What Is The Best Pillow To Sleep With?

What is the best pillow to sleep with?  The answer depends on what position you sleep in.

Whether you sleep on your stomach, back, or side,  you’ll need a different pillow for each.

When looking for a pillow, you’ll want to make sure that your head and neck are in alignment with the rest of your body when you’re sleeping.

If you were to look in the mirror from a side position, you want your ear to be over your shoulder. This indicates that your body is in proper alignment.

So, if you are a stomach or a back sleeper, you’re going to want a thinner pillow to keep your head and neck in alignment.

If you are a side sleeper, you’re going to want a thicker pillow, to make sure your head doesn’t fall to one side or the other.

Speaking of a side lying position, if you sleep on your side, it is healthier and best to sleep on the left side. This helps with digestion, it helps with heartburn and also keeps stomach acids below the esophagus, which is very important, especially for women who are pregnant.

There are also cervical roll pillows that have two humps to them, and can be used in a back lying position, or a side lying position. You can find these at a healthy back and posture store, or online.
