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-shape 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 narrow the windpipe and impair breathing. Such physical discomfort can disrupt your sleep and lead to fatigue, reduced 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 preserves the natural curve 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.
If you sleep on your side: Your pillow should be firm and just thick enough to fill the space between your head and 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 downward.
If you sleep on your stomach: A very flat pillow is ideal to avoid lifting your neck above your spine. If you tilt your head upward, your neck will hurt after a while – sleeping with a thick pillow on your stomach puts 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 adjust 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 respectively.
What’s inside makes a big difference for your comfort
A comfortable night's rest 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 suitable for your individual comfort needs and priorities.
Visco foam or memory foam offers excellent support as it adapts to the natural shape of your head and neck, enabling ideal alignment of neck and spine. Whether visco foam dissipates heat depends on how it is made. Look for open-cell visco foam that has air pockets to dissipate heat and moisture and is cooler and softer than regular visco foam.
Down, another popular pillow filling, is ultra-soft and can also provide good support but 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 the pillow provides the support you need for good spinal alignment, and test pillows with different fillings to find the most comfortable one.
