Alleviate Back Pain and Poor Sleep With a Memory Foam Pillow
Choosing a pillow is very subjective but I always suggest you look for a few key features - comfort & support!
Memory foam is a temperature sensitive material that responds to your body heat, molding to the exact shape of your head and neck. Memory foam pillows offer the most support, can help alleviate neck and spinal problems and even prevent snoring!'
I feel a Memory Foam Pillow offers the most comfort & support as it will mold to the neck. This allows the neck to remain inline and therefore takes the pressure away.
I would suggest you look for a 'contoured' pillow. This is important to achieve optimal support in the nape of the neck. Look for a pillow that is contoured and has a high and a low side. The purpose of this is dependent on whether you lie on your side or in the supine position - lying down with the face up, as opposed to the prone position which is face down. I also find having the high and low sides means the pillow is successful with more people.
The idea of a good orthopedic pillow is to direct the pressure away from the neck area. Many pillows have tried to do this but in my experience the best solution is a pillow with oval cores. The oval cores within the high and low side of the pillow reverb the pressure away from the neck as opposed to a round core that directs pressure directly back into the nape of the neck.
Common problem - my pillow is too hot?
This can often be a problem as Visco / Memory foam is inherently warm. Many pillows are made by first heating the material and pouring this into a pillow mold. As this sets like a cake a firm skin is formed around the pillow - so as you rest on the pillow it traps the heat within making for a sweaty restless night.
Look for a pillow that uses an open cut cellular foam - simply cut from one large slab of foam, meaning tiny pores are left throughout the pillow - like a honeycomb. This allows for greater heat dispersion and therefore a cooler restful night's sleep.
