A Good Bed For Your Head To Cure Insomnia

Many people neglect the importance of comfort. Your mattress and pillow are the building blocks of your sleep environment. Making sure they are right for you and still supportive is the first and most important step towards a better sleep experience. A pillow is a bed for your head and many people sleep with a dead pillow.  No wonder they can't sleep!

How do you know if you are sleeping on a “dead” pillow? Here are a few simple steps:
  1. Begin by laying your pillow across your arm and look at how it’s folded.
  2. Does it have a slight fold, but still sticks out at the ends? If so, then the structural integrity of your pillow is fine.
  3. Or does your pillow fold—or flop—over your arm like an old saddle bag? Then you have a dead pillow and it needs to be replaced.
Still not convinced? Try this:
  1. Lay your pillow on top of your bed and fold it in half.
  2. Now place a shoe on top and let go.
  3. If the shoe goes flying, then your pillow is fine; if it is stays put then you need a new pillow.
You can have the most comfortable bed but if you have an uncomfortable pillow you might lie awake at night unable to sleep.  Determine that you will find the right bed for your head to help cure insomnia.
