Pillow suggestions?? Have too much neck pain need new pillow?
Hello,
So here is my problem. I wake up almost every day from some kind of neck pain. My pillow sucks I know that. One is too big the other is so flat no support but I’m just not sure what to look for. I sleep in so many ways sometimes on my side on my stomach and on my back. It’s a pain but I just move a lot in my sleep. So I’m looking for something that will give me some support, I probably spend more time on my back and on my sides though just fyi. I’m looking at tempurpedics but not sure which one to go for so any suggestions would be really great I’m just looking for some input! Thanks so much!
If you sleep on your back you want to use no pillow or a very thin pillow, because you want to keep your spine straight as possible while you sleep. Same goes for if you sleep on your side you want just enough pillow to keep your spin aligned, NEVER SLEEP ON YOUR STOMACH. Just to validate my point imitate how your neck is positioned if you sleep on your belly or if you have a large pillow under your head while standing up and hold it for 4-8 hrs. I would also recommend strengthening your neck muscles, but there may be something else going on other than bad posture(can’t really tell not enough information provided). Anyway when you sleep you want to make sure that your head/neck is in-line with the rest of your spine.
Keep the flat at the top thats the best way! If it hurts then you need a new pillow
