It perfectly holds the mold, the filler does not roll down, wear-resistant, perfectly absorbs sweat, however it requires cleaning at least once a year. Longest combined combination of pillows - from down and feather.

2. Pillows made of wool are rather curative than those used for sleeping. Good for relieving muscle pain and rheumatism. Wool rolls down, so if there are no synthetic additives, then the pillow quickly loses its original appearance.

3. Pillows filled with buckwheat husks and grass are designed to normalize sleep and are used for various diseases. Constantly on such pillows it is not necessary to sleep. However, if you are suffering from insomnia, you can fill the pillow with fragrant hay in the summer with the addition of valerian or herbaceous motherwort, after which you will sleep like a baby. Sometimes they use special sachets with herbs, which can be put in a regular pillow. Buckwheat husk is considered useful for relaxation, so those who often travels can take with them a small pillow that will help on the road.

4. Synthetic filler for the pillow - the most common material recently. It can always be washed, it is light, in addition, you can change the density of the pillow filling yourself.
