Various filling materials are used, and the type of filling is a large part of the pillow classification. For example, you’ve heard of pillows for pillows, which means the pillow is filled with primer or feathers, and hearing the term “memory foam” usually causes a good memory foam to give a sinking feeling. Here is a quick explanation of the main types of pillow fillings you find and how they differ.
Lower pillow: As I mentioned above, the lower pillow is filled with lower tufts (primer on ducks) or feathers, or a mixture of both. It’s been on the fill for a long time, and in a sense it’s soft and soft and perfect for shapes in any way you like. (But it doesn’t retain its shape well, either.) Since these shapes are filled with clusters or feathers on the lower part, you need to check if there is a certification like Responsible Standard (RDS) to confirm that the downwards are ethically sourcing.
Descent alternative pillow: These pillows are not fixed types, but use other materials to replicate the experience of the downward pillow. For example, Buffy uses recycled plastic to create pillow fillers, while Saatva uses a combination of memory foam and latex foam. You have to look at what constitutes any alternative pillow because it is inconsistent. But the feeling of consistency is a different feeling. In my tests, I found that alternative pillows are generally more supportive and hold their shape better than the classic lower pillows.
Memory foam pillow: Memory foam is popular because it can “remember” its original shape and once your head is not on the pillow, it can be restored to its previous form. The memory foam does have a sinking feel that you may or may not like it. You also need to check if the memory foam is solid or chopped; I found that the chopped memory foam has more bounce and support and less sinking than the memory foam table.
Latex Foam Pillow: The latex foam is made of rubber, which has a stretchy, supportive feel than other foam options. Latex foam is a popular choice due to its good support, and it is often found with its filler debris that provide a lot of airflow.
Mixed pillows: Mixed pillows are another category that is becoming increasingly popular. It can be a mixture of any of the above fillers, but I often find it a piece of foam that combines with chopped foam or some other soft filler. For example, Casper uses two memory foams and then has a chopped foam core in the center of its mixed pillow, giving it a marshmallow-like feel.
Cotton, Carbok and Wool: These pillow fillers are treated with natural fibers that are less processed than foam and can be fused with other materials above. Carbok and cotton should be on fluffy ends, while wool is perfect for temperature regulation. However, none of them are as popular as foam or drop options, although you might think of these ingredients as organic or mixed in pillows.
