Ergonomic pillows: how to choose without the hype
“Ergonomic” matters only when the pillow's height, shape and feel suit the sleeper. Start with fit, then compare material and features.
Loft
Height affects the angle of the head relative to the torso.
Shape
Flat, contoured and cervical designs distribute support differently.
Firmness
Compression changes effective loft under load.
Adjustability
Adjustable fill offers more tuning than one-piece molded foam.
