What is a pillow menu—and why does it matter?
A pillow menu is a simple but powerful way to personalise your sleep. Instead of settling for a one-size-fits-all pillow, you select the feel that supports your neck and spine, helping you fall asleep faster and wake without stiffness.
At Hotel Schweizerhof St. Moritz, each room includes a pillow menu, so you can tailor your setup the moment you arrive. Combined with the hotel’s smoke-free rooms and the naturally cool mountain climate (guest rooms are not equipped with air-conditioning), you have the foundations of a restful night.
How to choose the right pillow from our pillow menu
Choosing a pillow is easier when you know what to look for. Use these steps to match a pillow to your body and habits.
1) Start with your sleep position
- Side sleepers: Typically benefit from a higher loft (thicker) and medium–firm support to keep the neck aligned.
- Back sleepers: Often prefer a medium loft and medium support to maintain neutral head position.
- Stomach sleepers: Usually do best with a low loft and soft support to reduce neck extension.
These guidelines are widely accepted ergonomics principles that help keep the spine aligned overnight.
2) Pick the right loft and firmness
- Loft refers to pillow height. Match loft to your shoulder width (for side sleepers) or the space between your neck and mattress (for back sleepers).
- Firmness affects how much your head sinks. Heavier frames or those who want more support tend to choose firmer options; those seeking plush comfort may choose softer fills.
3) Understand common pillow fills (quick guide)
Below is a general guide to common pillow types you may encounter. Use it to interpret the options on your in-room pillow menu and choose your ideal feel.
| Fill type | Typical feel | Support profile | Often chosen by | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Down/Feather | Plush, compressible | Soft to medium | Back and stomach sleepers who like a cloud-like feel | Easily shapeable; some prefer it for a luxurious, enveloping sensation |
| Microfiber/Synthetic | Smooth, consistent | Soft to medium-firm | Travelers seeking easy-care comfort | Generally low-maintenance and a popular everyday choice |
| Memory Foam (solid) | Contouring, slow response | Medium to firm | Side and back sleepers who want precise neck support | Cradles the head and neck for even pressure distribution |
| Memory Foam (shredded) | Moldable, breathable | Medium | Sleepers who like to fluff and shape | Adjustable feel with better airflow than solid foam |
| Latex | Buoyant, springy | Medium to firm | Sleepers who want responsive support | Holds shape well; naturally resilient feel |
| Buckwheat Hulls | Firm, highly adjustable | Firm | Those seeking stable, customizable loft | Conforms to shape; distinct granular feel |
Tip: If you are between sizes or unsure, start with a medium loft and adjust based on how your neck feels in the morning.
4) Consider sensitivities and comfort preferences
Rooms at Hotel Schweizerhof St. Moritz feature hypo-allergenic bedding, an important consideration for guests with sensitivities. If you generally prefer smooth, consistent support, you might gravitate towards microfiber or latex styles. If you love a plush sink-in feel, down-like options are often popular.
5) Fine-tune during your stay
Pay attention to how you feel upon waking:
- Neck stiffness or a tilted chin can indicate the pillow is too high (or too firm) for your position.
- A sore shoulder (for side sleepers) can mean you need a higher loft or firmer support to keep the neck level.
- If you’re tossing and turning, try a different fill type to change responsiveness and pressure relief.
