Pillows

A bed pillow might be one of the most important purchases any person ever makes. We spend up to one-third of our lives in bed, and a bad night's sleep can ruin your day. Your choice of bedding might affect your whole life, so buy good stuff and buy it at a good price at Overstock.com.

Pillows are totally an individual choice--whatever works for you is the right choice. Down-filled, those containing the light, fluffy feather tips harvested from ducks and geese, have long been considered the best of sleeping pillows. They are unequalled in softness and fluff. Today, memory foam pillows, a product of the space-age, are gaining in popularity. Also called a contour pillow, a memory foam pillow contours itself to exactly the shape of your head, then springs back to normal when you get up. Whatever your preference in material, your preference in shopping should be Overstock.com, where great quality means great savings.

In pillows, size does matter. For twin, full or queen size beds, the standard 26-inch pillow works well. For kings, you should consider a 36-inch. Most king size bed in a bag sets or sheet sets will include pillowcases for those larger pillows.

Where support is a factor, body pillows are a great choice--down or foam filled, they provide support along the full length of your body, giving you an asleep-on-the-clouds feeling. One special type of support is the maternity pillow. More like two pillows sewn together, it's designed to allow a woman to sleep on her back or side while getting full support on both sides of her abdomen.

Of course, you've saved a lot of money shopping at Overstock.com, and such frugality should be rewarded. Don't close out your order until you've added some decorative pillows or a nice needlepoint pillow cover to dress up the bedroom.
