A Good Nights Sleep…Choosing the Right Pillow for YOU

A Good Nights Sleep

Did you wake up this morning with neck stiffness?

How many pillows have you purchased over the last 2 yrs?

Did you know that an unsupportive neck pillow may be the cause of your headaches?

A goods night rest is essential for our daily functioning, vitality and overall productivity. Many of us struggle with either falling asleep or staying asleep. Your quality of sleep may be compromised to many factors, one of which may be the wrong pillow!

Keep the following tips in mind when choosing the RIGHT pillow for YOU:

  • Your pillow must feel comfortable so that you feel rested upon waking
  • The RIGHT pillow should support the natural curvature of your neck without adding undue pressure or stress to your upper back or shoulders
  • Your pillow should mold to your necks shape
  • A poor or too flat of a pillow will not support the natural curve of the neck which will add extra stress to your muscles and cause bad sleep
  • Whilst sleeping on your side, if your pillow is too high or too low, this will cause your neck to move incorrectly hence causing muscle strains

Back Sleepers:

Pillow should support the neck and feel comfortable for the head and shoulders. Placing 1-2 pillows under your knees can also help to reduce back strain

 Side Sleepers:

Pillow should firmly fit between your ears and your shoulders supporting both the neck and head. If the pillow is too high, this will cause the neck to bend incorrectly and add more strain. A pillow or cushion placed between the knees can also help to reduce low back strain.
