Pillows with loose filling should be shaken regularly to maintain their bulkiness and adaptability.For washable fillings it is recommended to wash the complete pillow approx. every six months, the same applies to washable covers of neck support pillows with foam core. If the user perspires heavily or is allergic to house dust, more frequent cleaning may be advisable.

Rice cookers Steamers are offered regularly in selected supermarkets, department stores, electrical stores & Co., but you always face the same problem: The small selection and the overpriced prices leave much to be desired. After all, you want a cooker that is as powerful as possible, large enough for you and your fellow human beings and, on top of that, an optimal price-performance ratio should be offered.

Pillow bought, everything seems great - but after a few nights it turns out: it has the wrong height. Stupid! Therefore, models that can be adapted to personal needs are helpful - via a zipper. This allows you to remove some of the filling material or add more. Some supporting foam cushions also offer this possibility. Inside they then consist of several larger parts.

It has to be compact: Most rice cookers have a capacity of 3 to 10 cups (uncooked). We have concentrated on models that can cook in about 6 cups. Stoves that were available in two sizes also received a plus point. If you don't cook too often for large groups, you're better off with a 6-cup cooker. Everything that is even smaller is more suitable for one-person households. If you have a large family or like to visit, you should consider the larger model.

If your hair is flat and thin, you will probably add volume and thickness when blow-drying and styling your hair. Therefore, you probably don't need the added benefits of smoothness and shine that come with an ionic hair dryer. A common misconception is that high heat is required to dry hair. Extreme heat, however, can not only damage fine, thin hair, but also do nothing for your hair in the Style and Bounce Department. When styling flat, thin hair, it is best to use a ceramic hairdryer that regulates the heat level to prevent damage to sensitive hair, creating buoyancy in strands that are otherwise limp and lifeless.

People often try to dip only into a full head of hair to dry, which leads to a curly hair nest. Instead, cut the hair and grab each section separately. This way you can ensure that each section is properly dried before proceeding to the next section…

The purpose of a pillow is to fill the space between the mattress and the head/neck in such a way that the cervical spine does not bend and the head is neither tilted up nor down when lying down. Depending on the sleeping position, both the shape of the cavity to be filled between the mattress and the head/neck area and the height of the required support vary. A pillow should therefore be selected so that it supports you perfectly in the sleeping position in which you lie most of the time.

“Fuzzy logic”: The term means that the machine is equipped with a computer chip that can record and adjust cooking parameters to iron out human errors (e.g. too much water in the pot). In contrast, simple rice cookers work mechanically and have no idea when, for example, too much or too little water was added. Most rice cookers over 100 euros have a fuzzy logic feature, although some work much better than others.

Non-stick cooking pot: A non-stick coating is standard on most rice cookers and makes it easier to clean, so you'll have fewer problems with sticky rice. Most rice cookers have a plastic inner pot, but we prefer a metal one as it will probably last longer.

Side-sleepers must make sure that the shoulder remains stable on the mattress and that the head does not bend down. A narrow pillow size of 40 x 60 or 40 x 80 centimetres, which fits well into the cavity between the shoulder and head, is best suited.

Probably the best known is still the classic feather pillow, which provides the right feather pleasure during a pillow fight. However, the very puffable pillows in the size 80×80 cm with a filling of feathers and down are no longer the non-plus-ultra among pillows and ergonomically not really recommended.

The “Thermomix” model from Vorwerk has found its way into many households in recent years - and is convincing due to its wide range of functions, but only achieves a place in the midfield in the Stiftung Warentest 2015 test. Many parents are also not enthusiastic about the high price (approx. 1200 EUR) and also about the distribution system (partly through representatives). We have therefore looked around for Thermomix alternatives including cooking function, which are convincing - and at the same time much cheaper. We have also clearly listed the best kitchen machines from Stiftung Warentest.

Side sleepers: The distance between the mattress and the head area is greatest in the side position. In order for the shoulder to sink into the mattress, the pillow must not reach under the shoulder, but only support the head and neck. The recommended pillow size is therefore a supporting pillow of 40×80 cm or 40×60 cm. Depending on the contours of your body (wide or narrow shoulders), the height required may vary - in this case you should try lying on the pillow and have a second person check whether the spine forms a straight line and its shoulder axis is at right angles to the mattress. If your neck area is considerably narrower in relation to the width of your head, you will lie most comfortably on an ergonomically shaped neck support pillow, otherwise soap-shaped pillows are also recommended. Back sleepers: If you are lying on your back most of the time, you should make sure that you do not choose your pillow too high. A relatively flat pillow is usually sufficient to keep your head horizontal - it should never be tilted upwards. In this sleeping position, the pillow's main task is to provide correct support for the lordosis in the cervical spine area, so it is best to lie on a flat neck support pillow, which supports the cervical spine by means of an ergonomic elevation in the lower pillow area and does not reach under the shoulder area. If you have a pronounced hunchback, you may need a slightly higher pillow to lie comfortably. Abdominal sleepers: In the not recommended prone position, no pillow is actually needed, since raising the head area inevitably leads to overstretching the neck and bending the spine in the direction of the hollow back. Also, the neck vertebrae are strongly twisted when using a pillow. If you cannot sleep at all without a pillow, you should only use a very flat pillow, in which you should not sink in if possible - only in this way is it possible to breathe without having to turn your head even more. Some manufacturers offer specially shaped pillows for this purpose, which have a hollow in the nose and mouth area.
