We’re pleased to see Rebecca Litwin, owner and chief pillow officer at down etc, featured in The Spruce article “The Way You Make Your Bed Could Be Affecting Your Sleep—Pros Explain How to Get It Right for Your Sleep Style,” by Sarah Lyon.

Rebecca explains that bedding should reflect how each person sleeps. For hot sleepers, she recommends breathable 100% cotton sheets, pillowcases made from cotton, linen, or real silk, a comforter that does not feel overly heavy, and flexible layers that can be added or removed as needed.

Pillow loft and structure should also correspond to sleep position. Side sleepers generally need enough height to fill the space between the head and mattress; back sleepers can begin with a medium-loft pillow balancing softness and support; stomach sleepers benefit from softer, lower-loft pillows; and combination sleepers should look for adaptable support.

Rebecca emphasizes that there is no “magic number” of pillows. What matters is finding the combination that supports comfortable alignment and individual preferences. We appreciate Sarah and The Spruce sharing tips on finding the pillows and bedding to support restful and restorative sleep!
