Yes, you definitely can and should use pillows on an air mattress! Here’s why:
Pillows enhance the sleeping experience:
- Support: Pillows cradle your head and neck, keeping your spine aligned for a comfortable rest. This helps prevent morning aches and stiffness.
- Comfort: A soft pillow adds a familiar, cozy touch to the air mattress, making it feel more like your regular bed.
- Warmth (Optional): If the room is cool, an extra pillow can provide a little added warmth.
Choosing the right pillows:
- Personal preference: What feels good to you is most important. Some people like thick pillows, others like thin ones.
- Sleeping position: Side sleepers may need a firmer pillow to fill the gap between their head and the mattress.
- Try what you have: Before buying special pillows, see how your current ones feel on the air mattress.
Pro Tip: In addition to pillows, real sheets and a comforter make a huge difference in turning your air mattress into a comfy sleep spot!
