Hotels use these pillows most frequently.
Which Pillows Are Used in Hotels
Staying at a hotel is often associated with an exceptionally good night's sleep. Many guests use the comfortable sleep they experience in hotels as a benchmark for their own bedroom setup. The feeling of a restful hotel sleep prompts many to use these products at home. Besides the hotel mattress and topper, the right pillow is crucial for this sleep experience.
This article explores which pillows are used in hotels and what points you should consider to find the perfect pillow for your bedroom.

Your Sleeping Position Determines the Pillow
Your sleeping position is crucial when selecting the right pillow. Side, back, and stomach sleepers have different requirements for the perfect pillow. The spine must be supported differently in each sleeping position to ensure the neck and entire body rest and relax in a balanced sleeping position.

The Right Pillow for Side Sleepers
A large portion of people are side sleepers. This position demands a lot from the pillow. The side sleeper creates a large gap between the head and the mattress. The entire shoulder area must be bridged and stabilized by a high pillow to keep the spine in a horizontal position. Otherwise, the head risks bending improperly without proper support. We recommend side sleepers use a pillow with a height of around 15 centimeters. Neck support pillows are available in various sizes and are ideal due to their supportive properties. Specialized neck support pillows like the Vario Pillow are also perfect choices.

Flat Pillows for Back Sleepers
Back sleepers generally lie in a more favorable position as the spine is lower overall, so the optimal pillow needs to provide less adjustment. It is essential that the shoulders do not rest on the pillow. Otherwise, the effect of balancing the spine is negated. Therefore, smaller pillows, such as sizes 40 x 80 cm or 60 x 80 cm, are recommended. Popular pillows in hotels include the Tribay Multi-Chamber Synthetic Pillow and the Bio Classic Down Pillow.

Unhealthy but Common – Sleeping on Your Stomach
Sleeping on the stomach is considered unhealthy as it puts asymmetrical pressure on the cervical spine, leading to imbalances in the muscles that are strained on one side. This often results in tension and associated pain. The best solution is to change the sleeping position. If this is not possible, we recommend a flat, softer pillow. High-quality hotels have recognized the need to cater to guests' requirements and many now offer pillow menus, allowing guests to borrow their preferred pillow. The misconception that a pillow must be soft is outdated. A pillow must provide support to ensure restful sleep.
OUR TIP: Ask the hotel for a suitable pillow for your sleeping type and test it for a whole night. If you sleep well on the pillow, note the item number and manufacturer and order the pillow conveniently here at HOTELSHOP.one.
