The Sleep Upgrade Checklist — 5 Signs It’s Time to Break Up with Your Pillow

Still holding onto that pillow you’ve had since your college days? (Yikes.)
Let’s be honest: some relationships just run their course—including the one with your bed pillow.

Here are 5 dead giveaways that your pillow is past its prime (and why switching could literally save your neck).

☁️ 1. It Flattens Instantly

You lay down and—poof—zero support.
If your pillow compresses like a marshmallow and stays that way, it’s not doing its job.

🛏 Try this instead:
👉 Cervical Pillow — memory foam structure with soft-touch finish

🔄 2. You’re Flipping, Folding, and Re-Fluffing

You shouldn’t have to fight your pillow into place every night. That’s a toxic relationship.

🛏 Try this instead:
👉 Lunar Body Pillow — long memory foam design that molds to you and stays put

🌬️ 3. You Wake Up Sweaty

If your pillow’s trapping heat, you’re not sleeping—you’re roasting.

🛏 Try this instead:
👉 Breathable fabrics like bamboo Air Layer on all DonaHöna pillows = cool, dry rest

😩 4. Neck or Back Pain Is Your New Normal

This one’s obvious, but we’ll say it louder: if your neck hurts every morning, your pillow is likely the problem.

🛏 Try this instead:
👉 Hungarian Bread Pillow or Cervical Pillow, depending on your sleep position

🧼 5. It’s Older Than Your Streaming Subscriptions

If your pillow is more than 1–2 years old and has seen better (cleaner) days… it’s time.

Good sleep starts with good gear—and your pillow is the MVP.
