DO orthopedic pillows really work?
You may feel better and sleep better with a neck pillow. It’s sometimes called a cervical pillow because the upper part of your backbone (where your neck is) is called the cervical spine. Research suggests that a pillow with good cervical support can help relieve neck pain and improve rest.
Is an orthopedic pillow worth it?
Turning to an orthopedic pillow is a great step towards a healthier and more therapeutic sleep regiment. They can help alleviate pain in multiple parts of the body, and promote improved spinal alignment and posture.
What pillows do Osteopaths recommend?
Pillows should generally be between 4-6 inches in height, and should alleviate the pressure points around your neck and shoulders. Extra thick pillows or especially flat ones are most likely the wrong choices (again, this depends on your sleeping position).
Is a firmer pillow better for neck pain?
The best pillow for neck and shoulder pain is firm enough to hold the head at a healthy angle, but soft enough to alleviate pressure points. Most sleepers find success with either a memory foam, latex, buckwheat, or feather pillow, as these materials offer the best balance of support and pressure relief.
Is cervical spondylosis serious?

How do you sleep on an orthopedic pillow?
A neutral sleeping position keeps all the bits and pieces in your back and neck in in their ideal positions. This helps to prevent unnecessary pressure on your discs, muscles and nerves. Keep your spine neutrally aligned and you’ll avoid discomfort (or worse).
How long do Orthopaedic pillows last?
Memory Foam Pillows – 24 to 36 months – we have a winner!
