... For Sleeping Purpose: Pillows are used for basic purpose i.e. sleeping. They support our heads and keep our neck in alignment with the rest of the spine. A pillow that is too fluffy, or more than one pillow, will throw the whole spine out of alignment and cause back pain, neck pain and headaches. A pillow should be strong enough to keep your head level with the rest of your body.

Unless you are a back sleeper, you are likely adding wrinkles on your face every time you get up in the morning. You must have seen “sleep lines" printed on your face where you are pressed against your pillow. Buying a right pillow will help you to get rid of this problem and stay wrinkle free for longer.

Anti-wrinkle pillows are in market in different size and shape and are actually recommended by skin specialists. Many of us avoid sleeping in different position and that is where a quality anti-wrinkle pillow such as a feather pillow, down pillow or a memory foam pillow can be very beneficial. They are soft and comfortable and really good for your skin. Their main aim is to provide support to the bony area of your face and relieve pressure on softer part of your face.

For those who want to go easy on the pocket need not spend extra money on reducing the wrinkle lines. There is a basic rule - The firmer your pillow, more wrinkle lines you are likely to get. Switch to feather or down pillows which are very soft and comfortable as compared to cotton pillows which generally dry out your skin and make it rough.

Another way to get rid of wrinkles is switching to satin or silk pillows. They allow oxygen to circulate and make skin smoother and clearer.

One can find these quality pillows in many high end stores or online on stores like John Lewis, Dunelm or Homescapes Europa Ltd.
