What Pillow is Best for Your Neck?
One of the most common questions we get asked is: Which pillow is best for my neck?
The answer? It depends! The right pillow is one that fits your body type, sleeping position, and supports the natural curve of your neck. Let’s break it down.
The Importance of Neck Support
Your neck has a natural curve called the lordosis, and it’s crucial to support this curve while you sleep—whether on your back or side. If you’re a stomach sleeper, you might face some challenges since turning your head to breathe can strain your neck over time.
Choosing the Right Pillow for Your Sleep Position
Side Sleepers: You need a pillow that fills the gap between your shoulder and neck. A contoured pillow with a higher side can help maintain proper spinal alignment.
Back Sleepers: A pillow with a lower contour can provide the right amount of support without pushing your head forward into an unnatural position.
Stomach Sleepers: This position isn’t ideal for neck health, as it forces your head to twist for breathing. If you must sleep on your stomach, a very thin pillow or no pillow at all may be best.
Common Pillow Mistakes
Many people stack multiple pillows, causing their neck to tilt unnaturally, leading to discomfort and stiffness. Others use pillows that are too firm or too soft, failing to provide adequate support.
