1. What is your sleep style?

There are several types of sleep styles for an individual even if the bedtime changes nightly or waking up at different times every morning. Your natural sleeping style is depending on the style that how you wake up. If you are a

Side Sleeper (Fetal)

A firmer pillow is required to support the head and the neck so that the space between the head and mattress is able to fill with the spine to maintain a straight and natural horizontal line. A thicker and firmer pillow is needed for someone who sleeps on the side than sleeps on the back. The broader the shoulders, the firmer the pillow needed for maximum support and comfort, which is why Rehst Adjustable pillow custom-fills every pillow to fit the individual.

Back Sleeper (Flat on your back)

A lower height firm pillow than a side sleeper is required to support the neck that should be in line with the spine throughout the night. This is the best posture for people who suffer from back pain as gravity keeps your body in an even alignment over your spine. This sleeping style also can help in relieving the hip and knee pain as the unnecessary pressure on the back and the joints can be reduced.

Front/Stomach Sleeper (Lying on your stomach)

This is the most stressful sleep style compared to the other two sleep positions. A flat and soft pillow is required to decrease the strain on the head and neck while sleeping lying on the stomach. Straining and bending of the neck throughout the night will result in shoulder and neck pain.

2. The difference between Rehst Adjustable pillow, Microfiber pillow, and Memory foam pillow.

Rehst Adjustable Pillow makes by using hypoallergenic microfiber together with medical grade gelinfused memory foam to create a breathable pillow so that it could regulate the temperature of the head while sleeping.

Rehst Adjustable Pillow which uses a zippered washable protector cover allows the user to wash both of the pillow layers and the protector so that the user can enjoy a hygiene pillow that lasts longer for 2-3 years.

3. What is Gel-infused foam?

Gel-infused foam is the addition of gel microbeads, the temperature regulating materials into it to create a more breathable foam, that can provide a cooling effect while sleeping. It is constructed from the same viscoelastic material commonly found in regular memory foam mattresses, but it introduces one extra factor: gel. The millions of tiny microbeads infused within the foam, provide extra airflow to help in drawing the heat away from the body. Gel-infused foam is firmer than traditional memory foam as the gel-I fused foam is denser than regular foam.

4. What is the best position to sleep on the pillow.

Side Sleeper (Fetal)

Fetal style is the most popular way to sleep. It is recommended that this kind of sleeper sleep with two pillows, one underneath the neck, and place another pillow between the knees. Putting a pillow between the knees help in a better alignment of your hips to avoid low back pain. This sleeping style is also good for pregnant women.
