Have you ever woken up with a stiff neck?
Having the right pillow is not only comforting, but it plays an important role in supporting the upper body in overall alignment during sleep, relieving pressure and counterbalancing the points in the body.
Your mattress only provides you with approximately 80% of support and pressure relief, while your pillow provides the other roughly 20%. To truly have a good night's sleep, you need both as it is a sleep system.
With so many pillows out on the market, how do you know which one is right for you?
A few tips:
- Side Sleepers need a thicker pillow to support their head and neck
- Pillow Profile: Medium
- Back Sleepers may prefer a low profile pillow, cervical pillow or neck roll
- Pillow Profile: Low
- Stomach Sleepers may prefer no pillow or a very thin profile pillow
- Pillow Profile: Low
