What should I check in my winter mattress and pillow set-up?

1

Check your winter bed by looking at mattress support, how your pillow fits your sleeping position and whether extra bedding makes turning difficult.

Should I replace a pillow just because winter has started?

No seasonal replacement is required. Look at condition, cleanliness and comfort under your head. Follow the care instructions and replace an item when its condition or fit makes that necessary.

Can a topper repair a damaged bed base?

No. A topper adds a surface layer but does not repair structural damage. Inspect the base first and follow repair or replacement advice rather than covering the problem.

What if I sleep comfortably away from home?

Note what differs, such as pillow height, room temperature or mattress feel. That comparison can suggest a reversible experiment, but it cannot identify the medical cause of back pain.

Do partners need identical pillows?

No. Different sleeping positions and body sizes may call for different support. Choose each pillow individually instead of assuming a matching pair must suit both people.
