Pillow for Neck Pain Relief
A good night’s sleep is essential to starting the day off right. On average, people spend approximately 1/3 of their day or 8 hours a day sleeping. Without the proper pillow to support your neck, you can easily spend 8 hours a day tossing and turning, which will leave you, not only unrested but also put unnecessary pressure on your neck. Avoid unnecessary neck pain from an uncomfortable night’s sleep by ensuring you have the right kind of pillow. Selecting the right pillow starts with sleep style. If you sleep on your back—otherwise known as supine lying—then selecting a pillow that will cradle your neck, like the Tempur-Neck Pillow, will do wonders for you. Side sleepers require a firmer pillow that fills the distance between the ear and outside shoulder, like the Tempur-Side Pillow, to allow for better alignment and support. The least ideal sleeping style is stomach sleeping as it commonly contributes to back pain and discomfort; stomach sleepers should, therefore, look for a pillow to tuck under the stomach in order to avoid lower back pain. In an ideal situation, stomach sleepers should find sleep supports that will train them out of stomach sleeping.
Regardless of your sleep style, make sure that you own a pillow that meets your specific back and neck comfort needs. The wrong product can worsen existing neck pain and exacerbate your symptoms. If your pillow is past its prime, it is probably not doing its job. Visit a Relax The Back store in Houston to speak with a neck and back care product specialist to help you choose a neck pillow that is not only expertly designed, but also suits your specific body type and sleep style.
Not all ergonomic products are built the same, and they do not all serve the same purpose. Choose a pillow that is designed to fit your body type. Especially when it comes to providing relief from neck pain, neck pillows are not one size fits all. Choosing the right pillow may seem like an easy task, but be sure to factor in the ways in which you specifically require support. Back care product consultants at Relax The Back are extremely knowledgeable in this area and can help guide you towards a pillow that is right for your body.
A person’s lifestyle, stress levels, occupation and daily activities can all contribute to neck pain. One benefit of an ergonomic neck pillow is that it uses anatomic design, which in addition to relieving pressure also provides maximum comfort. When your neck is properly supported, you are allowing your neck and shoulder muscles to relax and are better preventing neck pain.
Providing yourself with a neck pillow that is properly designed and targeted to your specific body type can be extremely beneficial. Visit any Relax The Back store in the Houston area to choose from an array of products and pillows aimed at getting you the neck pain relief you need. Speak with a back and neck care product specialist who can guide you towards the right pillow for you.
