The perfect pillow

Normally, we don't stop to think about whether our pillow is right for us, until the dreaded neck, back and head pain appears.

The fact is that a pillow that is right for you can have a great impact on the quality of your sleep, and therefore on your health and well-being.

We all have different ways of sleeping and, therefore, depending on our particular styles, we will need to choose a type of pillow.

Resting posture

If your usual posture is on your back, the best option for sleeping is a not very thick pillow that adapts to the natural curvature of the spine and simply acts as support for your head and neck.

To sleep on your stomach, your pillow should be soft, padded, and cushion the head and neck at a comfortable angle, preventing sudden turns to the sides.

If you sleep on your side, the ideal would be a high, firm or very firm pillow that adapts to the contour of your head, neck and shoulders, helping to maintain the strong>body in a horizontal line.

In any case, for people who suffer from neck pain, a cervical pillow is recommended that reduces the pressure exerted on the area and keeps the neck and head aligned with the spine during sleep.

When you go to buy a pillow, or simply choose a certain one at a hotel (if they give you the option), you will know a little more.

Try and you will see the difference.
