How much thought did you put into purchasing your last pillow? For many of
us, it was a quick decision. Perhaps you purchased on the basis of price. Chances
are, you didn’t get the best quality pillow, and maybe you had to replace
it fairly soon. Maybe you purchased it because it was “soft”. This
is probably the number one reason people choose a particular pillow. Did you
know that there are certain pillows for certain sleeping types? Many people
don’t realize that there are many different choices ranging from back
sleeper to side
sleeper pillow.
Whether you own a back sleeper pillow, a neck pillow, or a side sleeper pillow,
choosing your pillow should be an important decision. Did you know you spend
about a third of your life sleeping? How would you like to sleep without your
pillow? Most of us would find it impossible. Still, is your pillow perfect or
does it leave a bit to be desired?
For those of us who like to curl up on our sides, a side sleeper pillow is
best. Since more than half of the population sleeps in this position, it’s
understandable while side sleeper pillows are top sellers. Side sleeper pillows
actually reduce snoring. People who snore find that turning on their sides makes
for fewer snoring episodes and less-obstructed airways. It’s even been
reported by physicians that those sleeping on side
sleeper pillows in this position actually have fewer sinus problems.
If you are a side sleeper, you may find yourself uncomfortable at times. You
turn, curl onto your side, and you find that your shoulder is in the way. Where
should you put it? This turns into a frustrating struggle to get comfortable.
Those who don’t own side sleeper pillows often try to compensate by squashing
their pillow a dozen different ways. People fold the pillows. They roll them
up. They sit up, agitated, plumping the pillow. Some people even resort to punching
the pillow. The end result is always the same. Your shoulder doesn’t quite
fit the way it should.
Worse yet, people who don’t own side sleeper pillows may wake up with
a red, sore ear. You shake your head from side to side, feeling a bit out of
sorts. That’s probably because the bottom line is that buying a pillow
isn’t just about buying the softest pillow available. A pillow actually
has a very important job… to keep your neck and head supported when you
sleep while keeping your spine properly aligned.
If you’re a side sleeper, there’s good news. Now you can actually
purchase side sleeper pillows that take your sleep style into consideration.
These side sleeper pillows are made to fit your body by cradling your head and
neck for proper neck and spine alignment. Best of all, it’s suited perfectly
to your sleep style making it the most comfortable way for you to sleep. For
side sleepers who previously thought “a pillow is just a pillow”,
you’ll be astonished at the difference!
