The best organic pillow ever. I love this pillow (especially its hard but very comfortable “feel”), of note I have not slept on pillow for the last 45 years because I was not able to fall asleep on a pillow. I recently found out about an old C5 compression fracture???? and was recommended to begin to sleep on a cervical pillow. Happy I FOUND THIS GREAT POLISH COMPANY!

 

Importance of Using the Correct Pillows and Mattresses

Mattresses and pillows have a big impact on our lives, regardless of how insignificant they may seem. Buying the right mattress, pillow is the key to your overall comfort and health. They directly affect your quality of sleep as well as your mood during the day. Therapeutic pillows are the best choice for individuals who have neck pain problems.

 

 

Therapeutic Pillows

As the name suggests, therapeutic pillows are specially designed to provide beneficial support to the individuals who need it. These are not your ordinary pillows. Usually, therapeutic pillows are prescribed by qualified health professionals.

Some health specialists call it an orthopedic pillow. Soft or regular pillows are generally not suited for therapeutic purposes as they cannot provide the necessary support. One of the primary reasons many health buffs use therapeutic pillows is that they help maintain a good posture. These pillows can relieve neck pain and headache while aligning the neck and spine in an ideal position.

Many orthopedic pillow manufacturers offer pillows with a unique trapezoid design that supports the neck while cushioning the head at the same time, thus providing better cervical support. Furthermore, most orthopedic pillows available on the market are also hypoallergenic for added comfort and safety.

 

How to Choose a Pillow for Neck Pain?

The entire purpose of a pillow is to support your neck and head in proper alignment with your spine. The natural neck position includes a natural curve, and maintaining this curve when sleeping is very important. Orthopedic pillows also come in different materials, sizes, and shapes. Height is the most important aspect.

 

A pillow that is too high when on your side or back may cause your neck to bend unnaturally. This may result in strain in the neck and shoulders as well as muscle stress. If a pillow is too low, it may also lead to strain in your neck muscles. Generally speaking, a pillow should maintain a four to six inches height in order to provide proper head and neck support.

If you like to sleep on your back, the it is recommended that you choose a flatter option that keeps your neck and spine aligned properly. And if you are side sleeper, then make sure that you buy a pillow that’s dense enough.

In conclusion, it is very important that you look for a pillow that will comfortably take up the space between your neck and shoulders while you are sleeping in your favorite position.
