At The Spine Institute Center for Spinal Restoration, we know that neck and back pain can sometimes occur after sleeping on a lumpy, poorly shaped pillow. Investing in a product that is specially designed to provide spinal support can help eliminate the discomfort and stiffness that results from resting on a non-supportive pillow. Several different manufacturers offer product lines that are designed to offer optimal support of the neck and spine and are listed below:
-
Carpenter Company
offers a pillow, the Beyond Down Side Sleeper that is reinforced and filled with gel fibers that keep their shape and resist becoming separated and uneven. It is machine-washable and hypoallergenic.
-
PPC’s
memory foam cervical/neck pillow provides firm support and an elevated curve at the neck that is constructed in a way to keep the spine in proper alignment. The pillow comes with a zippered, removable terry cloth cover.
-
Body Sport’s
Cervical Traction Neck Pillow is firm and has a unique shape that allows the spine to retain its natural position. Its orthopedic design may help to reduce stiffness and snoring.
-

It is constructed of SureTemp memory foam that allows air to flow through the fibers so that the pillow does not become too hot and disturb sleep.
