The decision about where to rest your head at night should be about more than just comfort. Here’s how to pick the right pillow for you.
Deep sleep: what is it and how much do you need?
“While a bad pillow will not be the sole cause of any headaches, shoulder, neck or arm pain you may be experiencing, it can definitely worsen any underlying issues,” Seeley says.There are a number of factors to consider when picking the right pillow. While it’s natural to change positions during the night, many of us will have one position we end up in most commonly – and it’s this position you should keep in mind when shopping for a new pillow.If you’re a back sleeper, you’ll want to look out for a pillow that is firm enough and thick enough to support the natural curve of your neck and keep you aligned as you lie backwards.
“I would advise a moulded support pillow, such as a memory foam or orthopaedic pillow, as their high raised curves provide ideal support for your neck and room for your shoulder without pushing your head up too high,” Seeley says. “This allows your body to rest in a more natural position without pushing it too far out of alignment.”
