Your next favorite pillow is easy to select with these tips

Occasionally people neglect the lowly pillow. It looks innocuous enough on that bed doesn’t it…? With the correct one under your head and neck, you’re sure to awaken refreshed and ready to meet the world.

With the incorrect pillow though, you’ll experience neck aches like the ones I used to get where you are able to barely move your head from one side to the other without some pain. Bad news.So the right pillow, and the right sized pillow will make all the difference in your sleep and in your vitality level as well.

Lets start with the fundamentals about pillows first.What position do you normally sleep in..? This will tell you how substantial, or “lofty” and thick the ideal pillow for you should be so you’ll be more comfortable and cozy and sleep better then ever! If you sleep on your back:Then chose a medium loft, denser pillow to fully support your neck and head properly.

If you sleep on your side like over half of us do:Then go for a more firm and substantial pillow so that your spine is actually aligned for the comfiest sleep possible.And if you sleep on your stomach:Then try for a thinner, softer pillow. This will help you avoid positions that really put lots or stress on your spine, which can lead to back and neck pain. I learned this the hard way when my back would be really sore and pop back out of place after constantly using a pillow that was way too thick for my sleeping position.
