How To Put An End To Constant Neck Pain- Pillow Talk by Y4all: 10:38am On Sep 18, 2020
Pillows play a vital role in neck alignment and help the body rest well each night we lay to rest. It supports the head by maintaining spinal balance and easing muscular tension. Different factors can result in neck pain. Using the wrong pillow can also cause you to wake up with a sore neck. If you sleep and fail to position your neck aright, you can wake up with pains around your neck.
In addition to this, if you sit for a long time assuming a poor posture, it can affect your neck. Although we stated that different factors can lead to the pain you feel around your neck, there is a high possibility that your pillow is certainly playing a role in this situation.

Your pillow is saddled with the responsibility of supporting your neck to prevent strains and pressure. When a pillow is too high or too low, it can tell on your welling. Using a pillow that is too high or too low can mount pressure on your neck which can also result in discomfort. Also, your sleep style goes a long way to determine the pillow that is most appropriate for you. Here’s how to know the pillow that is most appropriate for you, “any pillow you use that works for you.” If it supports your neck, does not cause you discomfort or pain, then, it’s a YES pillow for you as there is no one size fits all in this case.

Advisably…
A stomach sleeper should use a soft pillow to keep the neck aligned while asleep. This is to prevent neck pain and possible discomfort.

Side sleepers would find a medium-firm or firm pillow more suiting if there have to maintain neck and spinal alignment as they sleep.

For back sleepers, a medium soft or medium-firm pillow would do the trick as our body varies. You can try them out to see which works well for you and keep your neck away from pains.

To put an end to neck discomfort:

Maintain good sleeping positions
There is no need to sleep in an overly complicated manner. You either sleep on your back, stomach or you sleep on your side. Although, it is possible to keep changing positions as you sleep, try as much as you can to be conscious enough to know when your sleep position is uncomfortable and adjust immediately.


Identify your comfort pillow
Truth is, no one pillow is best for all side sleepers, neither is there one general to the stomach or side sleepers. However, as experts, we suggest pillows that can support different sleep positions as explained above. We strongly advise that you identify that pillow that works well for you and stick to it.

Maintain good posture
Endeavor to maintain a good posture as you walk, sit, or even stand. Sitting in front of your computer screen for a long time in the wrong position will tell on your spine and neck as well. As much as often, consciously check your posture and correct it if you have to. This would go a long way in helping you eliminate frequent neck pains.
