The modern market offers standard, anatomical and orthopedic pillows.

Each category of material has its own advantages and disadvantages – for example, anatomical ones follow the shape of the body and have a memory effect.

It is also important to consider the height indicator - from 7 to more than 12 cm. Sometimes it is recommended to consult a doctor.

But we also suggest relying on the characteristics of your main sleeping position.

  1. Back position. It is recommended to choose a pillow of medium height up to 12 cm so that the head does not fall too far back.
  2. On your stomach. In this position, your head is turned to the side - in this case, it is better to sleep without a pillow at all, since otherwise your back will be very arched.
  3. Sleeping on your side. In this case, the pillow should be higher so that the spine line is closer to a straight line.
