Did you know that selecting the right pillow is a big deal? It might not seem like a complicated issue, but there are pillows uniquely designed to help you get your best night’s sleep. In this post, we’ll discuss various options to consider as you think about whether or not to bring along your own pillow while traveling. Of course, in our fully furnished Shreveport LA rentals, you can always opt to use the ones we have for you to use onsite if desired!
What are your needs?

- Back sleepers will need a pillow for neck support, but not anything too bulky. Check out this article from the Sleep Foundation for some options to consider.
- Side sleepers need support for their shoulder area and neck, so will want a puffier pillow that helps to mitigate the distance between your head and mattress. The New York Times discusses top picks for side sleepers in the article linked here.
- Stomach sleepers need pillows with the least bulk, since very little additional support is needed. Read this article from Forbes for possible options.
Of course, pillow loft isn’t the only consideration. You can also choose pillows based on…
Materials Used – Down, feathers, memory foam, latex, gel and wool are some of the materials that can fill the inside of your pillow and give it shape and support. If you don’t know what your preference is, it’s a good idea to test out several options, either by purchasing returnable pillows or by choosing a cheaper option and upgrading when you know what you like.
Special Considerations – Pillows can also help to address specific needs such as back pain, neck pain, pregnancy, sleep apnea and acid reflux. In addition, body pillows provide support between your knees and work to keep your whole body in alignment.
Now that you’ve decided on a pillow, it’s time to choose a pillowcase! Some pillows are washable and others would do better with the protection of a case. Silk pillowcases feel wonderful and may promote healthy hair and skin. Cotton, linen and flannel are a few of many other fabrics to choose from.
