“What is the best pillow for my neck?”
This is a question I am often asked. The wrong pillow can cause or aggravate neck pain and stiffness, headache, scapular or arm pain. Sleep may be delayed or disturbed, or symptoms may be apparent on waking.
The ideal pillow will provide enough support to keep the neck and spine aligned in a neutral position. This prevents adoption of more ‘end-range’ neck postures during sleep, which are believed to increase biomechanical stresses on cervical spine (neck) structures.
