Dimensions of pillows with holofiber filling are standard. According to GOST, two sizes of pillows are available in our country.

70x70 cm is the well-known size of the product, which is used everywhere. Even the majority of bedding sets are sold under this parameter. But now this size is increasingly losing its popularity. It is replaced by a product size of 50x70 cm. This size is more anatomical for an adult. Manufacturers of bed linen also began to listen to the requirements of the market and offer models of their products with exactly this size of pillowcases.

But pillows are used not only for sleep, but also for interior decoration. Here you can often find square products with a side of 50 cm or 40 cm.

Choosing the right pillow is very important.Not only good sleep depends on it, but also the health of your back and even your brain.

When buying a pillow from a holofiber, first of all do not forget to ask for product certificates. Its quality must comply with the standards established in the Russian Federation. This must be done in order not to run into a fake and as a result not to receive low-quality goods with a completely different content.

Next is to determine the size of the product. If the pillow is too big and your head is quite high on it, then during sleep there is a clamping of the vessels providing oxygen to the brain. As a result, there may be pain in the head and neck. Too low a product will also lead to a wrong body position. You will always have the desire to put something under your head.

The height of the pillow should correspond to the size of the shoulder. For most people, it is equal to the parameter 10-14 cm. But, for example, for wide-shouldered athletes, the height of the pillow can reach 16 cm and higher.

On the market, holofiber pillows have a wide variety of shapes. Here you can find, in addition to the standard rectangle and square, products in the form of triangles, circles and even hearts.But experts believe that the preference should be given all the same traditional form, and all sorts of variations used only for the decor of the room.

Not the last indicator when choosing is the rigidity of this product. It is more dependent on the position in which you used to sleep. If you like to sleep on your side, then you need a more rigid base, so you should give preference to a more densely stuffed pillow. If your favorite pose is on the back, then you should choose a product with medium stiffness. Sleeping on the stomach, people need to get soft pillows, they will take the most comfortable position.

Well, if it is made of natural fabric. Such a pillow will be less electrified and tactile give a more pleasant feeling. Also it is necessary to prefer a removable naperku. This will allow it to be washed separately from the pillow if necessary, it will not be necessary to unpack the case.

If you choose pillows from holofiber as interior ones, then it is better that the filler in them be combined with foam rubber. Such products are more dense and keep their shape better.

Not the last role in the selection has a manufacturer of pillows. It is worth reading the reviews on the purchased products, as some companies offer not very high-quality goods. At the same time, the low price is not always indicative of poor quality and, conversely, the high cost of goods does not guarantee a good product.

You can make a holofiber cushion yourself. Material for filling can be purchased at any store that sells products for needlework. Napernik can also be bought ready-made, although it will not be difficult to sew it yourself.

To do this, you need to take a piece of cloth, put on it the dimensions of the pillow, while one of the dimensions should be doubled.

Add 1 cm allowance from all sides.

On the remaining open side, leave a small hole (slightly larger than your fist) so that you can put the filler inside. Overlay the edges where necessary.

The product is stuffed at the rate of 600 grams of filler per product 50 by 70 cm. Using this amount of holofiber, a product of medium height and rigidity will be obtained.For those who prefer a softer pillow, the amount of filler can be reduced to 500 grams. For a stiffer and higher cushion, you need to take about 700 grams of holofiber.

After you have prepared the filler, you need to put it in the case, evenly distributing the entire volume of the future product. Then you should carefully sew up the remaining hole in the napernik.

The last step is to whip the pillow. To do this, you must take the product with two hands and, joining and spreading the palms, to make cotton-like movements.

Holofiber pillows are good because they are allowed to be washed.

But you should not allow the use of a washing machine. If the holofiber is to be washed in it, it will become lumpy, and it will be almost impossible to restore such a product. At the same time, the possibility of using a washing machine does not depend on the cost of this attribute for sleeping. With prolonged rinsing and spinning at high speeds, the structure of the filler will deteriorate and the product will lose its properties, lumps will interfere with comfortable sleep.

Do not help to change this situation and balls for washing down jackets. Hologofiber balls are still deformed and knotted. Also, the situation will not ease the delicate modes of washing, and turning off the spin.

For washing it is better to use liquid detergents designed to care for down jackets. It is easier to rinse out of the product. If you have such a tool is not available, you can use the usual shampoo for hair.

Detergent needs to be dissolved in a basin with cool water and put a pillow there. Fluid temperature should be less than 30 degrees.

The pillow should be left soaked for 30 minutes, then gently squeeze it. It is impossible to unscrew the product.

The next step is to rinse the pillow well. It is necessary to change the water several times until the moment when the froth stops forming.

To dry the product should be in a well-ventilated area on a horizontal surface. Periodically it is necessary to beat it up so that the balls of the holofiber dissolve.

If the cover on the pillow has large dirt, then it is better to wash it separately. For this you need to remove the entire filler. With holofiber there will be no problems, as it does not fly apart, like feathers and feathers, for example. Next, the cover can be washed in a washing machine, apply if necessary bleach and stain remover.

If you have violated the washing technology and the filler is still crumpled, you can try to restore it.

The second accessory can be bought at any pet store.

To try to give the holofiber a former elasticity and restore its structure, it is tedious to put a small amount of filler on the comb and gently comb it with a comb for animals. At the same time, it is necessary to carry out this manipulation until the holofiber is fluffy enough. You should not hope that the filler will get its original appearance and properties. But still, some time, until you get a new pillow, the product with the restored filler can still serve you.

Wash pillows from holofiber is not often, only with special need. But every year, in spring and autumn, the product must be dried in the fresh air. To do this, the pillow must be taken out onto the street and positioned, avoiding direct sunlight on the product.
