How Your Pillow Affects Your Neck

Each one of us has a preferred position and way of sleeping. Although there are only three sleeping positions, back, side, and stomach, we have our own unique quirks and habits when sleeping.

Some of these sleeping positions and methods may, in fact, be the cause or aggravation of your neck pain because of improper spinal support and neck support.

Stomach sleeping is one of the worst sleeping positions, which causes pressure all over your body and is very dire to your neck muscles and spinal alignment.

Then, a second factor is your sleeping aids, especially your pillow. A pillow that does not properly support your head and neck will create tension in the neck muscles and improper spinal alignment, which will lead to neck pain and back and body pain.

As we can deduct from this, the right sleeping position, along with the best pillows for neck pain, may be exactly what your need for your neck pain.

With this said, we will carry on looking at the right pillow ty[pes to support your neck for your specific sleeping position.

Choosing the Right Pillow for Neck Pain

To make it easier, I have placed the best pillows for neck pain in categories of sleeping positions;

• Back Sleeping – For sleeping on your back, a round pillow to support your neck along with a pillow cushioning your head is an excellent option. Or you can opt for a special design pillow with built-in neck support and an indentation for your head to rest in. A concave design or cervical pillow will be ideal for back sleeping. Also, choose to fill materials that easily comfort your head and neck when looking at pillows, such as memory foam or feather pillows.
• Side Sleeping – To keep your spine straight when sleeping on your side, you need a pillow that is higher underneath your neck than your head. This is where the contour or concave design pillow is ideal. Memory Foam, latex, and feather Pillows are also ideal for side sleeping but need a higher loft ad to offer firmer support.
• Stomach Sleeping – Sleeping on your stomach is the worse position for neck pain and not at all recommended. Sleeping on your stomach causes your neck to be turned back to the arch, which is not ideal for neck pain or even back and shoulder support.

Features of a Good Pillow for Neck Pain

• Fill – Look for a memory foam, latex or feather fill for a good pillow for neck pain. The fill should be medium to firm with a higher loft for side sleeping. Solid or shredded memory foam and latex are both suitable. The cooling gel in most memory foam pillow model offers cooling options to memory foam that tends to overheat.
• Cover – A durable, removable and washable cover is ideal with a secure zipper closure. Polyester, bamboo, and voice are all ideal materials for the cover.
• Design – A contoured and concave design is ideal for side sleeping. A Neck Bolster with a pillow with an indentation separately or in one design is ideal for back sleeping.
