About Pillows & Cases products

In New Zealand, pillows and pillowcases support comfortable sleep within a wider range of high-quality bedding.

Pillows and their cases are an incredibly important part of your bed, helping you achieve that perfect night’s sleep to leave you refreshed for the day ahead. They not only have to be comfortable and breathable but durable too so you’re not replacing them every few months. ArchiPro features only the best pillows and pillowcases in New Zealand from reputable brands and trusted suppliers.

Types of pillows and pillowcases

There are many different types of pillows and pillowcases in New Zealand that you can consider when refreshing the bedding in your home. The range covers lodge pillow cases and white pillow cases, as well as pillows made from silk, wool and cotton.

Down pillows

Down pillows come from the fluffy down of geese or ducks and are a very comfortable option and one of the most popular in New Zealand.

Memory foam pillows

These are also popular and take the shape of an individual’s neck and head giving a very personalised solution.

Cotton pillows

Cotton pillows are an excellent choice for those who want to sleep on their sides or stomachs. They are also ideal through all seasons.

Oxford pillowcases

This type of pillowcase is made with a cotton blend and has a flat top as well as decorative edging which is classically timeless.

Bag style pillowcases

These are similar to the oxford style but have a drawstring that keeps the pillow snug.

The advantages of high-quality pillows and pillowcases

There are a number of advantages to choosing high-quality pillows and pillowcases that will definitely give you pause for thought if you are thinking otherwise. Pillows play an important role in taking pressure off your neck and back while you're sleeping, helping you achieve that good night’s sleep. As a result, you should only opt for the best of the very best. High-quality pillows are designed to do this better than standard alternatives through their design and use of superior-grade materials. Meanwhile, high-quality pillowcases not only help protect the pillow itself but provide a cool and comfortable fabric to rest on. High-quality options also tend to have more sophisticated designs, adding a decorative element to your bedroom too. A cooling pillow case can provide a cooler feel against the skin.

How to choose pillows and pillowcases that are right for you

There are a number of things to consider when purchasing a pillow and pillowcase in New Zealand. With respect to the first, the type of pillow, whether it be a down, feature, memory foam, microfibre or otherwise is a good place to start. Each has its own unique qualities with respect to comfort and feel as well as longevity, sustainability and durability that will influence your choice. Materials for pillowcases are also important but the aesthetics play a part too, thinking about colours and designs and how they might complement other bedding features like your duvet covers, for example.

How often should you change your pillows?

We recommend replacing your pillows every few years though this will depend on the type, material and quality of your pillows. However, they can essentially be used for as long as they are comfortable.

Why is a pillow important for sleep?

When you are sleeping on the right pillow, you can rest your head to prevent neck pain. If you are sleeping with poor posture, it causes tension in the muscles and joints of your neck, shoulder and back. A good quality pillow will help relieve this tension.

Should your pillow be high or low?

The ideal height of a pillow should be around 10-13 cm above the mattress. This helps prevent neck pain and allows you to rest your head comfortably on the pillow.

What are the best fabrics for pillowcases?

You can use two primary materials for your pillowcases - cotton and silk. Cotton is the most popular fabric because it's soft and breathable. Silk is very comfortable; however, it can get sticky during summer in some parts of New Zealand.
