  1. Why A Good Pillow Is A Solution For Headache & Neck Pain? A good night’s sleep relies on a comfortable mattress and supporting pillow. It is important to choose a mattress that supports our body during repose and also to complement it with the right pillow. The comfort that your mattress and pillow offer determines how refreshing you feel the next morning. So choose your mattress and pillow thoughtfully, fully considering your sleep style and health needs, apart from your budget. A pillow that adds on to the comfort of your mattress can also be chosen online. Why a Pillow is Essential? In the lying position we rest on our back, so ideally it’s our pillow which aligns our neck and shoulders with the spine. This is exactly the reason why a wrong choice on the pillow can aggravate our headache and give us discomfort in the neck and shoulder areas. Ultimate comfort and optimal firmness are essentials in a pillow to promote seamless blood flow through the head, neck, and lower spine. To ensure an undisturbed sleep, the pillow should be even in weight throughout its area. It should be firm enough to uphold our head, neck and back in good comfort whenever we turn to sides, back or front. Good examples for such pillows include the ones offered by Wakefit, a renowned manufacturer of sleep products. How to choose the right Pillow?

  2. 1.Go with your sleep style - Our mattress and pillows should be in sync with our sleep style, supporting our body in the lying position. Our sleep position is a key determinant of mattress and pillow choices. For side sleepers, a firm and thick pillow would be the best option as it offers them the much-needed neck support. This would complement their mattress which should be soft rather than pushing upwards For people who sleep on their back, a pillow with medium thickness and firmness would be a better choice. This is because they need a firm mattress to support their head, neck and backbone. Extremely thick or soft pillows can be wrong choices as the former raises the head undesirably forward, while the latter sinks it down to the mattress For people who mostly sleep on their stomach or front sleepers, a soft and flat pillow will be a great selection. This would harmonize their lying position with a mattress of medium firmness If your sleep style is a combination of all the above then you may find many positions comfortable throughout the night. Hence your mattress and pillow should be soft with a medium firmness to support the head and spine in all lying positions Check your pillow filling- The filling used in the pillow should be considered in case of allergies. For instance, foam filling would avoid allergic episodes, while breathable material will help people who sweat heavily. 2.

Pillows are used on a daily basis, so over time, they may lodge sweat, dead skin cells, dust mites, and other undesirable allergens. Hence replacing them once in a year or two is ideal. Pillows can be maintained in good condition for a longer time if encased in pillow protectors. Also important is the firmness of the pillow. So try folding your pillow into half and if it doesn’t spring back, then it has lost its firmness and has to be replaced. Now where to shop for the right pillow? An easy option is to shop for a pillow online. Also, try out the best choices with online mattress. A wrong pillow can toss you throughout the night, while the right one can assure you good sleep, keeping headache and neck pain at bay.
