The entry point for the head is high at one end and low at the other, so you can choose which position is most comfortable for you. Made from memory foam (60 percent polyester and 30 percent bamboo), this pillow combines a central cavity to cradle the head with a neck extension to help protect the thoracic spine. This pillow from MARNUR thinks about this, while providing optimal support for the head and neck in a variety of different sleeping positions. While getting your head in the right place while sleeping is the universal challenge tackled by ergonomic pillows, for some people, getting your arms into a comfortable position can be another big challenge. Many ergonomic and therapeutic pillows are made slightly smaller than a standard pillow, but this does not mean it is lacking, it is still a good size and a good amount of space for wiggle room. Some only want a small space to rest their heads while others want the option to roll around a bit in the night. The overall size of the pillow is something to take in to consideration because of your personal preferences. Especially for ergonomic pillows, we don’t recommend polyester filled ones. While there are a lot of options for durable, comfortable, supportive materials to stuff your pillow with, on this list you will only find the best of the best to ensure you have a great night’s sleep. What your pillow is stuffed with affects all of the other areas of consideration for this list, so this may actually be the most important. Of course having a durable pillow is high on the list of importance as well as you will be using this pillow for eight hours every night.įrom the material that is stuffed inside the pillow to the casing, the pillow needs to be lasting so that once you pay for it, you know you will not have to replace it for a long time. While some of us prefer hard pillows over fluffy, you do not want you pillow to be so rigid and hard that it lacks the proper support and compromises your comfort, or worse even, that it creates lasting problems for the entire day. However you want the pillow to be fluffy enough that it is not flat, it is good to seek a balance between the two extremes. Your pillow doesn’t need to be too big and fluffy because that will negate the support and the point to buying an ergonomic pillow to begin with. Fluffinessįluffiness sounds like a really silly consideration to keep on your list, but you are going to want at least a little fluff to give you comfort while you are sleeping. The material should also be breathable, promoting airflow to keep your from being hot, sweaty and sticky as well as durable to keep up with the many uses that your pillow will go through. You do not want a scratchy surfaced pillow, you want a soft pillow made out of natural material. While you are probably going to put a regular pillow case over the pillow itself anyway, the original casing is still important. This way you will be guaranteed to feel like your neck and head are supported and that the weight is taken off of your shoulders.Īs I am sure that you already know, the casing of your pillow is important for your night’s sleep. I’ve chosen pillows with specific designs and/or memory foam that will conform to the contour of our neck. The pillows on this list are going to be high in support due to the way they are designed and modeled. If you are really wanting to invest in a pillow that works, the support to your cervical vertebrae is going to be paramount. Neck support, neck support, neck support. Perhaps you have a constant pain that you have accepted as normal, but you do not have to worry about that once you select an ergonomic pillow for you. You may notice this unhealthy strain every morning when you wake up, and you are probably noticing the effects of this long term as well. This is not just uncomfortable but horribly bad for your neck and causes extreme strain to your vertebrae and overall spinal health. Normal pillows do not curve to the natural bend in your neck, but are either too flat, or else too elevated and push your neck to bend unnaturally or lay flat against the surface. You will feel that your neck is held more naturally in a curved position that elevates your head slightly. The pillow is going to be extremely comfortable, but it is also going to cradle your neck and head in a more natural position that keeps you from straining while you are sleeping.
