What is best pillow for neck pain
The 6 Best Pillows for Neck Pain - Better Spinal Alignment for More Comfort!
hey guys it's Sarah from sleep Ovilus
and today we'll be taking a look at the
best pillows for neck pain now if you've
ever woken up with a stiff or a sore
neck and thought man I got to get a
better pillow I promise you you're not
alone but don't worry
sleep Ovilus is here to help so even if
you don't deal with chronic neck pain
choosing the right pillow is crucial to
maintaining healthy posture while you
sleep that being said just remember that
I am NOT a medical professional so if
you're experiencing neck pain and you're
really not sure why it's best to see a
doctor however if you're pretty sure
that your neck pain has something to do
with the pillow you're sleeping on
you've come to the right place
so let's take a look all right so first
up on my list is the spine aligned
pillow by dr. lauth now this is a
cervical spine pillow also known as a
contour pillow that was literally
designed by a chiropractor to help back
in side sleepers specifically maintain
neutral spine alignment while they sleep
now you're gonna hear me say this a few
times but when it comes to alleviating
neck pain keeping neutral spine
alignment is kind of the name of the
game what that means is your head your
neck and your spine are all in happy
neutral alignment
nothing's craned upwards or sort of
falling down and that's gonna help you
to not only alleviate pressure in your
neck but also in your shoulder your
lower lumbar and it kind of just keeps
your whole body in a healthy posture so
that being said this pillow was designed
with three chambers two on the side for
side sleepers one in the middle for back
sleepers and the sides as you can see
are built with higher loft which is
gonna be better for side sleepers
keeping that healthy posture and then
the middle is kind of great because it's
got a lower loft which is better for
back sleepers but also it kind of
because the sides are higher kind of
almost locks back sleepers in place so
that you really can't deviate out of
that healthy posture too much but
additionally every single one of these
chambers is adjustable so if you want a
higher loft if you're a side sleeper
with broader shoulders and you need a
higher loft you can just unzip show you
here not make too much of a mess and
it's filled with a proprietary blend of
fiber and foam so it is offering that
sort of deep sink really great pressure
relief of sort of memory foam but you
can always just reach in ajar
and you know kind of just customize the
comfort to your liking and another cool
feature about this pillow is that one
side is actually designed to have a loft
that's higher so decide what the
company's logo is designed for sleepers
who are 5 7 in taller and then the other
side without the company's logo for
folks who are 5 7 in shorter I'm 5 feet
so I'm gonna stick to the shorter side
but that's kind of a cool feature this
pillow is really a perfect example of
something that's designed specifically
to help folks alleviate that neck pain
and keep neutral spine alignment and
prices range from 129 to 149 depending
on whether you choose the standard or
queen size alright so next up we've got
the Leila pillow and the reason I chose
this is because it's got a very lofty
build so that means it's quite tall it's
amply stuffed with a blend of kapok
which is a natural tree fiber and
shredded memory foam so that sort of
comes together to offer this really nice
balance between plush and supportive and
the memory foam does a great job of
conforming to your head neck making sure
everything stays in neutral alignment
but this is gonna be particularly
beneficial for sleepers with broad
shoulders particularly side sleepers
when you're sleeping on your side you
don't just want to alleviate neck pain
you want to alleviate that pressure in
your shoulder as well and because this
is so lofty it's gonna do a really good
job of that back sleepers can definitely
benefit from this too like I said does a
great job of conforming to your head
neck stomach sleepers this one's not for
you it's way too lofty but I got
something for you I'll show you later
now another thing I really like is that
it is adjustable like the spinal line
that we just saw so all you do is unzip
reach in you can see all that be careful
it can make a mess you can see all these
shredded fill in here and you know you
can feel free to remove as much as you
want to reduce the loft or even reach in
and sort of move the loft into places to
make it more lofty and this pillow is
either 79 or 99 depending on which size
you choose alright here we have the easy
breather side sleeper pillow from nest
bedding now similar to the Leila this is
amply stuffed with shredded memory foam
but unlike the Leila this is not blended
with any other material so it's just a
hundred percent shredded memory foam in
here which is going to offer great mold
ability which again helps to sort of
conform to your
had neck keeping everything in healthy
alignment but it also is gonna offer
more of a densely supportive feel and in
general side sleepers do need a bit more
firmer support and a loftier build so
this pillow really is tailor-made to
side sleepers but really takes it to the
next level is its unique boomerang
shaped construction so what this pretty
