Are you frustrated with your current pillow and waking up sore and not feeling fully rested? Have you flipped your pillow and realized that even the "cool side" of it is no longer comfortable? It may be time to find a new pillow.  Finding a pillow is a difficult decision and can vary significantly for individual preferences.  Here are some options and tips that can be helpful to point you in the right direction.

The first and easiest way towards achieving a better night's sleep is to check your current pillow. It’s not our goal to say one pillow is better than another. I personally use a memory foam pillow, while others swear that an ergonomic neck pillow works best for them. The most important thing is to try different pillows and find the one that is most comfortable for you. While trying to figure out which pillow is the right fit for you or if it's time to buy new, there are some things to be aware of:

• If you need to place your arm under your pillow, your body is subconsciously telling you that you need more support and likely a new pillow.

• If you use memory foam pillows and the foam begins to clump, this is an early sign that you need a new pillow.

• If you use a feather pillow and you have to repeatedly “re-fluff” it to get neck support, it is time to replace the pillow.

• If you use a soft pillow and it becomes flat, lumpy, or will not fluff, it's time to find a new one!
