Best Pillow For Neck Support

 

1. Is a high or low better for neck pain?

Avoid using too high or stiff a pillow, which keeps the neck flexed overnight and can result in morning pain and stiffness. If you sleep on your side, keep your spine straight by using a pillow that is higher under your neck than your head.

2. What is the best pillow for neck support?  

The best pillow for neck and shoulder pain is firm enough to hold the head at a healthy angle but soft enough to alleviate pressure points. Most sleepers find success with either memory foam, latex, buckwheat, or feather pillow, as these materials offer the best balance of support and pressure relief.

3. What kind of pillow do chiropractors recommend? 

With a supportive waterbase core, the Mediflow Water Pillow is the top choice when it comes to chiropractic pillows. The placement of the water base allows for evenly distributed support for your head and neck, regardless of the sleeping position you choose.

4. How do I pick the right pillow? 

Look for one that's as thick as the distance between your ear and outside shoulder. Stomach sleepers may need a soft pillow—or no pillow at all—underneath their head. A pillow under your stomach and pelvis may help prevent back pain. Back sleepers may need a flatter pillow, to keep your head and neck in alignment.

5. Can the wrong pillow cause neck pain?

Neck pain induced by sleep can be because of using the wrong pillow. Sleeping on the wrong pillow can leave you with neck and back pain for weeks. Also, improper sleeping positions could contribute to both back pain and neck pain.
