Finding the Right Pillow

Do you think all pillows are the same and that it doesn't matter? Pillows do matter!
You could be sleeping on the wrong pillow, and missing out on a better nights sleep. Whether you are a side, back sleeper or stomach sleeper; sleeping on the wrong pillow could have cause you aches and pains on the neck, back or shoulders.
But you should not have to worry about sleeping on the wrong pillow.
There are certain things that can be taken into consideration before purchasing your next pillow.
As the images above demonstrate the best sleep relies greatly on the pillow you sleep on. For any type of sleeper the ideal pillow provides enough support according to weight, ensuring proper neck and spinal alignment.
If the pillow is too high it will cause your neck to bend too far forward and out of its proper alignment. But if a pillow is too low it will cause your neck to fall too far backwards also causing unalignment.
The perfect pillow should adjust itself to your head giving you the necessary support for your head and neck all depends on the your weight and height.
