PILLOW TALK! DETAILS ABOUT TYPES OF PILLOWS AND
THEIR SIZES.

• Choose The Right Pillows!

pillow! Not all pillows get to sit around looking
pretty. That is what decorative cushions are
for! Others have a job to do. Choosing the right
pillow is crucial to your health and comfort.
It is not easy to select the right one, but it is
not rocket science either! Here we go, helping
you decode this process! Fill Types for Pillows
Natural Fill Typically this would be wool,
natural rubber, feather, or a down (the soft and
fluffy insulation found under the feathers)
filling.

This type of pillow conforms to your head and
neck. More the stuffing (fill-power) more the
durability. Fill power is usually mentioned if
purchased from a branded store. Our personal
favourite is the down! Synthetic Fill A
man-made polyester fill, that is also the most
affordable and hypo allergic. However, these
pillows offer little support to the head or neck.
Would not recommend this one!
4
Poly Cluster Fill A synthetic, polyester fill
that is coated in silicone to give the feel of a
down pillow. These pillows are more affordable
than down pillows and also come sans the allergy
factor that most down pillows have. Not a
favourite but not too bad either! Foam
Pillow These pillows are filled with large bits
of foam. They are best used for decorative
purposes.
5
Memory Foam These are firm pillows made from
dense sponge. They provide the best support for
the neck and spine. Ideal for people with neck
issues. Cotton Fill Made from natural cotton
fibres, these pillows are hypo allergic. Also
harder than other materials, especially when well
stuffed. These are most popular in Indian homes.
6
Soya Fill Made from natural soya fibre, these
pillows are resistant to dust mites and hypo
allergies. The healthiest pillows! I must
confess, I have yet to try one! Now that we
have decoded pillow fills, lets look at the
various sizes they come it. My bed has a
variety of some six shapes and sizes!!

Pillow Sizes
8
Standard Pillow This basic sleeping pillow is
20x26. Ideal for all sleep positions.
Depending on the filling though. Queen
Pillow This 20x30 pillow fits tightly in a
standard pillowcase. Made especially for queen
beds. King Pillow At 20x36 these extra long
pillows are ideal for king sized beds. They
provide great neck and spine support.
9
European Pillow  This decorative square pillow
is 26x 26. They fit in pillow shams and are
usually, but not necessarily, placed against the
headboard. Cushions Purely decorative, cushions
come in interesting shapes and sizes these
days. Bolsters Log-like pillows, decorative and
also good to hug or elevate the legs on, these
pillows also come in all sizes these days. A
must for working women who are on their toes all
day!
10
Body Pillow This long body-length pillow is
20x54 contours to your body, providing support
and comfort especially to expectant moms and
side-sleepers. I can vouch for the feel-good
property of this one!
