Support a good sleep... and better health
Imagine sitting all day, day after day, at your desk in the office. When it's time to go home, you are tired and tense and simply long for a comfortable, refreshing sleep. The secret to waking up fresh and alert is to choose the right pillow. Here are all the reasons why this is so important.
Your pillow keeps your upper spine aligned.
Maintaining the natural S-curve of the human spine is the most important function of a pillow. If your pillow is too soft or the wrong height to support your neck, it can strain or cramp your muscles and lead to pain and stiffness in the neck, shoulders, and upper back the next morning. Sleeping with your neck in abnormal positions can also constrict the trachea and impair breathing. Such physical discomfort can disrupt your sleep and lead to fatigue, lower productivity, and a bad mood during the day.
"Your sleeping position determines the best pillow for you."
If you sleep on your back: A firm pillow with low to medium thickness maintains the natural curvature of the neck, which is slightly forward relative to the upper back. If your pillow is too thick, it pushes your neck too far forward.
When you sleep on your side: Your pillow should be firm and just thick enough to fill the space between your head and your shoulder, so that your neck is in a straight line with the rest of your spine. If it is too thin or too soft, your head can pull your neck down.
If you sleep on your stomach: A very flat pillow is ideal to prevent your neck from being raised above your spine. If you tilt your head upwards, your neck will hurt after a while - sleeping on your stomach with a thick pillow keeps your neck in the same position for six to eight hours.
If you frequently change positions during sleep, you might prefer a pillow that can adapt to different sleeping positions. Some pillows are designed to conform to your posture and support you, no matter how much you move in your sleep. Other pillows have higher and lower sections for side sleeping and back sleeping.
"What is inside makes a big difference for your comfort."
A pleasant night's sleep also depends on your pillow being pleasantly fluffy, firm enough for the support you need, and heat-dissipating. There are many types of pillow fillings that are suitable for your individual comfort needs and priorities.
Visco foam or memory foam provides excellent support as it adapts to the natural shape of your head and neck, allowing for the ideal alignment of the neck and spine. Whether visco foam is heat-dissipating or not depends on how it is manufactured. Look for open-cell visco foam that has air pockets to dissipate heat and moisture, making it cooler and softer than regular visco foam.
Down, another popular pillow filling, is ultra-soft and can also provide good support, but it absorbs body heat and can become too warm on hot nights. Down pillows also lose their shape over time and become flat.
The best way to find the right pillow for you is to try pillows in person. Lie down in your usual sleeping position to ensure that the pillow provides the support you need for good spinal alignment, and test pillows with different fillings to find the most comfortable one.
