You’d ideally choose a pillow with a height that aligns with your sleep position.
Types of sleep positions:
- Side sleepers → best
- Back sleepers → second-best
- Stomach sleepers → worst
The pillars of a good sleep position are:
- Neutral neck position → head is not so high nor so low
- Neutral torso position → not so sunk into the mattress
- Neutral hip position → use support pillow (for back & side sleepers)
All of these are aiming for one thing: maintain a neutral spine.
So in practice, anything that helps align different parts of the body with the spine is a good thing.
→ Here are the objectives of a good sleep position explained.
Your pillow height should ideally be between 10-13 cm. Back sleepers should be aiming towards the lower end (10cm), and side-sleepers towards the upper end (12-13cm).
The best pillow for neck & back support is called Memory Foam Pillow.
