Pillows

Choose a pillow that is not too firm or too high as you want your neck supported with your head at the same level as your upper spine. Typically this is a low to medium profile pillow depending on your frame size.

According to an article by Harvard Medical School, a rounded pillow with built-in neck support that supports the natural curve of your neck and an indentation for the neck is a good way to go.

Look for a pillow that can conform to the shape of your neck. The key is to keep your spine straight with a pillow that is higher at the neck and lower at the head.

There should be no gap between your neck and your pillow when lying on your side. Typically this is a medium to high profile pillow - depending on your frame size.

It’s advisable to choose a very soft, flat pillow or no pillow at all to help keep your neck and spine as level as possible. So a low profile or kids pillow is the right choice.

However, experts don’t recommend sleeping on your stomach. When you do so, it causes your back to arch and neck to turn, straining your neck and spine.

Profile refers to the height of the pillow. Different pillow profiles provide different sleeping experiences. Picking the right profile pillow is important to ensure correct spinal alignment and getting a good nights sleep.