much allows you to do is while back
sleepers could rest comfortably in the
middle it really creates the seamless
transition for side sleepers who want to
roll from side to side without losing
that neutral spine alignment and again
we have another adjustable pillow and
the reason that I'm picking so many
adjustable pillows is because sleep is
something that we all do differently and
our bodies are different so when it
comes to alleviating neck pain a
one-size-fits-all rule is not
necessarily going to apply so as you can
see you can unzip here's all the sort of
popcorn sized pieces of shredded memory
foam you can feel free to reach in and
manipulate the fills you can customize
the loft and firmness to your liking and
this pillow comes in one size only and
it's about 120 bucks up next is the
avocado pillow and the reason I chose
this one is because it's designed to
offer support or pressure relief for
sleepers of all styles and positions so
this is gonna be a good all position
pillow for folks trying to alleviate
neck pain it's filled with an even mix
of kapok which is the natural tree fiber
we looked at in the lay low which gives
us sort of this plush fluffy feel and
natural Dunlop latex shreds which gives
more of sort of a bouncy response to
pressure so unlike with shredded memory
foam this is gonna sort of let the
sleeper rest on top of the pillow rather
than giving you that deep sink into the
material so if you're someone who feels
sort of trapped into that deep sink of
memory foam for example this might be a
good alternative for you another reason
I chose this pillow is that when it
comes to loft and firmness it's got sort
of a happy medium quality going on so
it's got a medium firm feel it's got a
medium sized loft so again it's gonna
lend itself well to sleepers of all
positions and styles but should you want
to manipulate the loft it is adjustable
so again just unzip reach in be careful
this can definitely make a bit of a mess
and just remove as much as you want
stomach sleepers who find this to be a
little bit too lofty I would definitely
recommend going in removing the fill and
this pillow comes in standard queen and
king sizes ranging from seventy nine to
ninety nine all right up next is the
down alternative pillow from pillow guy
now pillow guy makes two down
alternative pillows one for back and
side sleepers and one specifically for
stomach sleepers and I want to show you
the one for stomach sleepers because
stomach sleeping can be kind of a tricky
position during the course of my
research I talked to a physical
therapist within the sleep Ovilus expert
network and he reiterated that sleeping
on your stomach you're at greater risk
for putting too much pressure on your
neural arch the upper bony parts of your
your upper spine your lower back your
lower abdomen the list kind of goes on
and on so it is particularly important
to have the right pillow if you're going
to sleep in the prone position now I do
dive in a deeper detail about what makes
a perfect pillow poor stomach sleeping
in my best pillow for stomach sleeper
review but the key things to remember is
a low loft and a soft level of support
that being said this pillow is filled
with a proprietary blend called poly gel
fiber and basically it's a down
alternative but it's very easily
compressible so this as you can see this
pillow is able to sort of compress down
to a super low loft that pretty much
just creates sort of this fluffy very
thin barrier between you and your
mattress and again that's what you
really want because if your pillow is
even a little bit too lofty it's gonna
Crane your neck upwards and put your
head in your spine out of neutral
alignment and that's no good so again
very important to keep healthy posture
in there when you're in the prone
position and if you're not sure you're
sleeping on the right mattress and your
stomach sleeper you might want to check
out our best mattresses for stomach
sleepers review as well
now this pillow comes in standard queen
and king sizes and ranges from seventy
nine to ninety nine depending on what
you choose alright last but certainly
not least is the out cold pillow from I
love my pillow now this is filled with
one solid piece of the brand's
proprietary foam which does offer that
very deep sink into the material
conforms really well to your head neck
which like I said is going to do
good job of holding everything in
neutral alignment but it was also
designed to be lighter and more
breathable than traditional memory foam
now while it is not adjustable it does
have a dual construction wherein one
side is covered in this really really
soft micro mink material and it's flat
so it has a traditional loft and on the
other side it's covered in this I see
crisp phase-change material just super
cool to the touch which by the way can
serve to sort of soothe sore muscles but
it also features a shallow contour in
the center and this contour is gonna do
a particularly good job of helping back
sleepers maintain that healthy spine
alignment and the price ranges from 119
to 129 depending on the size you choose
well there you have it folks those are
my top pillow picks for sleepers trying
to alleviate neck pain but remember it
would be a shame for your pillows hard
work to go to waste if you're sleeping
on the wrong mattress so if you think
your mattress needs an upgrade just
