Pillow Menu
We sleep for one third of our lives, which is why comfortable and restful sleep is vital. People with health conditions may sleep even more than the average person. This makes bedding decisions for hospitals and care homes even more important to their patients well-being.
Sleep helps our bodies and minds repair, so a happy sleep environment is key to our health.
There are a variety of factors which influence a person’s sleep or rest. A critical element of getting a restful sleep or being comfortable when resting are pillows. Pillows are vital to rest and recovery, particularly for those who are recovering from surgery, illness or may be bed bound.
Comfortable pillows
We know the comfort of patients in hospitals is a priority for their recovery and overall wellness. Patient’s staying in hospital overnight may feel anxious. Therefore providing them with a comfortable bed environment to sleep in can ease those worries.
Additionally, care home residents are likely to need extra comfort when resting and sleeping, particularly if they are elderly or unwell.
Some of the most important qualities in a comfortable pillow are the temperature regulation, upper body support, material it is made from and the shape of the pillow.
For this reason, we have created a pillow menu to showcase the variety of pillows we have available online. There are a variety of needs and considerations when purchasing pillows. To solve this, we supply a range of different pillow types, from waterproof to flame retardant, as well as different sizes and styles.
Here is a handy visual pillow menu for finding the right pillow.
