This article will talk about how to choose a pillow for various usage. To make it simple, we will assume that you will choose a general purpose pillow. With that said, we’ll be talking about things like maintenance, fabrics, size and usage.

First, we’ll be talking about pillow size. One of the most important thing about buying a pillow. This is also highly related with the fabric so this paragraph will cover two things at once. Its important that you choose a pillow that is 1 inch bigger or smaller than your cover. This is because if the size is incorrect the fabric will be overstretched or wrinkle when there’s its not big enough. This also depends on how you want the pillow to look like. A slik cover with a pillow too small will give it a wrinkly look. A hard fabric like twill will look really chic if your pillow is larger than the cover.

Next we’ll be talking about the usage. In general, the utility of the pillow will depend very much on the look you want to achieve and how you want to sleep or rest on it. The shape and the firmness of the pillow usually gives the pillow its purpose and utility. For example, a bolster or neck rolls will very much like to be used as a comfort pillow for sleeping and driving. A pillow the shape of sofa (yes it does exist) will help people to read on the bed. Its called the bed rest pillow. There’s also the bed lounge pillow but thats for another article.

Finally, the maintenance and care of a pillow. Most of the pillow nowadays can be machine washed without a problem. Unless your pillow is bigger than 26 inch, then you have a problem. Pillow this big of a size can’t be washed a dried correctly. You might be wonder, how about those bed wedge pillow? Can we wash them correctly? Well, for the most part you’ll only be washing the covers but you can still machine wash a bed wedge pillow without a problem.

I hope you find this article useful and bought the right pillow as a result. Happy shopping.
