There are a wide variety of pillows available on the
market today in various materials and shapes and sizes.
At Pillows Made to Measure we decided that any material
we use to make our pillows must have the following five
essential properties.
The material must be comfortable to the touch.
The material must be flexible enough to meet our NCi
rating.
The material must be environmentally friendly.
The material must have a resilient supportive
structure.
The material must have a long life as the final
product.
So each type of common pillow material was tested to
see if it matched these essential properties.

Important
All pillows will lose support and compress over time
- no matter what type of material they are made of. One
of the most common problems is not knowing when your
pillow has reached it's used by date. Poor sleep, back
and neck discomfort and waking fatigued are usually the
first signs that your pillow is no longer giving you
enough support and comfort.
At Pillows Made to Measure we can help you by using
your unique NCi Rating, we are able to calculate when
your pillow will start to naturally lose its support and
comfort.
So as part of our continued service to you, we will
send you an email reminder (usually one month prior), so
you can re-order a new pillow helping you to maintain
your healthy and comfortable sleeping pattern.
