Orthopaedic pillows

How to determine the right pillow height for pain-free sleep 

Who is an orthopaedic neck pillow suitable for?

Back sleepers, side sleepers and sleepers who change their sleeping position during the night particularly benefit from an orthopaedic pillow. In these positions, without additional support, it is almost inevitable that the neck will bend during sleep, resulting in an unfavorable posture and a variety of complaints. In addition to muscular problems, snoring or sleep apnoea can also be caused by an incorrect pillow, as the airways become narrower due to the unnatural positioning of the neck.

Speaking of breathing: when buying an orthopaedic pillow, allergy sufferers with a house dust allergy should look for an anti-allergic filling and a removable pillowcase, which is ideally washable at 60° C. This also prevents allergy symptoms. This way, allergy symptoms can also be alleviated with an orthopaedic neck pillow.

<h5>An orthopaedic pillow can be helpful for:

• Tension in the neck muscles
• Head, back or neck pain
• Sleep problems due to discomfort
• Snoring or sleep apnoea

If you also suffer from one of these problems, an orthopaedic pillow can be helpful and significantly improve your sleep. However, health complaints and pain should always be checked with a doctor.</p

<h5>Orthopaedic pillows - certified for all sleeping positions

In order to wake up pain-free in the morning and start the day without tension, the neck pillow must suit your sleep type and sleeping position.

Neck support pillow for side sleepers

Side sleepers usually need a slightly higher pillow, as the hollow space between the head and shoulder is more pronounced than in the supine position, for example. The pillow should therefore not be too flat in order to provide you with optimum support when sleeping on your side.

<h5>Orthopaedic back sleeper pillow

A neck support pillow with a lower height is recommended for back sleepers. If the pillow is too high, the spine is overstretched, which can cause tension and pain.

Ventral sleeper neck pillow

If you sleep on your stomach, you should make sure that the pillow does not overstretch your spine. A very flat neck support pillow or a pillow with an indentation is therefore generally recommended for stomach sleepers.</p

If you are not sure about the height of the pillow or are one of those people who change their sleeping position during sleep, then an orthopaedic pillow with two different heights is a good choice. These pillows have two bulges of different heights, allowing the pillow height to be changed by simply turning the pillow.
