One of the most common causes of neck pain is sleeping on a poor mattress and/or pillow. If you are not getting the right support and pressure relief that your body needs, your spine, hips, shoulders and neck will be affected.
Health professionals agree that the correct position for sleep is for your spine to be in neutral alignment. In effect, your spine is parallel with the floor. When sleeping on your side, which is considered the healthiest sleeping position, your head needs to be supported at the correct height and your neck is not tilting up or down. You should also check that your shoulders and hips are benefiting from some pressure relief from a well-designed mattress. For back and tummy sleepers, a pillow with a low profile will help keep your head from tilting and causing pressure on your neck.
We will always recommend a contour pillow for best support.
A contour neck pillow is designed to accommodate the natural contours of the head, neck and in certain cases the shoulders. They are often called pillows for neck pain and are usually higher at one side and drop in the centre, creating an indentation where the head rests. This contour shape gives greater support under the neck than a classic-shaped pillow, as well as comfortable positioning of the cervical vertebrae (the neck part of the spine). A contour neck pillow should provide support for the neck and head whilst assisting the body to achieve a neutral spine.

Adjustable pillows are also great for those who aren’t sure which pillow is the best for their spine. They can adjust the fill level until they reach a neutral cervical spine, and the base of the neck is supported.
Types of pillows to avoid
If you suffer from neck pain or soreness, avoid pillows that don’t support the contours of your neck properly during sleep, especially if you tend to move around a lot overnight. Overly soft pillows or those with uneven fill can cause your head to sink too deeply, placing strain on your neck muscles.
It’s also best to skip overly high pillows that push your head forward, as they can lead to stiffness and tension. Well-structured pillows for neck pain will always help maintain alignment and comfort throughout the night.
