Is Now The Time To Replace Your Pillows?

Pillows. They’re so important to a good night’s sleep. If you find that you’re frequently scrunching, plumping and shaping yours for just the right setup, then I have an announcement. It’s time to stop by Scheuer Linens for some fresh pillows.

Here’s A Simple Test For Pillow Worthiness

Over time, it’s easy to forget how a good quality pillow (like those at Scheuer Linens) should perform. So do this test. Fold over the pillows you sleep on now. If they 1) actually fold and 2) fail to bounce back, you need to add bed pillows to your shopping list.

Of course, you can go on using the same old ones. In fact, some people think they’ve gotten their pillows right where they want them when several mushed together seem to become the single pillow of their dreams.

But worn pillows flatten when they can no longer trap air and maintain their resiliency. That can lead to uncomfortable nights. And that can mean unpleasant days with neck or back pain. Who needs that!?

What To Look For In A New Pillow

For great slumber, you need a high quality pillow with resilient fill and good density. Fold them in the store. They should bounce back and recover their size and shape.

Fill is key. Down pillows have great quality, a lovely feel and a long life expectancy. With all those benefits, down is a smart purchase. (Be sure to include pillow protectors to help yours stay fresh and last longer.) Or, if you prefer a hypoallergenic choice, take a look at our MicroMax selection. MicroMax has a smoother fiber texture for great lofting and less clumping. Lastly, be sure to fluff your pillows every time the bed is made.

We’d love to show you what a great pillow looks and feels like. Stop by Scheuer Linens today!
