How
much thought did you put into purchasing your
last pillow? For many of us, it was a quick decision.
Perhaps you purchased on the basis of price. Chances
are, you didn’t get the best quality pillow,
and maybe you had to replace it fairly soon. Maybe
you purchased it because it was “soft”.
This is probably the number one reason people
choose a particular pillow. Did you know that
there are certain pillows for certain sleeping
types? Many people don’t realize that there
are many different choices ranging from back sleeper
to side sleeper pillow.
Whether
you own a back sleeper pillow, a neck pillow,
or a side sleeper pillow, choosing your pillow
should be an important decision. Did you know
you spend about a third of your life sleeping?
How would you like to sleep without your pillow?
Most of us would find it impossible. Still, is
your the best
pillow for you or does it leave a bit to be
desired?
For
those of us who like to curl up on our sides,
a side sleeper pillow is best. Since more than
half of the population sleeps in this position,
it’s understandable while side sleeper pillows
are top sellers. Side sleeper pillows actually
reduce snoring. People who snore find that turning
on their sides makes for fewer snoring
episodes and less-obstructed airways. It’s
even been reported by physicians that those sleeping
on side sleeper pillows in this position actually
have fewer sinus problems.
If
you are a side sleeper, you may find yourself
uncomfortable at times. You turn, curl onto your
side, and you find that your shoulder is in the
way. Where should you put it? This turns into
a frustrating struggle to get comfortable. Those
who don’t own side sleeper pillows often
try to compensate by squashing their pillow a
dozen different ways. People fold the pillows.
They roll them up. They sit up, agitated, plumping
the pillow. Some people even resort to punching
the pillow. The end result is always the same.
Your shoulder doesn’t quite fit the way
it should.
Worse
yet, people who don’t own side
sleeper pillows may wake up with
a red, sore ear. You shake your head from side
to side, feeling a bit out of sorts. That’s
probably because the bottom line is that buying
a pillow isn’t just about buying the softest
pillow available. A pillow actually has a very
important job… to keep your neck and head
supported when you sleep while keeping your spine
properly aligned. There are very good memory
foam pillows on the marked that do just that.
If
you’re a side sleeper, there’s good
news. Now you can actually purchase side sleeper
pillows that take your sleep style into consideration.
These side sleeper pillows are made to fit your
body by cradling your head and neck for proper
neck and spine alignment. Best of all, it’s
suited perfectly to your sleep style making it
the most comfortable way for you to sleep. For
side sleepers who previously thought “a
pillow is just a pillow”, you’ll be
astonished at the difference!
