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.
What sleeping positions are worth highlighting?
How to choose a pillow.
- 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.
- 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.
- Sleeping on your side. In this case, the pillow should be higher so that the spine line is closer to a straight line.
