Pillows - Choose your size
How to choose a pillow size
Fit your pillow to your body and your bed
To select the right pillow, you must consider your body, your
sleeping positions, and your mattress. Whether you sleep on your back,
side, stomach, or somewhere in between, the ideal neck (orthopedic or cervical)
pillow should comfortably support your natural spinal curves.
Fit your pillow to your sleeping positions
Do you sleep on your side, your back, or your stomach? Or all three?
People who sleep on their backs need a flatter, thinner neck support. Those
who sleep on their sides may need a thicker pillow. People who sleep on their
stomachs usually prefer a pillow under their chest, a very thin head pillow, or
no pillow at all. Good neck alignment is difficult to maintain while sleeping on
the stomach. Your habitual sleeping positions determine the key contours your
pillow should support.
Traditional pillows raise the head, leaving the length of the neck
unsupported and sagging. Well-fitting neck pillows are usually thicker or firmer
at the neck and thinner or softer under the head.
Mattress firmness influences how a pillow performs. If your
mattress is very firm you need a thicker pillow. If your mattress is very soft
you need a thinner pillow. The point is to
Choose a pillow that will support the positions you sleep in most of the
night. When you shop for a pillow, remember that it is not unusual for one
person to need pillows of different sizes for different sleeping positions. Some
pillows have different shapes on each side to accommodate different sleeping
positions.
