besides having the right mattress to provide adequate cushioning and support to ensure even spinal alignment, a good pillow is just as important. Without the right pillow, you can suffer from neck and back pain.

All of us have different sleeping positions and preferences, hence there is no one-size-fits all perfect pillow. Select from our pillow menu (Design, Arc, Contour and Classic) in different firmness, sizes and height to find the ideal pillow for you.

Side sleepers generally need thicker pillows to fill the space beneath their head and neck. Hence, you can consider Design, Arc or Contour pillows.

Back sleepers are recommended to get a softer or thinner pillow so that there is less stress on their necks. Consider Sofzsleep Design or Classic pillows.

Finally, for Stomach or Front sleepers (those who sleep on their bellies), they should choose a flat pillow. The Sofzsleep Classic pillow is the perfect choice in this case.

It really depends on the size of the child. A small and thin pillow that supports the neck is ideal for children. On the other hand, if your child is already 7 years old and has broad shoulders, you can consider a thin adult pillow which allows more room for his/ her head to turn. The Sofzsleep Junior M pillow is recommended for children aged 4 years and above. The Sofzsleep Classic pillow which has a thin profile can also be considered for older and bigger children.

Neck pain can be caused by various factors, including the use of an improper pillow or mattress. Other causes of neck pain include sleeping in an uncomfortable position, sudden movements, poor posture, and underlying medical conditions such as fibromyalgia, spinal stenosis, and cervical arthritis.

To alleviate neck pain, it is important to address the underlying causes and make appropriate changes, such as using a supportive pillow and mattress, practicing good sleep posture, and seeking medical advice if the pain persists or worsens.

Maintaining your latex pillow is simple:

• Spot clean any stains using a lukewarm solution of mild soap or detergent and water.
• Place fresh towels on both sides of the pillow and gently press to remove excess moisture.
• Air dry the pillow flat at room temperature, away from direct sunlight.
• Occasionally, you can use a vacuum cleaner to remove any dust or debris.
• Once completely dry, cover your latex pillow with a clean pillowcase.

Remember to review and adhere to any specific care instructions provided with your latex pillow cover. By following these easy steps, you can ensure the longevity and cleanliness of your latex pillow.

We do not advise exposing your latex pillow to direct sunlight, heat or harsh conditions.

To prolong the pillow’s life, you can consider getting a pillow protector or extra pillow cover. Low suction vacuuming the surface of the pillow will help to clean and maintain the shape of the pillow.

Generally, pillows should be changed every two to three years for hygiene reasons.
