To sleep comfortably, we spend thousands of dollars to GET the best mattress that suits us perfectly. However, we seem to take little notice of our pillows. For as long as its fluffy and its cuddly –we’re all set.
Choosing the right pillow is important as the right pillow provides proper neck support, helps prevent snoring and gives us an overall great sleeping experience.
Here are a few tips to get THE pillow that’s right for you:
TIP NO. 1 – Select your pillow according to your sleeping position
Your pillow should be dependent on how you sleep. Selecting your pillows according to your sleeping position gives you a pillow that is constructed to give you the best support that suits the way your body and neck is angled. For instance:
TUMMY SLEEPERS should get a soft, flat pillow because it gives you ample support without straining and raising the neck too far.
