Pillow Buying Guide

Sleeping Positions

Your normal sleeping position will determine which pillow is right for you. Whether you’re a side, stomach or back sleeper, JCPenney has a pillow that will make your sleeping experience more relaxing.

 

Sleep Style	Comfort/Firmness	Pillow Fill
Stomach	Soft - Medium	Synthetic
Back	Medium - Firm	Natural
Side	Firm - Extra-Firm	Memory Foam

Although you may move around in your sleep, you probably have a position that is most comfortable.

 

Stomach: If this is your preferred position, you can minimize the strain on your neck by selecting a flat pillow (with less fill) that is soft and light.

 

Back: A medium-to-firm, average-fill pillow is well-suited to this position. The medium fill will offer your neck correct support and your head some softness.

 

Side: A firm to extra-firm, extra-fill pillow that will provide enough support so that your neck is correctly aligned with your spine is required for the side sleeper.

 

Not Sure/Frequently Change Positions: It’s best to go with a soft pillow that can be fluffed/adjusted to achieve comfort in various positions. Natural fill pillows fit the bill as they are most flexible.
