How Pillows Promote Proper Sleeping Positions

How Pillows Promote Proper Sleeping Positions

By Brian Acton

As we’ve noted before, the position in which you sleep can have a dramatic effect on your sleep quality and whether you get a good night’s rest. Your sleep position also affects many other areas of your health, including your spine, neck, and posture. Poor sleeping positions can lead to stiff necks, spinal problems, and even chronic conditions over time. What’s more, chronic poor sleeping patterns can lead to irritability, increased stress, a decreased immune system, and other complications. Primarily, the recommended sleep positions are on your back and on your side. Sleeping on your back is good for your spine and neck but can contribute to snoring. Sleeping on your side supports the spine and can alleviate snoring. The downside is that side sleeping can contribute to heartburn and pressure on your organs. Whether you’re a back or side sleeper, our line of cervical pillows are designed to encourage healthy sleeping positions, providing you a good night’s rest, reducing pain and soreness, and otherwise diminishing the stress and discomfort in your daily life that is caused by a lack of proper sleep. So how exactly do pillows help us sleep properly? There are a few ways:

Support Pillows Our support pillows - like the Tri-Core Cervical Pillow – enforce good sleeping positions by providing firm, reliable support to your neck and back. They are correctional in nature – meaning they help correct posture that can cause headaches, neck and joint strains, and other forms of spinal pain. They also help the sleeper maintain proper sleeping posture and prevent the recurrence of pain or poor sleeping positions. When you sleep on your back, support pillows are there to provide relief to your muscles and neck and lending support so that your body doesn’t have to do all the work. As a result, your muscles get their needed rest and your spine is properly aligned. If you sleep on your side, support pillows fill in the gap that is normally created between your chin and your shoulder and properly aligns your spine. Our pillows have both a depressed center for back sleepers and raised sides for side sleepers, and so you’re always covered even if you shift between both positions.

Accommodation Pillows Accommodation pillows provide a different service. Those with long term conditions or recent injuries should try accommodation pillows, as they conform to the cervical condition of the sleeper. These pillows provide support less aggressively than support pillows, and generally work for pain relief or sleepers who do not need posture correction. The sleeper can get a good night’s sleep no matter their condition because pain is lessened through the contour of the pillow.

Support AND Accommodation For sleepers that need both support and accommodation, the Core Deluxe Water Pillow satisfies both needs. The pillow can be used standalone, but also contains a water bladder that can be used for adjustable support or inserted into the pillow to provide additional neck support for the best of both worlds.

Conclusion Pillows are personal, and they must be chosen with your specific needs in mind. However, the difference they can make for your sleep quality and sleeping position is tremendous. If you still need help picking the right pillow, feel free to give us a call!
