<br>Your answers to these questions will help you find the best pillow for you. What position do you sleep in? To give your neck and head the support they need, you want a pillow that wont tilt your head up or down too much. If youre a back sleeper, you may need a flatter pillow than what a side sleeper needs. Stomach sleepers should look for a thin pillow so that it doesnt push the [Derila Neck Relief Pillow](https://wiki.snooze-hotelsoftware.de/index.php?title=Benutzer:NormaVick7) up too high. You want your spine and neck to stay in as neutral an angle as possible, thereby relieving stress to both, says Joel Press, MD, the physiatrist-in-chief at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City. If you tend to cycle between sleeping on your back and lying on your side throughout the night, choose a pillows firmness based on the position in which you fall asleep. What type of mattress do you have?<br>
<br>You might not think to ask this question, but its important. If you have a firmer mattress, you want a fuller pillow. If you have a softer mattress, you want a thinner pillow. That applies whether you sleep on your side or your back. The reason is that a softer mattress [typically](http://dig.ccmixter.org/search?searchp=typically) allows the body to sink into it, so theres less of a gap between your head and the mattress, says Chris Regan, who oversees pillow testing at CR. Firmer mattresses keep you from sinking in as much, leaving a larger gap between the mattress and [Derila Neck Relief Pillow](https://reviews.wiki/index.php/PT_Pillow_PUTIAN_-_Factory_PT_Pillow:_Custom_Pillow_Manufacturer) your neck to fill. Are you allergic to certain materials? Some people may be allergic to latex or buckwheat-fillings youll find in pillows on the market. Some people may have an allergy to dust mites, which tend to inhabit synthetic pillow fills like polyester fiber more than down, according to a study in the International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.<br>
<br>The use of down and feathers in pillows is regulated, and [Derila Customer Reviews](http://120.26.46.180:3000/clydepicton482)™ Memory Foam Pillow both are cleaned to ensure that theyre free of bird allergens, such as feather dust and mites, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. Check the label carefully for the pillows fill to be sure theres nothing you might be allergic to. Even if you see claims of hypoallergenic materials on a pillows packaging or label, be wary: There are no federal standards for the term "hypoallergenic." One material that doesnt typically cause allergic reactions is synthetic latex. But it might release volatile organic compounds or chemicals such as formaldehyde, and might harbor dust mites, [Experience Derila Support](https://cerrajeroelespinar.es/hola-mundo/) according to the AAFA. If youre allergic to dust mites and not the pillow material, you may want to consider buying a pillow protector. Do you sleep hot or cool? If you tend to get sweaty while you sleep, youll want a pillow that breathes and dissipates heat.<br>
<br>In our tests, pillows made with shredded foam or polyester tend to stay cool better than ones made of solid foam. And dont fall for pillows with a "cool" gel layer. "Though they might initially give you a feeling of coolness, of the pillows we test, we find that this feature can trap heat and moisture," Regan says. Do you need an adjustable pillow? A relatively new concept, adjustable pillows allow you to make changes to the filling and customize it for your comfort, making it less likely youll be dissatisfied with a pillow soon after buying it. They tend to perform better than other pillows in our tests because they can be aligned with your needs. The manufacturer typically includes a guide with instructions for each sleep style. See our guide to learn how to customize an adjustable pillow to your liking. Do you want a machine-washable pillow? Most pillows in our ratings are machine-washable, [typically](https://www.behance.net/search/projects/?sort=appreciations&time=week&search=typically) using the cold setting. But be sure to check the manufacturers cleaning specifications on your pillow before washing. Some materials, such as foam slabs, shouldnt be washed by machine. Unless your pillow is made of a single piece of foam, fluffing it every day will help it maintain its shape. Read our complete guide to how to wash a pillow by material type.<br>
<br>Did you ever notice that no male doctor ever sat on a female patient's bed on "Ben Casey"? Or that, for a long time, all TV doctors were men? Today, TV doctors - male and female - are more likely to be flawed characters. And while shows hire medical experts as technical advisers, writers aren't under any obligation to make any changes based on the suggestions of those pros. It wasn't always that way. In 1951 when the first TV medical drama, "City Hospital," aired (and in the 1960s when "Ben Casey" was popular), the American Medical Association was invested in portraying medical accuracy, not preserving the story line. And for a few decades it was within the organization's right to demand script changes over concerns ranging from proper decorum to the way TV surgeons and doctors held their instruments. And in return, they'd stamp the show with the AMA seal of approval (shown at the end). Let's look at "ER," for instance: "ER" debuted in 1994, and by 2001 one out of five doctors reported their patients were asking not only about diseases highlighted on the show, but also about specific treatments used in episode story lines.<br>
